Had an amazing time. From a fishing charter, to the semi-sub and zip line. Amazing food and not too crowded. Got some great gifts amd swam off the beach. Be prepared to spend some money though, our meals ranged from 100-200 with drinks. Not even coffee at hotel Atwater was free. Expensive but fun

Fun activity and well worth the money. Kyler and Jesse were professional and at the same time entertaining and hilarious. Any concerns about safety were immediately put to rest. They have multiple redundant safety features in place and do a 10 point safety check on each line.

It was an amazing experience. Wish it were longer. 6 lines total! Our tour guides were Matt S and Jack B. They both were hilarious, making the experience even more memorable. They both gave instructions clearly and thoroughly. Definitely will be back! Thank you.

There are five zip-lines. Some with views of the ocean, others with the trees and plant life. With beautiful views. All the guys are extremely friendly, respectful, and make you feel at ease throughout the entire experience. I witnessed the group in front of us as well as our group. Our guides were stellar! They were very thorough, knowledgeable, courteous, respectful, humorous, and helpful. I forgot to mention extremely brave.

Wow, what an experience! Huge shoutout to the staff members Jena and Kaden for making our zip-line tour unforgettable. Easily the GOATs! Jena had the patience of a saint, the energy of a game show host, and I’m pretty sure she could guide people through the wilderness blindfolded with one hand tied behind her back. Also had a few dance moves straight out of the 70s… unc status 😂 (just kidding). Kaden my man! Super chill and made everything feel flawless. Swear nothing could faze this guy. Lowkey convinced he’s secretly a millionaire with the money advice he was giving me. Credit score went up a few points just from listening. Don’t let him fool you! But jokes aside, both Kaden and Jena were absolutely phenomenal guides. From start to finish they were knowledgeable, professional, and made safety feel like the top priority every second of the experience. They made sure we were comfortable, confident, and genuinely having fun the whole time. Honestly, the patience, energy, and attention to detail were unreal. They didn’t just guide the tour—they elevated the whole experience into something memorable. Worth every penny and highly recommend! Thank you for making the most of this experience and really enjoyable.
