“Excellent transportation, careful driver. This tour is mostly suitable for amateur tourists meaning those who don't like to prepare for the trip on their own for instance do not learn by heart all the route, chose casual clothes, is okay with a leisurely pace of moving. Because you will be kinda chained to the group. Definitely you have an option to walk nearby by your own route without any guidance but the guide will not expose the exact time that you have. So actually you will have to follow the group (3 euro donation) not to miss the departure back to home. But we enjoyed, amazing place despite we were…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 60 reviews · from $12

“It's not a hike, but a walk around the falls. Really beautiful landscapes, but it's a pretty touristy spot. You can easily walk around on your own, the path is really easy to access. The boat is a great option for cooling off. Otherwise, not much to see. Meal 130dhr imposed but quality. The 40 "wild" monkeys remaining on the estate are very popular with the guides but amuse the children. Super friendly guide and pro driver Reco: Don't give anything other than peanuts to the monkeys. They're dying... and stop throwing plastic packaging in nature! Thanks for our planet Earth”
