What travelers are saying
We had an amazing time! The tour was very well organized and Estephan was very attentive and spent time showing my cousin and I around the ground of the park while we waited for the others in the tour group to finish their activity. The zipline was amazing and the best and safest feeling I have experienced. The guides for the zipline were very safety minded and engaging. The canal tour was also very good and we had 3 guides/drivers that were spotting and helped us see a lot of animals even in the pouring rain. We got back to the boat with time to spare and Estephan was nice enough to take us the local grocery store to find coffee and other items on our list.
tHe Zipline tour was really quite nice. Their attention to detail made the experience safe and pleasurable.
This zip line tour was okay. There are 12 lines of different lengths, but none extremely long. For someone who has never gone ziplining, they would enjoy it more. There was a good bit of standing and waiting the day we were there (granted, it was during a holiday cruise). The zip line guide let a group of 10 in front of us with no explanation which made our time there even longer. That is the reason I'm only giving three stars. The canal part of the excursion was fantastic! Our guide found so much wildlife - sloths, snakes, Jesus Christ lizards, and birds, to name a few - it was very interesting!
