Yes definitely.

10 out of 10.

Hanne Samson review 25 Sep 20114 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


Learning about and working with the animals at the wildlife centre at Matang; tribal-style living deep in the rainforest, and the guides' ability to source food from nature with fishing spear and machete - and much, much more.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Be open to all the wonderful experiences you will have - and ensure your fitness level is at least moderate for the bushwalks!

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Absolutely!

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


Just brilliant: 10 out of 10! Would love to go back someday soon!
