They are key in a destination like this
There were 11. Since we arrived Jonny and Rafa have served us more than as clients. They looked after us at all times, recommended the best excursions, managed everything we needed, and left more than delighted. We stayed with Jonny and Morena, who made us feel more than at home, very cared for and detailed. DO NOT HESITATE!!!

BEST TIME EVER!
What a Great day at the mud volcano we had, pick up was on time at the lobby of our hotel, the guide was pretty charming and kept the whole group with happy vibes during the entire trip.
We would definitely come back and use Dennis and his team for more excursions in our future trips to Colombia.
We highly recommend their services.

Thank you!

Paid full price for half the experience! !! DO NOT BOOK!
Do Not book with this company!! Pickup time at our hotel was at 8:15 am. The bus did not show up at all. We got outside early and waited over an hour. Called the tour operator and they said the bus driver didn’t see us on the list!! WHAT??? Paid well in advance by the way. The tour operator ended up sending a personal driver to take us to the volcano. However, we were not able to go to the beach club to relax and have lunch because the tour operator said it was booked! That was included in the price paid! So it should not have been booked if we prepaid! Disgusted!

Hello Chandra,
We are very sad to read your review specially after being so diligent solving the case giving you a private excursion by the same price you paid for a shared one.
Take into account that we even partially refunded the amount for lunch to your personal account.
You do not picture the damage you do to a company by having such a bad review after the company did so much to solve your case and you were assisted personally bu the owner...
That's not fair.
We hope you come back and visit more of our beautiful country.

Private speedboat is much better!
Had a wonderful day at the Rosario Islands. If you book a 5 island tour on state you are in a long boat close together. Moreover, it is then more of a hop-on hop-off boat where you have little time per island. If you are with 8 people or more, it is much better to book a private speedboat through Jonathan. He is reliable and responsive. You can decide where you want to go and how long you want to stay. The boat is nice and fast and you are comfortable. We got water and beer on board. After 2x snorkeling a fantastic lunch at Playa Blanca.
Then we could snorkel again.
If you want, they play music to your own taste. Enjoyed it so much!
