Outstanding trip. The weather was rainy most of the day but our driver/tour leader did an outstanding job getting us to see the sites despite the conditions. If the trip was this good in the rain it must be awesome in good weather!!

Patty was a great guide & driver, and she made the trip really enjoyable. We made six or seven stops at different waterfalls and lakes, as well as stopping at the curtain fig tree. Josephine Falls and Milla Milla Falls were especially great for swimming. Overall a great trip!

The tour was excellent! I have a slight mobility issue and was not planning to swim but Patty our guide made sure my husband and I had the best experience of viewing each of the stops. I had trouble getting into the bus with the first step and Patty stopped home to get a crate so I could more easily step into the bus. It was a long day of touring but was worth it. Thanks Patty! Note to office though that the meeting place was confusing as it was an empty store front and not what was listed on paperwork.

Truly a memorable and magical experience. The falls were amazing to say the least. The foliage around was incredible. The waters were really enjoyable. Didn't manage to swim in all because sometimes the waters were too cold for me . The guide was great and made us feel really comfortable.

Thanks Orion for giving us a memorable tour yesterday, Dec 29th. The Waterfall Wanderers Adventure was great. Lots packed in within the day, and Orion’s commentary was both informative and funny (in the way he delivered it). His playlist was not chaotic, contrary to his heads up. We definitely recommend for people who have not tried it to give this tour a go.
