Excellent tour. Easy to find the bus and prompt pick up. We beat the rain which was nice, and the mystery cake at the inn was lemon, very yummy. We then drove up to the start of the rainforest walk. A family decided to take their own car, and despite leaving the inn before the shuttle, they made us wait 25 minutes for them. I thought this was extremely rude and clearly stressed out our tour guide as the family was not answering their phone. Ridiculous.
We were given red torches which helped to illuminate the wet foot path deep into the rainforest. The tour guide pointed out many bugs and frogs while we walked as well as interesting plants and trees. When we got to the end of the trail, we were instructed to have 5 minutes of silence and no phones/ flashlights so we could hear/ see the rainforest and glow worms better. The family’s children as well as other young children on the tour continued to go on their phones with full brightness and use flashlights. I don’t believe these tours should have children if they cannot follow basic instructions, and the tour guide said nothing, so was difficult to see the worms.
All in all a very cool experience, but would enjoy it better if an adults only option was available.
