“This trip is not easy and there’s only one time that you get in the water unless you decide to cliff jump. There are “rest” stops where the guide stops two other times for people to catch up and to give information. Make sure you’re close to him so you can hear because there’s lots of noisy activity with boats and planes. It’s a good activity to see the city from a different perspective and not hot . It would have been nice to sick at the island …”
