Lost in space
This is a great tour to do very tranquil, when you’re in the canyon it’s like paddling thru the universe. Our guide was both informative & hilarious he made the whole experience very easy.

Was a lovely evening tour, but a bit pricey
We really enjoyed the tour, sunset over the lake was spectacular, the guides were friendly and great to chat to.

Nice but short
The tour was nice, the team is nice but the canyon with the glowworms is small. They take you for a round trip in it. it’s very nice to see because there are a lot of them and the guides give explanations. It's not worth the 210 but for 80 its ok.

Glow worm night kayak
We braved a wet night to paddle upstream, our guide leading the way of our small party. It was a dark & misty night as a hydro power station loomed up in the distance, with a combined effort we paddled into a slot canyon to which we were greeted by a fairyland of luminous glow worms

刺激的夜晚探险
我们乘车抵达了大坝水边，享用了美味的果酒和奶酪之后，就穿好救生衣等等装备，顺流划进了湖区，越划天色越黑，后来几乎就什么都看不见了，在划进有萤火虫的区域之前，导游把我们一行两条kayak绑在一起，由他带队，逆流划过电站，一路十分刺激，之后观赏也是两船捆绑一起，由导游牵引漂着前行的。萤火虫很漂亮，像星空一样灿烂，它们生长在峡谷一样的山崖两壁间，只有划船才能进入它们生长的区域进行观赏。对我来说是非常特别的一次体验，很棒！
