We also got very wet due to a sudden storm just after leaving on the boat tour. You have to expect these things at this time of year when booking though”

“James and Nick are among the best guides I’ve ever encountered. Kudos to Superb Holiday for having them on your team! They were considerate enough to stop for a toilet break an hour into the journey to Bongawan Wetland. Though they may appear stern at first, they’re incredibly entertaining once they start talking. They even brought along props, like Godzilla toys, to make beach photos more fun and unique. Additionally, they went the extra mile by arranging a fire show, unlike other tour groups that simply watch the sunset and leave. In one word – exceptional!”
