Not what we paid for

Jamie_G, May 2024

There is no wildlife center or Eagle sanctuary. This is false advertising as the rescue portion was closed down over a year ago. We did not get a tasting of salmon or anything else. We walked for 1.5 hours through a privately owned rain forest to learn about the flora and fauna (literally). He was very knowledgeable and was the only hood part of the trip. There was no wildlife and of course a gift shop area at the end of the walk with shopping, a blacksmith, and a bar. What we paid was extremely expensive for just getting the tour through the rainforest. No eagles, no wildlife at all. They even changed the name of the tour on our tickets to something that cost less because the items advertised here are no longer offered.

Beautiful

We had an excellent time. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative. I would recommend this tour to others

Too expensive

Even though the guided educational walk through the rain forest was very good (excellent in fact) and our guide, Angie was awesome, the price of this excursion was excessive-we saw 4 rescued birds and 1 wild eagle.
