My husband and I had the best time on our zip lining tour! We ended up being in a group of just 2. Initially, I felt bad because there were 3 guides (2 guides and professional photographer) dedicated to only us, but they assured us it wasn't a problem and happy to do the tour with just us. They were SO friendly, helpful and fun to be around! The estate they bring you to is incredible, and the 13 zip lines course you experience are so fun and exhilarating! The views from the top were spectacular. We felt well taken care of, completely safe and secure (I'm a pollo, for sure), and we just had the best time. I'd recommend it to anyone, even if you're a little nervous to try! I even ended up zip lining upside down - something I never thought I was capable of doing! Thanks so much to our amazing guides. I loved practicing my Spanish with you and laughing so much. The tequila tasting at the end was fantastic - got to try amazing tequila. The entire staff was incredible. Highly recommend!

Amazing activity to do, so worth the money. Easy pick up and drop off, gorgeous horseback ride through the jungle and beachfront. No previous riding experience needed to have a blast. The horses were so sweet and friendly. The staff were very kind and knowledgeable about horses and the area, and prioritized a safe experience for our group.

We had an excellent day horseback riding through the jungle and on the beach with Guzman. He was friendly, knowledgeable and made the experience informative and FUN. Tequila tasting afterwards was great! We will definitely be visiting the beautiful ranch again, next time we are in Sayulita! Highly recommend!!! ❤️

Amazing! Love the staff and the location was beautiful. Would recommend for everyone!

Everything was great, in particular the staff. Very attentive!
