Joan –

I been wanting to visit the area for a very long time. Though I was born and raised in the island, coming to visit it’s difficult to go with family as everyone is busy and can never agree, but this tour was really awesome. The transportation saved me and allowed me to experience it and have a great time with a small group also having great locals being the guides Eli and his assistant were incredible, very informative and hyping you up every step of the way, to providing clear instructions and help when needed. Get ready to get dirty on the way to the water, so don’t be dressed up all bougie, they also provide helmets and life vests that must be worn at all times, please wear good shoes, you will be climbing on rock, different terrains and uneven ground. The walk and hike are so worth once you get to the water. Waterproof covers are a must! The guides do take your photos and share them with you. Very fun and overall great experience! Thank you!

Michael was an awesome guide. He was a great mix of funny, informative and energetic. He picked us up at our front door, gave us an incredible tour of the rainforest and took great pictures of everything.
