My Experience on this tour was the ABSOLUTE BEST, with the beauty of multiple stunning views, from the Yummy food Trucks, Malasada’s & The Macadamia Nut Farm. There wasn’t a dull moment On this tour Because our Tour Guide Andrew kept everyone entertained with Jokes, Information about the island & stayed attentive towards everyone in the group, he made sure no one felt left out but definitely included. It was my birthday & he wished me a happy birthday which was appreciated & the best thing about the tour was the waterfall & how the pictures he took were COMPLETELY free & included.
