He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure every single person in the group felt safe and comfortable — especially the kids. We went as a family, and even our 6-year-old had a blast doing both the natural water slide and the rope swing! Orlando and the team took extra care with the children, guiding them step by step, and making sure they were confident and enjoying every moment. Their patience and attention really stood out.

The trail is muddy and some of it had difficult tree roots to climb over and rocks to get up, but our tour guide helped us with all of that. The only thing I did not like about the tour was how many other tours were at the same place there was literally hundreds of people in one small area.…”
