The waterfall is a quick turn around but we saw bats and monkeys along the river which great. Delish bbq with ample food and drinks. The undersea walk was a strange experience, max 8 -10 minutes under the water walking in a small circle one person behind the other..you get to feed the fish which was the best bit, but think this part is not worth the money, hence eating 4 not 5. Overall we had a fantastic day.”
