The full spread across platforms is wider, extending from around $70 to $1,001, depending on whether you choose a basic sightseeing package or a multi-day private adventure.

The dominant theme is nature, appearing in 98% of the options we compare. In terms of activity type, Sightseeing Tours are the most common format, making up 79% of the listings. Other notable categories include Cruise and Sailing (40%) and Rafting (21%). If you are looking for cultural or historical depth, those themes appear in roughly 86% and 10% of options respectively, but nature-focused sightseeing is clearly the primary draw.

There is an unusually high share of private tours compared to many other destinations. About 40% of the options we compare (roughly 17 listings) are tagged as private tours. Meanwhile, 88% of all options offer a guided experience, but only 7% are strictly group tours. This means you have significant flexibility to book a personalized itinerary rather than joining a large crowd.

Duration varies widely depending on the complexity of the itinerary. Most tours fall between 8 hours and 4.3 days, with a median duration of 13.5 hours. You will find everything from half-day excursions to multi-day adventures, so it is important to check the specific time commitment when comparing the 42 different options we track.

Guides are offered in 7 languages across the platforms we compare. These include English, Chinese, Zh-Hant, French, Spanish, Cantonese, and Japanese. Since not every listing specifies language availability upfront, we advise confirming your preferred language when booking to ensure a guide is assigned who speaks it fluently.

Inclusions vary, but the most common features we see are:

• Guide Included (36% of options)
• Entry Ticket Included (26% of options)
• Private Car Included (14% of options)
• Hotel Pickup and Drop-off (12% of options)
• Cruise Included (10% of options)

Because nearly two-thirds of options do not explicitly list entry tickets or transfers in their base description, we suggest carefully reviewing the "What's Included" section of each listing before purchasing.
