Just get ready for a cardio workout if you choose the route with the waterfalls. The highlight was definitely the rail bike ride — which we almost cancelled due to the rain! But if it’s only a slight drizzle, I recommend you stick with it. It’s fun and scenic. Our tour guide Ki was also a fun and funny guy, full of fun tidbits and entertaining quips. Super nice dude who put the cherry on top of a great trip.”
