Our tour guide was great to deal with during the tour and in the lead up. Quick responses to questions and very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. It was a shame we couldn’t hike the volcano but we were still able to see the surrounding town and the ash was still being cleaned up. The falls was well worth it also with beautiful scenery. The only thing which annoyed us was at the falls everyone asks for tips so bring cash, we tipped the boat drivers and they asked for more. There are also people that come up to your boats in the water trying to sell you drinks etc and are very pushy.

This is a 3.5 = Pretty good. the guides were kind and resourceful. For the price this was a lovely way to spend the afternoon, the snorkling and island were beautiful. The guides did not actually know much about the islands or the environment, but were good people who need jobs. The boat was leaking diesel and they had to repair the engine several times. I didn't blame them, but the tour operator definitely needs more sustainable boats, it just does not make sense to send gas leaking, oily boats out into such beauty. Tourists - take a bit more time and find the highest rated green and in terms of guide training!

Our trip was a shared one , we knew this and pick up was on time, Guide gave short introduction at each stop then group had a set time before we moved on. Lunch was initially to be very early 11.30 am but we alll agreed to make the river cruise and lunch last stop after chocolate hills. Viewpoint needs 200 plus steps so not for the lesss mobile. Pity that quad bikes below disturb peace of site. Excellent buffet lunch and river trip with music and bankside cultural show. Good value and varied if you can spare a day off the beach.

My friends and I went to Boracay way back May 2019 to celebrate my birthday. Was looking for an adventure that we can enjoy. Then I came across this diving at Ariel's point for whole day. I didn't regret doing this as activity as we really had a good time. We went to the meeting point in the morning, went on a boat ride for half an hour. On-board we had unlimited drinks of soda, liquor and beers which is really cool! when we arrived at the area we were given instructions by the staff. You can dive from 5m, 10m or 15m. And if you get tired from jumping or don't feel doing it you may, paddle boarding and kayaking. The location also was secluded and very clean!

The tour guide was not needed if we were given a map of the theme park. I was looking forward to looking at the Winery but oh what a disappointment, Just a few empty barrels and at the end of the short walk through the walk way to the wine bar. No free samples and certainly did not have a french feel with a picture of St Marks Square Italy. Would have liked to look around the gardens but was hurried to the next cable car to the the top to the theme park not impressed. I had high hopes for this trip but felt let down., More toilet stops on the way there would have been good due to medication I struggled. More for families. Disney land and still building work being carried out. Would advise not to go but go to and spend more time at Hue, I did like the views on the cable cars going up and down.
