Awesome experience

Samantha_V, July 2023

We had a fantastic time! Rainer was our tour guide and he was very informative, did not rush us, and gave us a very memorable experience. From start to finish we had so much fun. Would recommend to do the mud bath was an experience of a life time including both waterfalls. The hanging bridge is definitely worth it.

Raynor (not sure if this is how he spells it) was wonderful. Very knowledgeable. He showed us a lot of plants in the area. He took pictures/videos for us. He made sure we were happy every step of the way. I would highly recommend him. We had an amazing day!

We really enjoyed this trip. The walk through the rain forest was nice. It only lasted about 30 minutes which was fine with us. We skipped the hot springs and mud bath. We didn't feel like getting in our suits. The guide was very informative.

What an experience!! We had a blast on this tour! Our guide, Rainer, was AWESOME. Friendliest guy and so knowledgable about his country and all the places we visited. Our hike through the rainforest was absolutely breathtaking- so lush and green and the waterfalls were amazing. I could have kept exploring all day! After the hike, we had a delicious lunch and then went down to the crater and hiked around. Then we got to experience the mud baths so fun! and the 3 different natural hot springs. A perfect way to unwind after a busy day of activity. Spotted lots of wildlife too which was cool. Highly recommend this tour!
