Great expérience !
I had a good discount and I was alone both way, I was very lucky. The diver was very nice too. Amazing day walk.

Definitely worth doing
Really nice, friendly and knowledgeable water taxi driver, beautiful track to walk on - a bit harder to run on unless you're an experienced trail runner

Water taxi
Experience was great, knowledgeable driver who gave us lots of information within this 10 min and detoured to beautiful waterfall in the way to Sandfly. Also the time of departure/return was flexible as the weather was rough, the boat continued to go both ways through the day. I booked the tickets a day before so I have not received the instruction regarding getting there on time( turn left before airport and yes! the departure site is at the end of this road), so book your ticket few days in advance.

Lovely day walk
Was a nice and quiet walk, mostly flat. Waterfall had not much water in May but the path was lovely and saw many birds on the way. The water way itself was a lovely landscape.
