Epic experience A++++
Absolutely epic experience :) I booked this for my daughters 15th birthday and we had such an amazing time :) Everyone is so nice to deal with and our guide Malcolm made it feel safe, as I'm sure they all do and his enthusiasm was contagious. Thank you Malcolm.. An absolute must to experience this beautiful country in such a natural adventure wonderland. Highly recommend Bookme as it was so easy to use and a bit of a special is always nice :) Happy Daughter, Happy Dad 🫶

Didn't get a great guide
While my dad and me had a wonderful time, my mum who was sitting at the back got the wind knocked out of her when the guide crashed on her. The guide was just back from vacation and was probably not holding or sitting down as was meant to be and this was just on the first small waterfall. She didn't enjoy the rest of the trip.
