Amazing first day nature hike! - This was the perfect way to spend our first morning in Puerto Vallarta! Carlos made just feel comfortable and safe from the beginning. He is really knowledgeable of the area and a really fun tour guy. We are lucky to have booked with him.

Jam-packed adventure! - This tour was amazing from start to finish. Isaac was a great tour guide - he was very accommodating with any request and made sure we all had a great time. The waterfall was beautiful and swimming in the water was a once in a lifetime experience. The hike itself is very doable and not overwhelming. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for an adventure!

Super fun! - Tour guides were Alex and Carlos who were super friendly and attentive the entire time we took the hike. They helped us when we were also in the water and took us around to even the little cave!

Beautiful experience - Isaac was great! Highly recommend going in the morning on a weekday, where there’s minimal crowds and it’s GOREGOUS.

Awesome jungle hike! - Alex was so friendly and accommodating. He always made sure everyone in the group was having a good time and no one got left behind. It was our first time on a hike this intense, but we felt perfectly safe traveling in the jungle with him guiding us! Swimming at the waterfall was a refreshing treat after all the hiking, and really rejuvenating to make the trek back out easy. Note that some parts of the hike are pretty high up and some parts with not much guards/protections if you fall. Just be aware you should be pretty good on your feet and not afraid of heights.

Outstanding view - Our guide cancelled for the waterfall tour. Very disappointing. We did however get in with another group on the hidden beaches. The guide was great, the scenery outstanding. The hike was a little hard but am glad we went

Hike to a waterfall - I liked the reasonable price of this tour, which was probably made possible by using public transportation. The guide was a nice young man but if you are expecting to be entertained and Informed about PV you will probably be disappointed. One in my group was also disappointed by the trail, which in most places is a narrow cement road also used by horses and ATVs. It didn't help that we went in June, when the foliage is not lush, but that's not the company's fault. The pool is refreshing to swim in and many visitors jumped off surrounding rock cliffs. Know that the tour provides zero water and snacks. There is a restaurant at the waterfall where you can purchase food and drinks, however. Also know that you may not get beach time after climbing down to town. Our guide polled the small group and everyone seemed to want to go back, so he called for a water taxi. It was an ok trip but nothing fabulous, and a bit of a challenge going uphill for those affected by humidity
