The capped group has no more than 10 people, with transport, admissions, lunch, and water included.

“Overall great even though there were hiccup and delays due to cockroaches in the car. A suggestion - Many of Viator visit plans are for minimum 2 people. If you are on business trip and want to go for a trip during a break day, that does not work. Suggest to support Solo travellers too. Shared bus for travel is fine in South east asia too.”

Most tours missed the view bc their guide saved the view for last. He also showed us some areas where the locals go for swimming and fishing. The tour is listed as a full day but he made sure we made it back to our cruise with time to spare! Best tour!!!!”

He also answered every question and you could feel his passion for his homeland and the people who live there on every tour. We also drove to a lot of beautiful places from which you can admire the beauty of the island. The food on the first day was great, the local stew wasn't to my taste, but everything was perfectly organized, including drinks and coffee.…”
