Beautiful experience, impeccable organization both to and from the hotel and in travel. Special mention goes to our guide named Natty who managed to make this day beautiful and fun but culturally interesting at the same time. The team was professional and always attentive to the needs of the participants, from drinks on board to mats for the beach. I would say that recommending them is the minimum!

Everything was perfect! All the stops was very interesting and we had enought time to take photos and check everything. The lunch buffet had a lot of different options and the food was really good! The snacks and water was also included! Everything was organised very well, would really recommend this tour!

Once in a lifetime experience, as said by my husband. We loved the canoe trip. It was so serene, relaxing and transported us to a different land. Also the caves. The team managing our trip was super cooperative, systematic and very polite and sweet.

Absolutely lovely!! The fact that they come and pick you up and drop you off after the activity is a plus. The overall activity was great, and the sunset was amazing. The dinner was okay, a bit cold but fine!

Amazing experience! Our host was Emma and she was amazing!
