2.00If you are looking for actual trekking this is not for you! Very short walk and was 1.5hrs late for pick up. Disappointing for the amount of money.
A must-see for nature lovers

5.00Has a great day here with Viet! He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the park and the plants and creatures in it. Viet has done his studies there so he was really informative. There were only 3 of us so it felt like a private tour. We even had a tea and coffee break which was really sweet. Would definitely recommend!!
