Kayaking was a lot of fun and offered great views of the lake and also the beautiful homes along the lake. Fernán was an awesome guide, really funny and informative. We opted for a trip to San Juan for the second half of the day and it was awesome to see the textiles, bee farm, and chocolate museum.
Perfect first day

It was our first day in Panajachel and we had a blast with Diego. We picked the full day kayak and hike and we weren’t disappointed. We even got to go cliff jumping! Diego took great pictures of us and we never felt rushed.

We had the best time on this tour! We lucked out with an amazing guide, Fernando. He helped us with transportation from Santa Catalina to Pana when our hotel was not helpful. From there, he was so flexible with how we wanted the tour to look and was the perfect level of engagement with us throughout the tour. We did the longer kayak and hike option and it was definitely rigorous but doable. It was amazing views and got to cliff jump along the way. Highly recommend!
Mario was the best!

Our guide, Edvin, was very kind and accomodating. He was also very knowladeble and shared all kind of information abour Lake Atitlan and the Mayan culture. He was flexible according to our need. The tour itself is a lot of fun and varied, with hiking, kayaking, visting of a village and lunch at another village. The facilities at his base are very comfortamble and has a terrific view of the lake
