The organization, including transfers from the headquarters to the tour starting point and back, was very good. The operators were very friendly. The tour is fantastic, even though there are many canoes and kayaks out on the trail each day. You can always find a spot to relax and enjoy the scenery. The tour offers some challenges, but they are manageable, even for beginners and with children (at least 12 years old). It's worth it!
