Customer Reviews

Best experience we've ever had - even better than the helicopter ride over the falls! The staff were very friendly, helpful and informative. We felt very safe at all times. They did a great job taking our pictures on the falls. They even went out of their way for us to see the island elephants. I also liked that they never take more than 8 people at a time. We had all the time we wanted sitting in the falls. Loved every minute! - Mary


Words fail us if we try and describe this experience! The instructor was incredible! Showed us so much wildlife that we would have just missed! But the falls experience was out of this world! He took his time, didn't rush us, took the best pictures for us, showed us cool places around the falls and gave us life long memories. The safety was amazing. Secure ropes, safe area around the top of the falls. Way better than devils pool. Highly highly highly recommended!! - Sujeet
