Wir haben eine Nacht in den baumhäusern verbracht und anschließend eine Tubing Tour gemacht. Die Unterkunft liegt mitten im Wald und man hört viele Vögel. Der Service in der Unterkunft ist sehr nett, sodass man zum Essen die Unterkunft nicht mehr verlassen muss. Die Anfahrt ist zwar etwas holprig aber lohnt sich.😄 Die Tour hat auch sehr viel Spaß gemacht, da wir ca. 2 stunden auf dem Fluss verbracht haben. Die beiden Guides waren auch sehr nett und haben zu einer tollen Tour beigetragen. Beides eine klare Empfehlung.

An unforgettable experience! We went tubing, and it was amazing. Lunch was included and delicious. The guides were very friendly and attentive throughout the tour. What impressed me the most was that they carried a first aid kit in case of an emergency in the river, which made us feel safe and showed their commitment to our well-being.
