The waterfall swim was amazing and the market was fascinating. The river cruise scenery was surprisingly beautiful — like a jungle. Saved £8 with the pass.

Loved the river cruise — such beautiful green scenery. Lunch was excellent. Market was colourful and we got some great bargains on spices.

Great family day out. Kids loved the waterfall and the boat. Market was lively and we bought Turkish delight and spices to take home. Perfect combination.
