5.00He had such a great time. Everyone was so nice, we enjoyed the massage, run punch, and the mini photoshoot, with my son playing of our choice. We would do it again as long as we have the best tour guide Patrick!
Great excursion!

4.00This was a great excursion. Owen was on time and provided great commentary on the countryside as we traveled. The bamboo rafting was fun and relaxing. The stop at Margaritaville was very lively! And Rick’s cafe had amazing views. It was a day well spent. My only negative was that Owen drove a bit fast at times and swerved quite a bit which left me with a headache. Other than the erratic driving, I’d highly recommend this excursion.
Amazing!!

5.00Foot massage was Awesome! Our guides Dylan was very attentive and knowledgeable of the River and its history. My only complaint was river rafting was too short but worth it. Best rum punch I’ve ever had!
