Not happy 0/10
I enjoyed the swimming at various water holes and the lunch at the pub it was excellent fantastic 10/10 5 stars. Unfortunately the tour guide didn't like to talk about generic conversations very much. He was promoting his golf tour company for like 11 hours continuously talking about them. Saying he didn't make a profit from his golf tours and trying to convince the bus tour group to book with him for his future golf tours.

AMAZING!!✨
This was truly an amazing experience! In such a short amount of time, we managed to see so much and learned a lot along the way. Our guide (I believe her name was Sharon) was absolutely wonderful. She shared many interesting facts throughout the tour and made everything even more engaging. Sharon was incredibly kind and made the whole group feel comfortable. She had a great sense of humor, made everyone laugh, and even encouraged us to step out of our comfort zones — like going into the cold water! Everything we saw during the day was mesmerizing in its own way. Even though the weather kept changing from rainy to sunny and back again, Sharon remained optimistic and positive the entire time, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour!
