The rain forest walk was a bit short (about 15 minutes) but was a still a highlight of the tour. Also, the visit to the wildlife sanctuary was very enjoyable.

Tremendous day trip we had. We were picked up by Ryan, who explained a large group had to pull out due to flight changes, meaning there were only 4 people on the trip. Ryan was very knowledgeable and great company with us all day. We had a fantastic time and took lots of great pictures. As an extra treat on the way home we visited a chocolate factory in the middle of vineyard country and the views as well as the ice cream and chocolate were exceptional. Great day and made better by Ryan who was an excellent host.
