I absolutely loved this excursion and it was thanks to Kellis I even got there! When you arrive ask for Kellis to be your guide he is EXCELLENT! He was so patient, kind and really funny if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have made it up there. It was absolutely gorgeous the whole walk and I was so pleased I did it!! Give Kellis a raise IMMEDIATELY!!!

This was an amazing experience and it was definitely made very special by our excellent guide called Kellis. He was so kind, skilled, calm and and patient that even members of our group who were less confident felt safe in his hands and managed to climb up the waterfall and bathe in its waters. Kellis was such a professional and caring guide that we all got the most out of this stunning waterfall excursion. It was a day I will never forget.
