Stunning scenery and tranquil location - Would absolutely recommend this tour. Our guide Archie was brilliant. Very knowledgeable and went out of his way to make this a memorable experience. Stunning scenery, and although it may seem a long time kayaking it went on a flash.

Not what we signed up for - Buses are NOT eco friendly. Not enough guides on kayaks with guests. We had total chaos. They took us to a public hot springs that was super crowded. They also did not have many choices for lunch. Overall, it was not anything described. Very disappointed.
