Awesome, especially if you are from the city and don't get to see much nature. Bring solid shoes, no slides or sandals.

Loved being able to get off the bus at several locations to view the falls up close. Close enough at one falls to actually put my feet in the water.

This is a great tour and very informative. Our guide Patrick was very knowledgeable and personable. There is some hiking involved so dress appropriately.

The half day tour was well worth it. Be prepared for some uneven walking and stairs. Our guide, Dominique was wonderful, however she only works on weekends. She was informative and very gracious in taking pictures for us.
