We had a really fun and tiring day!! Ww love the canoe rides, it’s so relaxing looking at all the amazing limestone formations. the cave visit was an experience that one can’t get in the city. The day ended with a chilling time by the beach for all the sea spots and a swim. What made this trip even better was the guide - Mat. He is very helpful and comical when explaining the different spots.

Ibrahim was an amazing tour guide. Constantly giving us information and is always happy to grab a picture for us. The boat handler drove us well and smooth despite the sea and the guy assisted him constantly aiding everyone on and off the boat as well as always offering drinks to us. The photographer was also a great addition. Not to mention the experience of the canoeing as well as the amazing view!!!

overpriced in comparison to the itinerary and distance covered during the entire trip. Guide was funny and helpful. if they reduce the cost, I’m sure they get more customers. Food was tasteless and cold..
