Brilliant Mua cave - The climbing up mountain Mua cave in the afternoon was brilliant. The views from the top were beautiful & peaceful of villages & nature. Words can‘t describe it! You literally have to experience it by yourself, don’t miss it!

Good trip overall. - Very rushed. Every activity except boat ride seemed rushed. Boat ride was ok, but so many boats at one time spoiled it for me. Many groups. Tom was a very good guide though, and very helpful to me on the very difficult steps. Lunch was good, though a bit chaotic. You buy your own drinks. If you didn't go on the bikes, there was nothing to do. The info said you could walk around the village to take photos, but there was no village near the restaurant. A pity, we weren't told where the village was and how far. We weren't allowed to go on the bikes, as Tom said it was too rocky and not safe for us. (Aged 75). He had our safety in mind, which we appreciated. So those who didn't go on tthe bike waited until they came back, so we could have lunch. It was a good trip, though rather rushed. However, thank you to all involved, especially Tom.
