Balas Island & waterfall trekking

Posted Date: 2023/09/21

ごーひこ

The morning trek to the waterfall was very well explained and the guides were kind and attentive. We arrived at the waterfall at just the right time, and I have no complaints! The timing for the visit to Balas Island was also perfect, allowing us to land individually. It was very beautiful, and I was very satisfied!午前中の滝へのトレッキングもとても丁寧で親切に説明していただきながら、
滝についたタイミングもよく何も文句ありません！
バラス島もこれまたタイミングをきちんとはかっていただき単独で上陸もでき、とてもきれいで満足でした！
