    Wonderful tour with Andy! He was relaxed, yet informative. The range, the falls and the beach are unbelievable.

    It was a wonderful tour...

    It was a wonderful tour with Adil. He tailored the tour to suit us - taking us not only to the sites referred to in the itinerary, but also to other locations that he thought we would like and were a little off the usual “touristy” venues. He also gave us a very informative and interesting commentary along the way. We thoroughly recommend this tour!

    Highly Recommended

    Nice Beach

    We had a great time with David. The black sand beach was beautiful. We also went to see a waterful. Be aware that this tour has a lot of winding roads.

    Our tour guide told us so...

    Great day. Peter was great amiable helpful host. The vehicle was great. The planning portion of the tour could do some improvement like 1. quicker responses 2. detailed itinerary and detailing the hours of the tour. I was under the impression that the tour is 12 hours. Our ending up being 8 hours. I guess it would be best to settle the time expectations. Overall we were happy with this tour company.
