Fantastic 5.0
Due to the typhoon, many travelers canceled. Our family of three was the only one left on this tour. The rappelling down the waterfall was incredibly thrilling for the child. It was quite an adventure, and I got a few minor scrapes, but it was definitely worth it and very unique. Most river tracing tours don't include rope rappelling.

If you're prone to seasickness, remember to take medication half an hour before boarding. The boat's windows are very clean, and it happened to be a sunny day when we departed, so the underwater world was almost completely visible. It's perfect for people who are afraid of the water and don't dare to try snorkeling~

Great 4.0
1. Coach: A good coach is more important than anything else, and I've experienced both good and bad ones. The first coach, an older gentleman, was very kind; he chatted with us, took photos for us, and taught us not to be afraid. In contrast, another younger coach started the activity before we were even ready, before we had fully sat down or properly gripped the handles, constantly urging us to hurry up. Although we were on the water and wearing life vests, so nothing serious would happen, these are issues of safety and attitude. (I don't know what that coach teaches, but it's best to avoid younger coaches.)
2. Facilities: The showers were old and dirty, and there were insects. I'm a germaphobe and afraid of insects, so those spaces made me feel anxious. I recommend just a quick rinse there and then showering properly back at your hotel.
3. Experience: If you're not strong, don't do this activity. You have to constantly grip the handles, and they're very slippery. I even fell into the water midway because I genuinely ran out of strength. It requires much more effort than I expected. The force was so strong that I completely lost my grip several times because I had no strength left. Luckily, my friend was next to me, supporting me.

I had such an amazing kayaking experience! I saw turtles and lots of fish, which made it truly special.
The guide was kind and very friendly throughout. Since I didn’t have a scooter, he even helped by giving me a ride on his, which was incredibly helpful and much appreciated.
Overall, a wonderful experience — highly recommended!

The whole experience was amazing. I booked for the 5:00 pm clear kayak. The sunset was absolutely breathtaking. The instructors reassure you a lot and help you take amazing pictures. I just wish the management was a little better in instructing people. Sometimes they forget who was in which group and the waiting part felt long.

Thank you so much Coach A-Ping for being so meticulous and patient in explaining things to the children. I was initially worried about my husband not being there to help, but the sisters and brothers inside also helped the children with dressing and undressing. I am really grateful. The coach also took so many beautiful and great photos for our family. We love them so much! 💖 I really highly recommend this activity.

I fell in love with SUP and snorkeling on my first try! The water was crystal clear, and the instructor was attentive and professional, making the whole experience safe and fun. The scenery along the way was incredibly beautiful. It's truly worth experiencing and creates unforgettable memories.
Floating on the sea with the SUP, feeling the gentle sea breeze, my mood instantly relaxed.
Snorkeling allowed me to admire the underwater world and schools of fish up close; the scene was so beautiful I didn't want to leave.
Whether you come with friends, your partner, or family, you'll create a wealth of wonderful memories. I genuinely recommend it!

Such a great experience, lovely and passionate people running the tour and despite the language barrier they were very patient, attentive and friendly. The instructor initially pulls you around when you are attatched to a float to show you to the reef and make sure you can use your snorkling equipment correctly; then you are able to explore for yourself. So many beautiful fish, not invasive to the environment (marine protected area) and a highlight was seeing a turtle. They even take a few pictures for you and upload to their Facebook for you to download.
