Magical Water Experience - Our guide Steven made this a most wonderful adventure. He shared an abundance of knowledge about the trees, plants, animals as well as the water itself. His enthusiasm combined with his attention to how we were all faring on the hike made us feel safe and excited. Truly it was an empowering, joyful experience for all six of us.

Fantastic Tour - Freddy was an amazing guide! Patient and funny. Both the adults and kids in our group felt very safe with him. We all loved it and highly recommend the tour! The hike was challenging in a good way and even the two 10 year olds in our group were able to do it, without complaints!

Super Fun! - Our family of 4 (boys age 14 & 18) loved this afternoon visiting the waterfall! Trekking through the water was refreshing on a hot day and once there the experience of swimming in the falls was incredible. I would highly recommend it. We went on the 3pm tour and being the last tour of the day if wasn’t busy at all. We had our own tour guide- Joshua who was great!

Worth the effort - It was a bit more difficult than what i remeber reading. Not hard, but not flip flops. there are sections were you have to hang on to a rope and go accross some rocks. Joshua was our guide and super nice, my wife and friend are stablility challanged, and he took the time to help them. It was so worth the effort to see the waterfall that is basically in a tavern. super cool
