Guest Reviews
"Larry and I had a fabulous trip!! Our two main guides, Mario and Klarissa, were exceptionally knowledgeable about the flora, fauna, and geology of the area. They also did everything in their power to make this a fun, safe, and meaningful experience for all of the guests. The support crew, Ramon, Nathan, and Damion did an excellent job of setting up camp, cooking delicious meals, and helping make the guests comfortable in any way they could. They also became an integral part of our group and shared their own knowledge and sense of humor and playfulness. We saw lots of aquatic wildlife every day (humpback whales, dolphins, manta rays) as well as birds and lizards. Klarissa did an excellent job on the botanical hike she led, sharing her extensive knowledge of the plants. We would love to come back some day!”
"We had a fabulous tour! Special thanks and kudos to the wonderful leadership of guides Klarissa Terán and Mario Escalera, who combined skill, wisdom, knowledge, caring, and laughter into a spectacular mix! I recommend this company at the 100% level."
