This was SO so so so fun! If you're only going to do one trip - do this one!! we climbed 12 waterfalls up, and jumped/slided down again. Adrenaline kick! So amazingly professional people who works there, they simply just pull you up the waterfalls. This is what we remember most about our holiday, and we all agree this was... More

Great trip but very strenuous and somewhat dangerous. Claustrophobic people would have stressed out for sure. Some tight places with rocks all around you. Difficult terrain to climb etc. More

This was one of the most amazing and memorable things I've ever done in my life. Its an adrenaline rush and something you will never forget. Its definitely hard getting to it, and sometimes difficult to navigate but certainly a must do. We did take an underwater camera but unfortunately our pictures didn't turn out. I was disappointed that we... More

A must-do excursion!! We did the first 12 waterfalls and it was the highlight of the trip. You can book through your hotel so the tour and transportation (and in our case, lunch and tons of booze) is included. Warning - you will be jumping off or sliding down waterfalls so if you have a HUGE fear of heights this... More

I did the 7 waterfalls excursion and it was really fun. You have to have some degree of athleticism to do it. The 3 guides literally pulled, pushed and hauled us up waterfalls against the current. No one on our trip got hurt.... but i can see how easy it would be to get a bit cut or bruised up!... More

For fun, adventure, and beautiful scenery, 27 waterfalls is a must. Guides will lead you through the jungle up the mountain to the first waterfall. From the side of the waterfall, you will jump into the beautiful, clear blue pool of water below, then glide or swim down river to the next waterfall. Some of the waterfalls create perfectly smooth... More

The walk up to the falls is long & demanding. I would not recommend this tour to older or out of shape persons!!! The path is very narrow at points & it was muddy & slippery when we took the tour. It is very beautiful but a demanding hike. The guides were great. We only did 12 of the falls... More

The waterfall excursion was amazing but nothign that we expected. We figured we'd walk through the forest to a calm pong area where you could climb up and just down rocks where the water was flowing over... WRONG. This thing is a full day workout, you have to swim against strong currents, scale rocks, have the people helping you swing... More

For the record, I'm in my 20's and I'm 5'11 and weigh over 300lbs that is equvalnt to a 5'5 250lb person. and I did the waterfalls. All you really need is strong legs and arms. People who were smaller than me had trouble so size and weight IS NOT a factor at all when it comes to the falls.... More
