点评:Great experience hosted through Santo Heritage tours!
The guides did a brilliant job of looking after us all the way through the experience.
There were quite a lot of people (14) on the tour the day we went, it would have been nicer to be a smaller group, but overall it was fine.
The drive out to Mt hope takes about 1.5hrs from Luganville, and if you're in a big group they'll put you into an open bed truck with seats. It's quite windy and sunny, so hats with straps, sunglasses and lots of sunscreen or sun coverage is recommended. It's bumpy too, so sit on your towels!
The start of the River is a 5 min walk in the jungle down a quite steep path, and a small rock wall to scale down with the help from the guides and a rope.
My 70+ year old mother made it down, and so dit small kids around 4-5 in the group.
The river portion is great, you float down at your own speed and float through 5 rapids sections where the current is quite quick and you tuck your legs up into a floating position. The guides help you through and guide you all the way.
This is where I wish the group were a bit smaller, as it turns out I float slowly and I felt kind of rushed.
At the end you hit the final part and a guide catches you as you do the last segment of rapids and puts you onto the waterfall to climb up. this is super easy climbing, depending on how much water's coming down it. This is where the reef shoes they make sure you have come in handy.
You then hang out and eat some delicious fruit and snacks provided by the guides, hang out along the top of the waterfall and just chill in the gorgeous scenery.
You then hike back through a pretty easy path in the jungle for 20ish minutes.
You'll want to bring DEET for this, as there's lots of bugs and mozzies.
Fresh coconuts and then back in the truck home.
Great experience, great guides, incredible views and natural wonder.

导游在整个体验过程中都很好地照顾了我们。
我们去的那天,旅游团里人很多(14 人),如果人数少一点就更好了,但总体来说还不错。
从卢甘维尔开车到希望山大约需要 1.5 小时,如果您是一大群人,他们会把您安排到带座椅的敞篷卡车上。风很大,阳光充足,所以建议戴带帽子、太阳镜和大量防晒霜或防晒霜。路途也很颠簸,所以坐在毛巾上!
沿着一条相当陡峭的小路,在丛林中步行 5 分钟即可到达河流的起点,在导游的帮助下,沿着一堵小石墙爬下去,用绳子爬上去。
我 70 多岁的母亲爬了下来,团队里还有 4-5 个小孩。
河流部分很棒,您可以按照自己的速度漂流,漂过 5 个急流区,水流非常湍急,您可以蜷起双腿保持漂浮姿势。导游会帮助您通过并全程指导您。
这时我希望团队规模小一点,因为我漂得很慢,感觉有点匆忙。
最后,您到达了最后一部分,导游会在您经过最后一段急流时接住您,并带您到瀑布上爬上去。这是超级容易的攀爬,取决于有多少水流下来。这时,他们确保您的礁石鞋派上了用场。
然后,您可以闲逛并吃导游提供的一些美味水果和零食,在瀑布顶部闲逛,在美丽的风景中放松一下。
然后,您沿着丛林中一条相当容易的小路徒步 20 分钟左右。
您需要带上避蚊胺,因为那里有很多虫子和蚊子。
吃完新鲜椰子后,坐上卡车回家。
很棒的体验,很棒的导游,令人惊叹的美景和自然奇观。
