“Definitely worth it - Josh and Kobe were absolutely amazing!! Josh’s knowledge and passion for this experience was incredible. Kobe was very helpful for me, I am 7 months pregnant and he guided me and helped with my tube. I opted out of zip lining- but my boyfriend had a blast. I highly recommend this tour- and request Josh and Kobe!” - Reviewed on 2024-09-23
