I really enjoyed this tour! It was very active, from biking to trekking to rafting, and. The amount of things I got to see was incredible. I really enjoyed seeing some of the out of the way sights. The stay at was very nice - the bungalows are great and the cooking class was really fun. The guide and all people I interacted with were very thoughtful and fun to be around, and had a lot of knowledge about anything you would want to know. Overall, highly recommend!

My husband and I could not recommend this tour provider more. We completed a 5- day cultural experience. The itinerary was a true representation of the experience we had. Our main guide Lu was great and spoke English to help us in the local tribes. Our local guide Jamo was also very kind and helpful. They were both so good at making each day exactly what was best for us. For example, he invited us to help cook meals and explained the culture, animals, and plants very well. Also, the food was amazing and hikes and adventures were great. They were very accommodating to make the hikes to our skill level and desires. It definitely accomplished our goal of cultural emersion and adventure!
