A great way to spend the morning! - The guide Angel lead us through the many twists and turns of Rio Secreto, all the while giving us historical and natural facts about the site. It was a fun experience.

AMAZING TOUR!!!!! - Hands down… the BEST excursion I’ve been on!!! Michael the tour guide was AMAZING! I would recommend you be pretty fit since you’re biking, hiking, and swimming for 6 hours. It’s at a decent pace and you get plenty of food and water, however, if you’re not used to being outdoors, then don’t do it. As for those of you who enjoy nature walks, this will not disappoint. Michael will explain the many animals you’ll see along the way and the history of the caves. I went by myself and quickly built a bond with the group. This is the perfect way to detach and enjoy nature in all of its beauty. 10/10. Highly recommend!
