With well-planned arrangements, a beautiful sea view, and ample administrative support, everything went smoothly and safely, making for a wonderful day.
The mountain climb was hot, humid, strenuous but the view at the top is worth it.it helps that there are markers that tell you how far you have left 2 get 2 the top as well as guides stationed along the way to make sure of safety.it was very reassuring, its a climb through mangrove roots and a few wooden ladders but there are ropes to help steady oneself, again once you get to the top its worth it. going down was easy. We had lunch and were lucky that our guides found us a table because the eating area is kinda small. the 2nd island snorkeling unfortunately the tide was low and the snorkeling area the coral was too close to the surface and dying, grey and sad and not too many fish. The 3rd island was great.we got to dock and chill on the beach for 45 mins, beautiful spots to swim, then we went snorkeling unfortunately it was jellyfish galore, got stung a few times.wear full body swimsuit
This was a full-day trip, and the tour guide was very helpful, waiting for us at the hotel entrance when it was time to leave. However, the itinerary felt a bit rushed; I wish we could have included more stops to experience the beauty of Mount Kailash. I would definitely participate again in the future.
The tour guide will contact you the night before with your vehicle's license plate number and pick-up time. The guide is very punctual and speaks Chinese. The drive takes about an hour. After arriving, you'll see proboscis monkeys, have lunch, watch the sunset, see molten iron fireworks, and watch fireflies before heading back.
Thanks to our tour guide Tommy for his excellent arrangements, which made our boarding and activities very smooth with little waiting. He also paid close attention to the safety of the children along the way and took special care of our vegetarian meals. We had a great time and felt at ease throughout the trip, making it an unforgettable journey.
