So worth it ! 3 of us went. Pick up just as advertised. Comfortable bus, good stops including lunch. Was at least a 30 min walk at end as one of us was not so nimble and it was icy but we made it ok - lovely walk through trees. The monkeys were plentiful and I got the perfect shots of monkeys in the hot pools.
