Everything was great the driver was very friendly and informative the cruise was good and the buffet was first class the only thing nobody had any power over was the weather was a total wash out which made for great waterfalls but scenery was hard to see but that is the only thing that went wrong spoke to other people we met on our tour around sth Island and they all had a great time so bad luck on our part not the tour itself

The bus ride out was just as stunning as the cruise. Our driver was wonderful and had a lot of information about the area, it was like a history class at school that you actually wanted to pay attention to. The cruise was beautiful and right up to the falls was simply incredible
