Best tour available - The entire day was excellent. Christina was super knowledgeable and kind. The coffee was outstanding and the lunch was delicious. The waterfall was refreshing and beautiful. The moto ride up was a blast and very safe. Learning about the cocoa plant and processing procedure was fun. 100% recommend this tour.

Amazing! - This was by far one of the most enjoyable tours I have ever been on! You're taken on a journey through the mountains of coastal Colombia where you are taught about how some of Colombia's most valuable exports are produced. The guides and drivers were the highlight of the experience! Federico, Ronaldo and Alvaro especially, they could not have done a better job and they all went above and beyond what was expected! All the people in the community that I interacted with were unbelievably kind and excited to share their culture with others. It's a family business run by locals and it could not have been more perfect!!!!

Amazing!! - Our tour guide Christina was the greatest and kindest guide ever. Very informative and welcoming. The guys that drove us to the waterfalls were friendly and patient. Overall an amazing ecperience

A Must for Minca - The guides and transportation were great, the cacao was to die for, incredible views and experiences.

Authentic Adventure - This experience exceeded all expectations. The tour guides were amazing and extremely knowledgeable of everything, from the plants you’d hike by to the process of coffee and cocoa! You’ll come across different varieties of animals and birds! Get ready for an authentic ride in motorcycles though the jungle, enjoy the ride and get ready to live the most unforgettable experience!!!

Motorbikes are the best way to go! - This was such a fun day. Got picked up in a cab and drove for an hour to Minca town. There we were picked up by the guides on their motorbikes. They drove us to the waterfalls first and left us plenty of time to swim. Then we drove to the top of the mountain to the Sierra Minca hostel and we had 2 hours there to enjoy the views and swim in the heated pool. My only thought was they could leave us some time to wander in Minca town before getting the cab to take us back to Santa Marta.

Excellent day out from MInca - Excellent trip to waterfalls and a beautiful hotel, highly recommended. Great guides, great views, great fun.

Minca Perfect Ending to our Trip! - We were overwhelmed by the aggressive vendors in Cartagena, so we decided to escape to Santa Marta for the last few days of our vacation. We’d heard about Minca and booked a last-minute Full Day Minca Extreme tour since our hotel was unable to accommodate the type of tour we wanted. Viator contracted Tovar Extreme Adventure for our day. A driver picked us up for the private 40-minute ride to Minca. It was nice that they picked us up at 9am, so we got to sleep in a bit and grab breakfast. When we arrived, we were greeted by the owner and his 2 sons. We were a little surprised to find out we’d be touring the mountain on the back of each son’s motorcycles. Luckily, we’re adventurous so we embraced it but I can see some guests being thrown off by it. The boys (they’re 23 and 21 but lol like absolute teenagers!) were impeccable guides. Even with my kindergarten-level Spanish, they were able to point out unique things like plants and animals and history during the tour. The took amazing pictures of us at the Minka Waterfalls and made sure we had plenty of time at each stop. From the chocolate tasting to lounging at Sierra Minka, it was a relaxing and fun day!

Too long and unsafe trip - Due to some error, the organisation forgot to pick me up. They corrected this by sending a taxi for transport to the starting place. Important detail that I missed while booking: this is an activity by motorcycle! You just get on the back with the guide driving you around, no helmet, no safety. Everyone drives around like that, but coming from a place where full safety is the norm, this felt quite… well, unsafe. The waterfall was beautiful, the view from Sierra Minca as well. We waited almost two hours for the lunch, and overstayed in my opinion on the top of the mountain. After a descent through mud (it had rained in the meantime) we got a small chocolate workshop. Fun, but nothing special. The trip was ok, but felt lacking for the price and time invested.

The tour bus never showed up... :/ - The tour bus simply didn't show up after I booked a ticket, even though the organizer even confirmed details by email... well that was a day wasted.
