Flight of the Gibbon Plus Kayaking on the Lake

The first day we did went kayaking. This was nice and relaxing for a total of about 4 hours on the water. We started at a bridge downstream from a dam giving us a slight current making the kayaking very gentle and easy. Overall the kayak experience was very relaxing and fun.

The second day we were picked up for the flight of the gibbon without any problems. We were in the first group of the day. I would recommend going early! The heat is not that bad yet, their are a couple of parts where you have to walk uphill for a bit. Now for the experience itself. This was really great. The forest is beautiful, the Ziplines really take you through the canopies in between the trees with stunning views. Our guides were really keen on safety the whole day. They made a couple of jokes along the way but safety was never an issue. We did see a family of Gibbons close to one of the platforms. Although they are wild and free to go wherever they want.

The provided lunch was delicious. At the end you can visit the waterfall as well which was nice to see.

Overall; Flight of the gibbon very nice , i would recommend it when you are there.
