"We had an incredible experience with the All-Inclusive Overnight Hike to Knuckles Riverston. Our guide was knowledgeable and briefed us thoroughly before we started the hike. Walking with an experienced hiking guide and knowing there was a first aid officer and emergency transport vehicle gave us peace of mind. The hike itself was breathtaking, especially the 1.5km ascent to Riverston summit. The views were absolutely stunning. After the hike, we were driven to a beautiful waterfall where we enjoyed a delicious lunch in a serene natural setting.

The tour began with a comprehensive exploration of the tea plantation guided by knowledgeable staff who shared fascinating insights into the tea-making process. Walking through the neatly trimmed rows of tea bushes was a delight, especially learning about the meticulous care and craftsmanship involved in producing high-quality tea. After our insightful tour, we enjoyed a delicious dinner featuring local cuisine infused with aromatic spices, which perfectly complemented the serene surroundings. The overnight stay was comfortable, and waking up to the mist-covered hills in the morning was a tranquil experience.
