Would not recommend Melissa_M
The pink waters were fun to see but the tour itself was disorganized and not worth the hassle. Also set a negative tone when personal items/money went missing after being urge to leave belongings on bus for part of the tour. The drop off back at the hotel took way too long and again was very disorganized. Tour says up to 12 hours and it was well over 15 with all the driving. Best recommendation is see these places on your own much less of a headache.
Oct 21, 2023, 10:59:54 PM War schön, viel gesehen. Freundlicher und kompitenter Tourguite (Pablo). Schöner Ausflug, leider nur ein Krokodil gesehen. Tipp: vielleichtcetwas mehr zeit für frei lebende Krokodile nicht nur eins in freier Wildbahn erleben
Great tour, transportation 🤯David Eduardo C
In general, the activity was great, the guides were super friendly and attentive and the tours were super well planned and organized. My only drawback was the transportation since taking a trip of more than 3 hours in such a small and uncomfortable seat is very difficult. The transportation It is done in a van, my partner and I had to go to the back with two other girls and being a van the seats were very small, I came home with pain in my back, which is why I don't give them a 5 although it is a shame because In general, the guys' work is great, you really feel welcome
