Honestly, I thought it was just gonna be another bus ride, but wow—super smooth! Met up right by the hotel, no confusion. My partner and I snoozed a bit and then woke up to those CRAZY cliffs. We had loads of time to wander at our own pace, which I loved. The driver didn’t give a running commentary or anything, but tbh, I kinda prefer that. If you get carsick, maybe bring some Dramamine—the roads do get twisty!

Did the half day trip with my bestie. Bus was comfy, but ngl, those roads are wild. Our driver was SO chill tho and handled it like a pro. Got there before the place got packed. Weather was cloudy but honestly made the cliffs look kinda mysterious…wish there was a bit more info given en route, but all in all, def worth it.

Took my parents and my little bro and everyone had a good time. Easy instructions for meeting up, no stress at all. The cliffs are UNREAL in person—photos don’t do it justice, promise. Bus left on time, got us there early before the crowds. Bring a jacket, it gets windy fast. Hope they add a bathroom break next time, lol.

Went solo and it was chill. The ride itself is just transport—don’t expect a guide talking the whole way. Scenery was beautiful and there was plenty of time at the cliffs. A bit crowded on the way back but nothing too bad. My tip: sit on the left side of the bus for the best views!
