What a great experience! My husband and I had a great time white water tubing with Jose and Jeff! We got lucky and got the tour guides to ourselves! They made us feel safe and were very friendly! They even took us to a spot we good jump into the water off rocks a little higher up! Would highly recommend!!!

Did not send us pictures we paid for

Shela_U, Feb 2024

We had fun during the experience but paid extra money for pictures and they never sent us pictures. We messaged them multiple times on WhatsApp and gave them our email too but no reply. It's a little scammy and very disappointing.

Wonderful trip- Sabatian was a great host. We had time to swim and redo another wave. The weather was great so the river was smooth and the ripples fantastic.

SO much fun !

The tour was nice. We appreciate stop to get a glimpse of native tribe and appreciate their art and culture. Guides are professional and pay attention to safety. Highly appreciated, being with my daughter. Closed shoes are Must! The only downside: tooooo short! About 45min on a river
