Percentage of review submissions]Total 4 items420代Posted in August 2026It was great to be able to enjoy both the forest and kayaking. Since we had the tour all to ourselves, they were able to accommodate our schedule flexibly. There was no hassle with transportation, and everything went smoothly. If I had to say one thing, it was a little tiring, but it was good exercise.

430代Posted in July 2026Taipa is a great choice because you can experience both the forest and the river in just half a day. The fact that we had the tour all to ourselves meant we could enjoy ourselves without worrying about others around us, which was a major plus. It would have been even better if the kayaking time had been a little longer, but overall, I was very satisfied. Considering the included transportation and what the tour offered, I think it was good value for the price.

540代Posted in July 2026Since it was a private, exclusive tour, I was able to participate without any reservations. During the forest walk, I felt the richness of nature, and while kayaking, I was able to enjoy the unique views from the water. The female guide who led us was very attentive, so I felt completely at ease putting myself in her care. I’m grateful for the fulfilling day I had.
