Brilliant! Outatanding jokes

Fantastic, my tour kind was hilarious. Didn’t even charge us extra for the jokes. We were warned that we’d get “stick envy” on the way down… and boy did we. The company provide you with every thing you need for the walk. The waterfall hike itself is a little challenging (I have moderate/good fitness) and I did find myself looking at the woman next to me and her inhaler and wondering if she’d let me half a quick puff… inhaler envy I guess. But the way down Is harder, especially if it’s wet. This is definitely when you see stick envy. You can choose to just curl up and roll back down. But I don’t think it’s advised. There is a hose to clean off your trainers, but it was long and slow because some people seemed to want to get them back to show ready. My favourite part was when someone asked if there was a toilet and the guide keeping a straight face while replying, “Well. This is the middle of a rainforest, they don’t normally come with bathrooms” 😅😅… there is one just, but it’s at the bottom of the car parks. My only regret was that I didn’t get to tip my guide. I forgot cash and UK sims don’t allow V payments and I really wanted to give a tip. I’m so sorry about that. Thank you for such an awesome trip, so worth the money. Mahalo

Great time! Different from the diamond crater and the beach. You are submerged into a beautiful tropical rainforest. Wear shoes you don’t mind getting muddy😎
