It was awesome. Our family of 8 had an authentic experience, enjoying the nature, zip lines and natural water slides.They have been many places with unique adventures and said this is their all time favorite. In fact, they couldn’t take their cell phones (they are teenagers) and said they didnt even miss having them as they got to fully experience this adventure.
Had a great time. It was super fun jumping from the waterfalls and sliding down the natural water slides. Monkeys were super cute too.
Great experience 5 star rating truly great service Monkeys was fun everthing was fun had a great time with my girlfreind
The zip lines are so fun! The waterfalls are a little scary for some. Definitely need to have a little adventure in you. To get to the start it is about a 30-45 min hike. Nothing too strenuous but moderate.
