Sebastian was an incredible guide- he was attentive, patient and kind. He kept everyone's comfort and enjoyment in mind. Today my son engaged enthusiastically in all the activities, pushing past his own fears, primarily because of the encouragement from Sebastian. What a fun way to spend a day!

Had a great time with our guide Sebastian. He offered both a easier and a more challenging path for those willing to take it. Very beautiful views and very interactive. Definitely would book again but before any heavy rain to get the full experience.

I cannot make a decision, everything was beautiful, safe, and fun. Renee and Jami, our guides went above and beyond, answering our questions , and manage our clumsiness with patience. I recommend this tour and this company 100%

Great experience ! Our tour guides were amazing , very nice and answered any questions we had. Food was good especially the chicken salad. Would do it again

Enjoyed the ATV ride and some beautiful views. Great surroundings in the rainforest
