I've got mixed feelings on this trip as on one hand, it had some great experiences but there is no exploring a fishing village or stopping at a harbour! It was a pit stop, on the side of the road where we could see some fishing boats out at sea. The guides treated it more as a photo opportunity. They should revise the description for this part of the tour as it is very misleading and not true.
The luxury sleeper bus was a fab new experience for us, and was an ideal way to start and end a full on day with a comfortable sleep on the way back in the dark. This was a huge plus for the tour. The quad biking over the white sand dunes was so much fun and I highly recommend you do this! You could walk down to the lake but nothing to do other than sit and relax post quad bike ride. The red sand dunes was nice, although you have a steep climb to the top. It was nice to sit and watch some of the sunset.
The fairy stream was OK - personally, I could take or leave it as you're walking up a stream and then coming back on yourself. Nothing spectacular.
However, the tour guides were fantastic! You're given a 15% discount card to use at two of the local restaurants for your lunch and dinner provided at the end was nice. They provided some free fruit and washing facilities to have a quick freshen up before eating, which was a nice touch.
