5.00The hike for older people is taxing. But if you can do it it is well worth the effort. Bring an umbrella on the boat ride you will need shade. The bikes are a bit old and not well maintained. Mine had no rear brake stopping power.
Fantastic

5.00Great to have a small group and experienced guide Hoa who got us ahead of the crowds at all the stops. Hoa made the trip special by providing little extras (such as a fan and umbrella) to help manage the heat. Very well planned and very enjoyable.
Great day out - challenging/rewarding hike
