Just superb - As ever, pickup was on time with a really lovely taxi driver called Budo. Our guide for the falls was Daryeau. He was brilliant and told us so much more about the wildlife and plants and we felt very safe with him. A trip you should definitely take but it is a bit more challenging than we expected or advertised, but we managed ok despite being in our mid sixties! The scenery was spectacular and our photos of the day are a fantastic reminder of such a beautiful place

Great hiking experience with swimming opportunity - I went on a hike along the waterfalls with my wife. We were picked up from the hotel in a taxi and driven to the waterfalls. There the taxi driver then called our tour guide, who then led the tour with us. We were at the waterfalls just before 7 a.m. So there were no other tour groups there yet and we were able to enjoy nature as a couple with the guide. The guide had to thaw out a bit at first but then became more and more talkative. There wasn't much information about the place but that wasn't necessary with the breathtaking views. In between we were even able to swim in a waterfall and were provided with local delicacies. The hiking trail leads through steep slopes and slippery surfaces. Sturdy shoes and a good basic level of fitness are required for this trip. There is no official hiking trail and some of the paths are very adventurous. Nevertheless, I can still recommend this hike to anyone who likes a bit of adventure and great views.

Beautiful but Challenging - This hike (the extended one with all 7 waterfalls) is not for everybody. It is challenging and requires climbing on slippery rocks and branches using both hands, gloves for climbing is preferable. Passing through creeks. Wear hiking shoes, proper clothes for climbing and lots of water. It is a beautiful reward swimming in a waterfall and then walking behind another!

Pleasant experience - The collection from the hotel was a pleasant addition of the tour. The taxi arrived as stated and a comfortable scenic ride both to and from hike. The hike to the waterfalls was steep in some areas and the rain added a challenge to the ascent and desent.....hike NOT suited for those who are unfit, over weight or aged. The guides were knowledgeable about the trail. Fruit and juice was provided during the hike.....water was not provided or offered as stated in hike description. Lovely scenery and guides allowed plenty of time for picture taking and swimming. At the conclusion of the tour, a lovely and delicious homemade Indian snacks and beverages were provided at the home of the tour operator and served by his gracious & hospitable wife and the guides. The hike was the perfect length about 3 hrs. A good day was had by all.
