Highlight of our trip! - My husband and I did this tour: ATV rides with Outback and rafting with Wave Expeditions. It was the highlight of our trip! If you are nervous or scared for either, dont be!
All the guides are absolutely incredible and both excursions were incredibly safe. I wish I remembered our ATV guides but they were awesome. Our rafting guide Justin was amazing and kept us laughing the entire time. Transportation was provided and picked us up right from our hotel which was nice. Lunch was provided in the afternoon and the food was excellent. Both companies also take professional pictures that you can purchase (not expensive at all for all the photos, and we loved all the pics). 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
