Amazing landscape and great tour!

Brian is a very attentive and patient guide all throughout our tour. He provided valuable insight and ensured we were all prepared before we commenced our two-hour hike. He helped with our photos and videos. The views are amazing and the experience unforgettable.

Good trip, but meals arrangement can be improved

Rivel, Jul 2024

Pros: Karen, the tour provider, was fantastic and very responsive with chats. The tour guide was friendly and good at taking pictures It's better option than Rainbow mountain because it's less crowded Cons: The breakfast and lunch were terrible. They limit only 1 a quarter size of egg for breakfast. The lunch was barely edible. It's a bit long to get there. Altitude sickness: Please be aware and bring your oxygen.
