“Didn't like this excursion. It was my son's birthday. Once arrived, no smile from the guy. We look like a pack of herd for them (money making only). The guy basically EXPECTED us to pay for the locker, etc. They gave us a hard time for our PROMISED water bottle at the end. I had to show them a screenshot of it. The restaurant waiter EXPECTED tip when the service wasn't good. All in all, it was horrible. I had to sit behind the guy on the ATV ride. Of course I didn't buy my picture because he's in it. I bought my husband and son's picture on the ATV.…”

“A really fun time ziplining at Costa Azul. Pickup was a breeze in a shared shuttle. The actual experience was really fun, Matias and crew made lots of jokes and generally made it fun. My only wish was that we could go faster on the ziplines. :) But everyone gave great instruction, was super helpful. Rappelling at the end was pretty excellent, the food and drinks at the end were good, tequila tasting was a bonus! Just be advised that there is a bit of hiking uphill involved. Everything is clearly marked and they do have a couple of water stations, but if it's a hot day, just drink a…”

“Selbst 1 Stern ist zu viel! Wir sind die Reise nicht angetreten aufgrund dessen, dass es meiner Freundin sehr schlecht ging. Der Guide bat uns an die Tour um einen Tag zu verschieben, dies nahmen wir dankend an. Als wir dann die neue Uhrzeit abends besprechen wollten meinte er, er würde jetzt nochmals 240€ für uns 4 Personen erhalten wollen. Das heißt der Ausflug hätte uns zu 4. 580€ gekostet dadurch das er nochmals einen Aufschlag von über 70% von uns wollte. Er hat uns vorher nicht einmal drauf hingewiesen. Für uns schreit dies nach Abzocke!!! Somit ist diese Tour nicht zu empfehlen…”
