Our experiences here were really the best. It makes us crave more. The best experience I had in here is the Cliff Diving because it is my first time and it took me more minutes and a lot of courage before I jumped but it's definitely worth trying and you would love to go for a second time again and even for a higher elevation or cliff. Yeah! Having experienced all these activities, we are gonna go back and try the others too as well because one day is not enough. That’s what the Hundred Islands has to offer, full of happiness, it will keep you feel alive as the activities are great and you will be stunned by its beauty.
