Great excursion, very scenic and informative guide. Lots of hair pin bends on the whole journey. Pick up in the morning was a bit chaotic, I think a photo of where we were to meet would be helpful as there was another entrance. Another driver who picked us up in a car was a bit rude. But apart from that minor mishap it was a great day. Thanks

Amazing sunny trip where they wait while you have fun, speedboating, jetski-ing and swimming your heart out while they serve you food and drinks. What’s not to like?

Great guide. Begonia is a caring people oriented person. The driver, Valentin was very skilled and professional.
