Fantastic trip! This tour...

Fantastic trip! This tour was such good value for money and included so many fun activities. Marlon and Andrew were fantastic and got us where we needed to be safely, with lots of great information.

Well planned with a good view

Overall a nice experience with a moderate hiking experience that leaves is breathtaking literally, partly because of the 700+ steps. The tour bus pick up was convenient and the bus itself is comfortable, actually fell asleep along the way multiple times. The guide Marlon was great and full of energy. The view is amazing, you can buy snacks and drinks up top as well. The boat ride was the only boring part I felt but can’t complain too much since it’s included as part of the package. The ending at the animal farm was neat and throughout the journey plenty of opportunities to get coffee and food on top of the provided breakfast and lunch. Definitely recommend this tour

Simply amazing

The price is amazing taking in consideration everything is has. The guide was nice and friendly, I though the tour was pretty long when I booked it but now I wish it was longer and that I had more time in those places.
