We had an amazing trip to Opuke — the surrounding views are absolutely breathtaking. Our guide, Brad, was brilliant from start to finish. He even picked us up early so we could take in some truly spectacular spots along the way. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and friendly nature made the whole experience extra special. I would definitely recommend this trip (and Brad!) to anyone visiting the area — it was a real highlight of our travels.

Brad was a fantastic tour driver. He knew a lot about the area and answered all of our questions. I would highly recommend him! The Opuke Thermal Pools were very enjoyable.
