“The walk to the Materuni Waterfall was More strenuous then advertised, once there we enjoyed the waterfall but the walk back took longer than the 40-45 min advertised! The ride to the hot springs was very very bumpy and uncomfortable and the change facilities dirty and unsanitary! I wish TripAdvisor would be more specific about this trip!”

“Overall fun and diverse tour. My fave was the hot springs, but I love clear warm water. Hike to waterfalls was nice, with some information along the way. Coffee tour felt a little rushed and routine, but fascinating to see coffee processed in this primitive low-tech way. The lunch was surprisingly tasty and scrumptious.”
