We had so much fun on the horseback riding and chocolate tours! The horses were wonderful and the guide taking us into the mountains was so sweet and a great guide. We stopped at a beautiful spot by the water. The chocolate tour was delicious! Loved learning how chocolate is made from pod to deliciousness. The adventure park was well run and had lots of other activities going on! Highly recommend choosing this adventure company for tours.

Chocolate making great!!

teritillett, Mar 2026
I’m old so the horseback riding was not my fav but David was great and they helped me a lot but I felt sorry for the horses. It was too hot and they were panting. The waterfall and swimming was not worth getting in. But that chocolate experience made the whole thing worth it. Wow!! The smell and taste of the chocolate we made….. incredible. Mary and Heidi were great!

This was the most amazing experience! Danny was so knowledgeable about the chocolate, and it was so fun to see the process from start to finish. The horse ride was really fun through the jungle. The guide made it really fun and knew a lot as well. Great horses and well kept property.

Hang on and enjoy nice walk

Chris_S, Feb 2024
Easy ride, anyone can do it. Just sit on the horse and hang on. They'll follow the horse in front. Wear clothes that dry quickly to enjoy a dip in the cool waterfall pool.

Wonderful experience

Loved it. I definitely learned a lot in the chocolate tour. Horseback riding was fun and the horses are so smart. My horse wanted to lead everyone including the tour guide. Great time.
