“If you're tired of crowds, definitely consider this tour. These guys found places where you can enjoy nature without having to share it with 100 people around you. Bond was an excellent guide. He provided a lot of info about the area, took many photos for us and ensured we all had fun. Being in a small group meant it didn't feel like we were surrounded by strangers and we met nice people there. Now for the tour - the mangrove and the National park were nice. A shame we couldn't take a dip in the waterfalls though. Thai lunch in a restaurant hidden in the jungles was delicious. Hot…”
