Not even close to where he threw the food! The masks where filthy with dirt and I was afraid to put the mouth piece in my mouth! This was booked because my husband is skeptical of the water so we thought a beach excursion would be a good first experience...WRONG! Truly disappointed that this came off the way it did, I was hoping for a positive breathtaking first experience…”

Then a drive to the ranch. After arriving your guide will take you on an ATV to the trail head. Our guide Pablo took his time to tell us about all the different cactus in the area. We were even lucky enough to get to try the Pitaya fruit! The hike its self isn’t very difficult but does offer mixed terrain. A pair of good walking shoes should be fine.…”
