Great Trip, Great Guide! - A great trip with Fernando, who was an awesome guide! The lake in the morning is placid and you can kayak at your own pace and the hiking back is challenging but doable. I would highly recommend to anyone who is active and wants to explore different areas of the lake.

Great adventure day - We had an awesome day with our guide who helped us kayak along the lakeshore, swim, and hike up to a delicious lunch in Santa Cruz. He made it personalized and flexible, and we had plenty of time to do what we wanted!

Great Combo of Activities, Nice Guide - Antonio was great. Just the right amount of kayaking, swimming and hiking, and ended up with a really great lunch (you pay), but the place he took us to was outstanding.

How many more hills? - Excellent excellent tour. 10/10. Edwin and Fernando were really knowledgeable. Learned a lot about local indigenous history and language. Patient and adjusted to the group’s pace. Bring suit and sandals for kayak.

Amazing day in Lake Atitlan - We had an excellent time with our guide Fernando, who was very accommodating, happy to answer all of our questions and helped us discover many local arts and crafts of San Juan (especially the honey and coffee place!). The Kayak tour was great and allowed us to take in the beautiful panorama of lake Atitlan. I definitely recommend if you’re around!

Amazing Adventures - We had 2 days of amazing experiences with this tour company. Our first day was with Mario kayaking and exploring the villages of Santa Cruz, San Marcos and San Juan. The kayaking was a blast and Mario made sure we stayed safe from the very beginning. The second day we did a hike with Alex before going to a cave high above the lake to have a Mayan blessing ceremony of our recent marriage. As beautiful the scenery was, we were most moved by the kindness of Mario and Alex. They both did a wonderful job at making sure our experience was special to us.
The owners Lee and Elaine were great hosts and organizers and gave us lots of invaluable insight into the Lake villages. We can’t wait to return.

Incredible experience - Absolutely wonderful, our tour guide Alex was the highlight right next to the views. We loved his energy and enthusiasm. He helped motivate us throughout the kayak and hike and helped us take beautiful pictures of the scenery and a lot of local information about the area. Could not recommend Los Elementos enough!
