Jeff – United States

The whale sharks were a bucket list item. The canyoneering was challenging but fun. Recommend the zip line at the beginning.

Sindi – Australia

This tour was the best tour ever! The activity themselves are exciting but more than that, the guides were kind and helpful and took all our pictures. The places we went to were breathtaking and there was adventure in every corner. Best day ever.
