ATV OR BUGGY Ride Into the jungle with cave coffee & chocolate

Sherry_R, Jan 2026

Girls trip

When booked we were told trip was at 8am. The day before I texted to confirm trip and we were told they were picking us up at 710, if I had not called we would have been late. Once we arrived at the place there was a lot of confusion, some due to no English some due to not having reservations correct. Overall trip was a lot of fun, beach was beautiful and cave swimming was a unique experience. Plus getting muddy was fun.
