Krista H.

It was a wonderful time! Our tour guide Alvin was very knowledgeable, we learned a lot, we got some exercise in, and we saw some beautiful scenes. They were very helpful with our four-year-old, and they even provided a taxi back to the ship since our taxi driver left us. I would highly recommend going on this tour! ★★★★★

Angela R.

Awesome tour! The hike is not too strenuous. Wear closed water shoes if you can. Just the right amount of time. Elvin was an amazing tour guide. ★★★★★
