I loved this tour. I did it on my birthday as a treat! Though the trekking is super easy, I was still tired after. It really is a full day of activities! My top tip is to bring a waterproof case for your phone. You’ll want to take photos every step of the way, and you may have to swim into some of the caves. This was my favorite part!
