Great trip, excellent guide! Stevyan did a great job showing us beautiful waterfalls, Diamond Beach, Black Beach , and the Secret Lagoon among other spectacular stops. Our guest house stops each night offered cozy clean rooms and home cooked meals. This was a bucket list trip that exceeded expectations.
