The sun came out just at the right time. Our guide Orion was great. He pointed out a lot of the large butterflies and told personal stories of interactions with local nature.

Faye_W

We had an unbelievable day, swimming and jumping into amazing waterfalls and swimming spots. Our tour guide was lovely, very friendly and informative but didn’t talk too much like on some tours I have done and let you rest on the bus between stops. Great lunch stop and perfect amount of time in each swimming spot to really enjoy the stops.

Guillermo_C

Liked very much the waterfalls and the lake, but the tour included looking for platypus and they didn't even tried to make that stop, and that's the reason why I booked this tour

Nigel_K

Great day, Clinton was a mine of information and managed us to visit all places, plus a few extras. Will recommend to others.

Hollee_H

One of the best tours I have ever been on, it had the most beautiful scenery that just made me feel so ant peace while on the tour I met some amazing people especially the internationals! I got to learn about people and why they are here and on the excursion.

Eithne R

A long day with a lot of driving but definitely rewarded by the stunning views and swimming spots. The day was quite wet so we couldn’t go in at Josephine falls but everywhere else we were able to go for a dip. Got a bit cold going from place to place on air conditioned bus in wet swimming togs. Perhaps this could be adjusted but there was a lot to pack into the day so time was limited in order to get to everything. Lunch was nice and staff friendly and attentive.

Sandra_W

Swimming in the lake and waterfalls. The water was too high to swim at The Boulders and after reading the warning, it wasn’t a deal breaker at all. Seeing the sugarcane growing and seeing the railroad crossings for the sugarcane trains was something I had never seen before. We grow sugar beets where I come from.

alisa_r

We enjoyed seeing the waterfalls and lakes and swimming in all of them. All different and beautiful!

Zoe_H

The tour guide was amazing! He seemed really enthusiastic and to be enjoying this much as us! The places we visited were beautiful too. Pickup and drop off went very smooth and we were on time. Value for money was pretty decent, the van was nice and airconditioned en lunch was pretty good. However I do think it could be a bit cheaper as I don’t think we had to pay any admission tickets. Overall it was a great day!
