Nice Fish - The experience was great, they showed us a part of Santa Marta that we would not have been able to see without them. They were very accommodating and friendly, with effective tricks to attract fish while snorkeling. We loved the guides who worked to include us and ensured everyone was comfortable. However, if you are not in good health and used to exercise, this excursion may be more difficult for you. The hike is short but strenuous, especially in the summer heat.

Wow - Experience of a Lifetime! - David and the staff where so patient and also concerned about our staff and enjoyment. What an experience to bike, snorkel and Kayak all on one tour. I love all the information and history that David shared every step of the way. It takes a little endurance to do this day tour but trust me by the time you finish you will be so glad you did this!

Fantastic adventure! - This was the most wonderful expedition! I went with my daughter. It was just us 2 and 2 guides. We were looked after so well and it was the best fun. The bikes were really well maintained. We were given water, breakfast, lunch, icecreams, coffee.... everything was done at a pace that suited us perfectly. We snorkelled, found incredible fish, saw amazing views... biked, walked, swam, climbed, ate, drank... it was my 1st day in Colombia and set the bar really high for the rest of the trip.
The guys were so relaxed and friendly. I couldn't recommend it highly enough!

Great Guide... all inclusive! - This was one of those tours where you feel like you get to do it all! The bikes were in great condition and the ride had a bit of a city and country vibe. The bike, hike, snorkel, kayak and authentic, delicious food made for a spectacular full day of fun. Walter was kind, upbeat and generally engaged. It felt like he enjoyed the tour just as much as we did. I would highly recommend this fun packed day!

Great ride in Santa Marta - Walter and his team are great host! In addition to the city tour on a bike in the evening, telling stories about the City, we went to the playa grande tour. We went biking (e-bikes) from Santa Marta to Taganga. There we enjoying the views, went on a kayak and then snorkiling. Had lunch in a local restaurant. Great experience, 100% recommended. Its a must if you go to Santa Marta.

Great day out! - Walter and Sebastian were great hosts and we had a great day. We were on a cruise so could not commit to 8am start as ship only docked at 9am. Walter was there waiting for us and adapted the times so we could be back onboard in plenty of time.
The ebikes were fun and made the hills a lot easier. Fantastic views! The kayaks however were brutal as we had to battle lively winds. We then enjoyed a great lunch of chicken or fish followed by a ebike ride back to Santa Marta. Thanks Guys!
