“Loved it - This trip was incredible. Be prepared it is a lot of travelling by bus and very tiring however all the stops made it so very worthwhile though. Plenty of stops for food and bathroom breaks. The lagoon and diamond beach were both very beautiful. Our Guide and bus driver were great, driving in very snowy conditions at times but seemed well used to it.” - Reviewed on 2025-02-12
