such a memorable day exploring the rainforest water spots and waterfalls! such a good mix to fill your day, and enjoy a variety of natural wonders
This was a good god trip, there was a little traveling which was okay but when we visited one place the guide did not let us swim as he said the waterfalls were to high but others were doing it and kids were also in there, this was a little frustrating to say the least. Overall the trip was good.
Excellent experience. Lots of different things to see and do. Ian was an amazing guide
Our tour guide Noel was amazing! Very informative and passionate about nature, the rainforest and waterfalls. The drive to the rainforest was very curvy but we stopped at a convenience shop to pick up snacks or motion sickness medicine if needed.
Amazing relax day and amazing waterfalls views.
Cheers!
I loved everything about this tour. Highlights included guide Clinton's entertaining and informative commentary, the cultural presentation at the Cathedral fig tree, and the chance to see so many stunning locations in a single day. I wouldn't have wanted to do this much driving by myself, but being a passenger means you can relax and enjoy the scenery in between stops. Our group included a wide range of ages, and there were people travelling solo as well as couples and pairs of friends. There was plenty to enjoy at each location whether you wanted to swim or not. All in all, a really well designed and thoughtfully delivered tour. It also felt like excellent value for money compared to what I'd have spent on car rental, petrol, lunch and stress if attempting to DIY the same route.
Thankyou for your review! We are so happy to hear that Clinton was an entertaining and informative guide and that you enjoyed the tour :)
A great way to see many sites in a day. Even if there is rain it is well worth it! Swimming at Milla Milla is a must!
Thankyou for your review Olivia, we love to hear that the tour was well worth it even in the rain :)
Operator never arrived to pick up location. Myself and others left waiting for hours. Bus never showed up. Refused refund request with zero explanation. Terrible customer service. Scam.
Good afternoon, Thankyou for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We're truly sorry for the frustration this situation caused. We understand how disappointing it must have been to feel left waiting. Our records show our team did attend the scheduled pickup location and made contact attempts at the time. We were also able to collect other guests from the same location. That said, we understand this clearly didn’t meet your expectations and we’re sorry for any confusion or inconvenience experienced on the day. We take all feedback seriously and would appreciate the chance to look into this further. Please contact us directly with your booking details so we can review the situation in full.
I really love this experience. 100% recommend.
So wonderful to hear that you loved the experience :)
The destinations were great. The driver was great. The food was great. The van was great. The time in the van was not really clear when we signed up. It was a great experience but just need to know that you will be driving for several hours each way.
Thankyou Steve for your review! We love to hear that you had a great tour and yes there is lots of driving, as there are many places you get to visit during the day :)
