It took 5 hours to see 3 waterfalls that I could have driven to myself. Very little information given during the tour. The van was terrible, I'm 6' 3" and didn't fit. I could not sit up straight because my head hit the ceiling. It cost $200 per couple, it was worth $50 tops. Would not recommend this to anyone.

Dear Bob, thank you for this feedback about your tour. It is our promise to deliver an exceptional experience, visiting stunning waterfalls and panoramic vistas (weather pending), guided by a local expert who is well versed in history, flora and fauna. I am sorry that you did not feel we provided this for you, and we would like to converse with you about what happened on your tour. We see that the same tour you attended earned 5 stars from 3 other guests, so we are a bit confused and want to make this right. We hope we get a chance to earn your trust again.

Everything about the tour was great..especially our tour guides Paul and Shannon. They were very informative, fun and extremely knowledgeable about everything from types of birds to trees and plants. The waterfalls they took us to were breathtaking. One of the best experiences I have ever had! Thank you so much Paul and Shannon for making this experience the best it could possibly be!
