The tour was great! The only thing that I think was a bit missing is that we didn’t make a stop on any of North beaches. We only briefly saw them though the bus window. So I suggest to add a stop on one of the north beaches.

5 out of 5 stars

Fabulous trip seeing what the island has to offer. Our guide Turk was the highlight with his deep knowledge of the land and people. He was a delight! Great way to see many places all around the island in one day!

5 out of 5 stars

Justin was great. Hit up so many great spots and bus was comfortable. Really awesome time. You do pay an extra $25 cash for the waterfall but still loved it, just a little expensive, but so is everything here.

5 out of 5 stars

Great. Unfortunately the weather was not the best for viewing the canyon, but that is beyond earthly control.
