Our experience was exceptional. Met Paul & Eli along with 7 other adventurers. Eli was a wealth of knowledge and very personable. I believe she was born to do this very thing. We had a young child on the tour and Eli could not have been more accommodating and patient. What a blessing. The ride was excellent, the stops along the way, BREATHTAKING!!! The hike was moderately challenging for us, we are in our late 60’s, but doable. Walking sticks were provided a BIG plus. The waterfalls were spectacular and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a day out in nature with a most knowledgeable guide. THANK YOU ELI!!!
