4/5 - Good
This is a rainforest, so expect to get wet on hikes.






Had a good stay, no issues. Rooms are average due to age.

Excellent service, room spotless and had everything we needed for stopover, staff really lovely and helpful (thanks to Angela and her husband for driving us to the town and booking restaurant). Highly recommended. Thanks

Unfortunately we hit very poor weather conditions so we did not get to see the area as we had hoped.
Peter's Pool was gorgeous. Go when it's dark and see the glow worms.
Areas like this are why I am glad we drove up the West side of the island.
Big tourist trap!
We have seen many glaciers so did not go to this one. We were just passing through.
