5.00The very friendly guide. The very father ñ experience, luncheon and cheves very rich. The only thing is that it didn't look like in the pictures because the rains just started. But he was still very much a father. We'll have to come back in a few months to do it with more water. Hehe

4.00Christian was a very capable and friendly guide, and we enjoyed the tour. He worked hard to accommodate our preferences and make it a fun day. It was dry season, so there was a lot more just walking through water than the floating I expected from the tour description and photos. Maybe there should be a separate description and pictures for the experience in dry versus wet season. The unsung hero of the tour was the lunch afterward. Christian takes you to a woman’s home where she has prepared a delicious home-cooked meal (she even accommodated my vegetarian diet) and you get a little taste for what life is like in the indigenous community that hosts this river. You would never experience this without a tour guide like Christian who knows the community.
Needs more water in the stream

4.00In the dry season the stream is not flowing normally. There are many pools of water and you can swim or wade through them. It was fun, but a little disappointing to find out on the drive there.
Would be way more fun during the rainy season 😃

3.00The pictures online are not accurate for the seasons that are not rainy. We just took this tour in February and their was one cliff jump spot at the beginning and the rest was walking through the dry riverbed with occasional small pools to sit in to cool off. The lunch at the end was amazing and an experience to see a small town in Mexico and how the people live in the small towns. Our guide was nice and educational but don’t expect to need to wear a life jacket or be floating down the river or repelling unless maybe during the rainy season.
Christian is an excellent...

5.00Christian is an excellent guide; we thoroughly enjoyed the tour.. the 2km trek through the canyon river as well as the lunch that followed at the home of his friend in the small nearby Mexican community. A Huatulco tour not to be missed; we highly recommend! Joanne and Nick
