Guides such as Luis, Sebastian, Jose, and Lisette lead the roughly two-hour outing. Expect mud, bumps, safety instruction, rest stops, and a hilltop Mojito Bar afterward.

“he guide was kind, helpful, and took great care of us the entire time. However, make sure to drench yourself in mosquito repellent—we were bitten so badly we had unbearable itching and had to get prescribed strong steroid cream because nothing else worked. We even had to get tested for Zika, Nile virus, and more. The bites are finally gone, but we’re left with ugly scars. I wish I could upload the pictures, but it’s not giving me an option to do it. Nowhere in the description did it mention or even suggest using repellent, and it was terrible. We had a wedding a week later, and you can imagine…”

“The staff was fantastic. Very friendly and very nice. The boat is just smaller, extremely limited in moving around, using the restroom you have to bend completely over etc. The staff took great care of us and it was a beautiful ride, but it is just a small catamaran which makes it less comfortable.”
