    Beautiful area, coach and driver good. Guides mediocre. No real forewarning or effort to find meaningful solutions to activities cancelled due to cyclone. Just. Sorry about that. Luckily fo free days the locales are so great, we found what to do. I also honk TourRadar gives mediocre service and will not recommend you
