- We had a great time on our Side by Side tour. Had an amazing time zip lining, horse riding and the water slide is a must if you are up for it.

Douglass at Side by Side ATV - My son and I went on this excursion. They let me pick my own horse and he was big and beautiful. The river was quite a thrill w much excitement. The lunch was delicious and healthy. We were a peaceful group and I feel like everyone was enjoying there day. I felt very fond of Douglas on the Beach at Occidental and would love 💗 another chance to do an excursion through him. They also set us up w a surf guide that I felt very relaxed in booking with. Louise was awesome. Douglas was so handsome.

NEVER BOOK THROUGH LEO ON THE BEACH!! BOOK THROUGH YOUR CONCIERGE!!!! - We booked an all-day 4 adventure with Leo (outside of Coast Beachfront and Occidental Hotel. Leo is a scam-artist! He booked 8 couples on the same shuttle. We all assumed we were going together on the same tour (waterfall, horseback ride, water tubing, and zipline, lunch included). It was supposed to be a 5-hour tour, w/ 2 hours travel time total. It ended up being a 10-hour day. Eduardo (shuttle driver) dropped off one couple (2 hours away), then continued to drop off each couple to different tours. Eduardo LEFT me and my 16 y/o daughter off to do the zip line, etc. However, it rained, and all tours were cancelled. Eduardo came back 2.5 hours later (from picking up another couple). it was just awful. Leo never refunded our money ($300 for two), nor would he answer our phone calls. Everyone on our shuttle were pissed. We never even got the lunch bc Leo didn't pay for any of us. He just kept our money.
