Ended up being only me on the tour as my partner was sick and could not attend. The tour was still conducted professionally and all itinerary covered. It was a great day, thank you again!

The overall tour was amazing. We got to visit a honey farm where they sold amazing products (spent wayy too much money in there), a cashew nut factory, beautiful temples. Honestly the whole day is filled with beauty and our tour guide was the funniest man - “dont forget your honey or your money in the car or ill take your honey to my house and not give her back to you”.

I bought this experience for my teenager, and it turned out to be absolutely wonderful. The horseback riding along the beach was a unique and memorable adventure. We met at the club where her weight was taken to ensure she does not exceed prescribed weight limit for the horse. After changing into boots, we took a short 5-minute ride to the beach where the horse and friendly handler was waiting for her. For our 9am booking, the beach was beautifully quiet—almost empty—which made the ride even more serene. Riding with the sound of waves around us and the open water views was incredibly peaceful. The horse handler was amazing—not only very professional but also excellent at taking great photos for us along the way. We ended the experience by feeding the horses, which was a lovely touch. Overall, it was such a pleasant and well-organized experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to do it again! Highly recommended.
