Helpful? Yes
The boat trip itself through the canyon was beautiful, but the shopping stops were disappointing. We were taken to a textile outlet and other places trying to sell overpriced items, including a stop at an orange farm pushing creams. Would’ve preferred more time in nature and less in tourist traps.
Helpful? Yes
Overall a lovely day. The driver was punctual and professional, and the scenery during the boat ride was amazing. Downsides? The soft drinks were off-brand and not great. The restaurant involved a long staircase climb that left many winded, and the food area had lots of flies and wasps. Despite that, we had a great time thanks to the peaceful surroundings.
Helpful? Yes
It was advertised as an 8-hour trip, but we were back in less than 6 hours including long pickup times. The staff and lake were lovely, and Eric was helpful during the booking. Just be aware: the restaurant has steep stairs not ideal for those with mobility issues. A good trip, but felt rushed.
