Amazing guides!!! Perfect day
What a really fun afternoon. I did the 12:30 meet up and it was perfect. The hike up the mountain is doable but it is about 45 minutes of steps and incline. It is fine because the guides don't rush you which is really nice. Diego was funny and light hearted. Mae was an absolute sweetheart who I spent a lot of time talking to during the activity. They took great pictures and videos for me which was awesome. It was a great day as a solo, 40-something year old traveler in Costa Rica!
The guides were amazing and knowledgeable, and I was not concerned. I saved it at all.
Excellent treatment, knowledge, humor, and patience. It is a blessing to be able to come here.
What a cool experience! This was my first time zipping and Diego and crew did a great job of preparing us and making sure we were safe the whole time. We also got some great videos as we "zipped" from platform to platform.
Everything was excellent; most of the guides were very patient and made us have a good experience. Except for one guide named "Indi," who was a bit unwell and gave us instructions in a somewhat unpleasant manner. This could make the experience a bit stressful for some, contrary to what one expects from such an activity. One pays for it to be a fun experience, to break the routine and enjoy, and Indi's attitude was at odds with all of that.
Diego, Daniel, Indy, and everyone else made this zip lining experience amazing!! They were great to talk with, and we felt safe the entire time! Definitely a must if you visit Costa Rica!!
Diego and Indy were amazing!! Felt very safe the entire time and had a blast. They prepared us well to have fun safely!
Amazing and very well-organized. Staff is fantastic! Would absolutely recommend to anyone and do it again myself.
The tour and eperience was great. Deago and Brener are two great guides. They make sure you are comfortable and having fun but most importantly they make sure you are safe. They even helped me with photos and videos. Definitely recommend.
