★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 15 reviews · from $152 a head

“Absolutely loved the trip, however at each activity it was a bit disorganised and we would have been completely lost without our taxi driver. He made sure we did not have to pay anything extra and had to keep calling the agency to make sure we got each aspect of our trip. The activities were good but not sure we would've been able to do them without him.”
