The tour guide was a little rude and I didnt feel comfortable asking him questions. We rode in a very little boat and went looking for crocodiles before going zip lining. boring The ride was about an hour, I just wanted to arrive at the zip lining location. We arrived and got 2 guides who did not speak English which is important because we didnt speak Spanish. You can only imagine the confusion that went on during this tour. We had fun, but it was a real work out. The buffet lunch was just ok and I felt
Iike they were watching us as we fixed our plates. We ate and that was pretty much the end of the tour.
River sightseeing cruise was a old flat motor boat. There was very little to see. There was a long walk to the zip lining and it was an old road and fields that were quite muddy. The ride to the cruise was quite long. Waling back to the lunch area was very wet and muddy. Would be quite a chore if it was the rainy season. The tour guide did not seem very interested in us during the ride to the cruise area. Not the best tour that I have been on.
This was an absolutely amazing experience! This was my first time ziplining and everything was extremely well organized. More importantly, I felt extremely safe even though we were hundreds of feet in the air. What was also nice about this was that if you do get tired, you can actually stop at a certain point since this does involve climbing a few ladders.
I would definitely do this again!
