Gorgeous

Phillip was awesome. He is on time. Personable. He picked us up at our hotel and we noticed his friendly demeanor. Knowledgeable. Works solo. Loves his job. South Coast is beautiful. We saw the waterfalls including the one you can walk behind and the one you can climb the hill. Both had rainbows. Saw the beautiful black sand beach and the cave with gorgeous formations. This tour is definitely one you don’t want to miss.

Wonderful tour

Saw so many beautiful places. The tour guide was very informative and friendly. It was a long journey but the stops were well spaced and worthwhile. It was worth every penny.

Water Every Which Way

Lori was excellent, communicated what was happening and giving insights with clarity and humour. Glacier walk a highlight, as was amphibian lagoon tour. Even the squall at the black beach was fun! We had water in clouds, in fog, in rain, vertical and horizontal, waterfalls, lagoons, glaciers and icebergs. And the sea. And we drank from streams and glacier melt. Fabulous.
