What an amazing day spent...

What an amazing day spent on this tour. Hidden Canyon has been on my to do list for a while and did not disappoint. Big thanks to Ding for guiding me through and making it so much fun. My trip guru for the day Komang Trisna was also great - friendly, knowledgeable, took photo's whenever asked and made sure my gear was kept safe whilst swimming at the waterfall. Thanks for a special day!
