Adorable Safe Tour to relax and enjoy the nature

5.00It was wonderful. We were picked by car from the hotel, met Nick (he runs Local Mint Travel company) and two more people at the local market, had a chance to buy some fruits and to hear more about different vegetables and fruits from Nick. Then we went by comfortable car to the natural resort, had a short walk to the farm with the goats, peacocks and ducks, and to the motor boat, that brought us around the park, showing different plants, honey bee nest, snails and birds (cormorants, herons, ducks), the landscape is so green and just unbelievable! Unique experience! Then we went on top of the three-floor tower to see the park and a large river from above, while flower peckers and other tiny and large birds were flying around us. Perfect spot for photography above the tree crowns. Nick has kindly organized a free drink and snack (local fruits) for us. On the way back we have chosen to walk through the park, and seen blooming lotus, termite nest, water hyacinth that sweetly smells stronger if you pour water on it, and a large garden lizard. On the way throught the farms and gardens seen many interesting plants, and Nick was answering all our questions, explaining the local traditions and habits. He speaks English very good, so you can enjoy the conversation with Nick. Then we went to the huge ficus tree, with mini temple and chicken family, it was possible to climb the tree and to take some great photos. The whole tour is easy, includes short walks in the shadow, wonderful scenery, interesting information. We highly recommend it!!!
Perfect! Book here!!

2.00Sweet trip but noisy boat motor shutting out all nature sounds. Rained heavily which dampened the trip in every way and couldn’t do nature walk. Nice tour guide
Lots of fun & adventure

5.00A great experience with a boat trip where the boatman gives you a lot of data about fauna of the area. He strives to see everything and understand it through translator and everything. Highly recommended.
Don't hesitate and book with it

5.00A highly recommended and enjoyable activity. Nick will do everything possible to answer your questions and explain everything. Try to get to the Noodle Factory and the Reserve before everyone else, and you'll practically alone. TAM is the best driver and photographer on the reserve; if you can, go with him. You'll also have a good laugh making a campfire and eating duck eggs with shots of wine.
Amazing tour in a gorgeous nature reserve with our super friendly and informative tour guide Cris

5.00Booked the tour for me and 3 of my friends and it was one of our favourite activities whilst travelling so far! From the beginning the company and our tour guide Cris were communicative and right on time for pick up. Every place we visited we got plenty of information and lots of photos. Despite the heavy rain the flooded forest nature reserve was gorgeous and the bird life was great. Being a smaller tour group of 6 was also really nice to get to know others and our very friendly tour guide who also gave us dinner recommendations for our return. Would recommend the tour for any group or solo!
