Reviews
The island itself is fantastic, but the tour did not have a very professional feel which I expected given the price. The 4x4 driving was not for me - it was very aggressive and felt like we were damaging the natural environment by pouring out diesel fumes. The camping was fine but would have preferred it had the guides known which sleeping bags were clean and those that were used, and that one if not both guides had stayed sober given how isolated the place was and they were the only qualified drivers. I'm sure there are other ways to get the most out of this beautiful place that give it the respect it's due. I'd go back, but not with this company. Shame, as it had a lot of potential and our guide Ret was very knowledgable.
