“I HIGHLY ADVISE NOT TO BOOK THIS TOUR. Then the time came for a “river” drive(not sure why is it called river but basically it is circular drive with puddles of very dirty water in the way). The driver asked do we want to get wet and we told the jeep driver that WE DO NOT WANT TO GET WET, first he listen and couple of rounds were fine, then he decided to forget it and started driving very fast in the water.

“Onze chauffeur en gids Jay was heel aardig en wist veel. Ook de gids ter plekke, die met ons met de Jeep naar de vulkaan ging, was erg aardig. De vulkaan is onvoorspelbaar , dus ik was blij dat we op veilige afstand bleven. De tocht met de Jeep was een feestje en de wandeltocht naar, langs en terug van de rivier naar de waterval was een flinke klim, maar prachtig. Kortom een heel geslaagde dag! Dank Jay!”
