Definitely a trip highlight - I found these guys via Tripadvisor and thought it looks fun. My wife and I are reasonably active empty nesters, and she had some trepidation, but I convinced her to give it a try. She ended up having a blast as did I. Our guides Renan and Kate were conscientious, fun, and very knowledgeable. My wife and I tried varying degrees of difficulty on the big waterfall in terms of the routes we took, but we both felt completely save the entire time. Great activity in a beautiful location that you wouldn’t otherwise get to see. Definitely worth doing..

Fantastic rappel over waterfalls - We had a wonderful time. Matt and Rasheed were professional knowledgeable and super friendly. They went through a safety and instruction demo initially. It was a pleasure to have them as our guides.

If you're not sure... BOOK IT!! - We wanted to see a waterfall up close and found this Da Life tour when researching. We were not sure that we're fit enough to hike and rapel, so we were hesitant to book. But we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did!!! If you want to have private access to a waterfall, this tour is awesome. Our group was a full one with 10 guests, but there were plenty of opportunities to take photos of the falls with no one else in the background. You are also safely guided, so you get to see the falls from top to bottom without worrying about where to go and how to hike there. It was a short, fairly easy hike. The steep parts were a little challenging for someone who is not super fit, but there were ropes to hold onto and it was doable. Our tour guides were Nan and Shiz. They did a great job instructing and leading us. We were pleasantly surprised at how easily we were able to do the rapelling down the dry wall after the brief tutorial. We were nervous but it ended up being easier than we thought. We had a blast rapelling the waterfalls! The first one was 30ft and we were both surprised at how easy it was to rapel. It was almost harder just watching your fooying to get in place up at the top of the falls than it was to rapel down! The second one was 60ft and was definitely more challenging than the first one. It was very slippery, even with the ninja shoes that they provide. At some parts, the water gets in your eyes and makes it really difficult to see. But even though it is challenging, it is a lot of fun!! We felt so proud that we were able to do it. And it was exhilarating. Finally, the location is just gorgeous. Remote and tropical. Exactly what we were hoping to experience when looking for a waterfall. If you're on the fence, BOOK IT!!

Highlight of our Trip - This was one of the highlights of our trip. If you’re on the fence just do it!! You’re in very safe and capable hands. I have very bad coordination, am slow to learn, and have a fear of highs but the guides talked me through each step of the way, they’re truly fantastic!!! 10/10 I would recommend!!

Good for a small group! Relaxed pace and a memorable experience - I’ve done repelling a long time ago, but wanted to do this experience with my wife. Her first time repelling! We both had a blast!! There was 5 in our group, we each spent a few mutes training, hiked to the 30 ft waterfall and repelled (about 2 minutes each) before the 60 ft waterfall (about 4 minutes each). Good instruction, well maintained gear, and comfort while defending. An excellent experience that I’d recommend!

The most fun - We had the best time. Super exciting to try something that we’d never done before. Our guides were so nice and explained things really well, encouraging us the whole time. We got there for check in at 7:15 and left around 12:30 as advertised for the tour length. We were a party of 2 in a 6 people group, I think it was the perfect group size so we didn’t wait too long before our turn.

Fun and unique experience - Guides were great. The kids enjoyed trying something new and unique. Both waterfalls were fun to go down. The trail to get to the falls was very slippery due to recent rain. But everyone made it and had a good time.
