Our guide showed up 40 minutes late. We almost left until he came down the path. The lake was beautiful and the guide was knowledgeable and nice. Our kayak had a leak and we had to make a mad dash to shore and empty the water or we would have sunk. We finally aborted and went back to shore. Don't get me wrong. The views were pretty and I hope this is only our experience and not anyone else's.
Quiet intimate experience kayaking across lake atitlan to the sandy beach of las Cristalinas where you can swim in the water.
The guides were awesome. Came to our hotel and helped us navigate the water taxi type transportation to cross the lake. We did ask for a later start time which they agreed to but once on the lake it was very choppy and I was told that was because of the later start time. It would be nice if they had told me that because had I known that I would have stuck with the earlier start time. The lake was beautiful, the beach we landed on was very nice too. There are vendors there so bring $$ if you want to shop or buy snacks. The guides stayed with us while kayaking and helped us maneuver the waves. They did not have the right amount of kayaks though and tried to put my husband and I in a double which was a disaster! Ultimately they were able to get us singles from another location. The trip had to be shorter which was fine by us, the choppy lake made for an intense workout after about 2 hours! All in all the day was very good. We would definitely recommend this company. just keep in mind things are very laid back and timing is all relative. Ask questions, be prepared because unlike the states safety is not the number one concern. I say this not to deter anyone but because all of my concerns would have been sorted out before we came if we were in the states but things are very relaxed in this little water front town so be prepared for it, go with the flow and enjoy the beauty of the lake and nature!
Amazing experience! Salvador was an excellent tour guide and went above and beyond our expectations! Would highly recommend!
