Amazing experience - Our guide Diego was super nice and helpful in all aspects of the tour including sharing fun facts, making sure everyone stuck together, answering all questions, and giving recommendations. Also took super great pictures and made sure we got the best experience possible. My friends and I had such a great time seeing the beautiful sights and enjoying the beaches and the short hikes in between. Wish we could stay in such a gorgeous place forever.

A "B+" experience, but more than advertised - It's a little more than advertised. It's a full day. Couple mile hike on a slightly sketchy path. Beaches weren't exactly "remote." With all that said, I'd still recommend it. Just know it's an all-day adventure so wear a hat and be up for the journey.

Juan is the best ! - A very nice tour, where you get to experience 6 golden beaches on Costa Corrientes. The meeting point is next to OXXO in the centre of PV( stated pretty clear in the ticket you receive). Have plenty of water ( I needed 1.5 l) , reef safe sunscreen, light long sleeves shirt, a hat and water shoes with you. You will ride a local bus to Boca Tomatlan( free) and from there you take a boat ( free) to Playa Colomitos. Small and quaint, with a golden beach and clear water. After 30 min you will start to hike to the 2nd beach : Madagascar. A little bit bigger than the 1st one, and as pretty, with the big stones scattered on the beach. You will only pass by Playa La Troza and then stop again for coconut and refreshments( must pay ) at the fourth one . The last stop is at Las Animas Beach. This is a big beach, full with restaurants and people. Boats come and leave from here all the time. We had lunch at Abelardo’s. Food and service was great, but be aware they add 15% to your bill. Kinda rude , they should ask first if that’s ok, or they should leave it up to the patrons to choose the tips %. Juan was an awesome guide, always helping and asking if we need anything. Very polite and humble human. He did the hike barefoot lol. The people in water shoes could feel the rocks under their feet ( I wore sneakers, so I was fine). We left around 4,30 pm by boat and then by local Bus( ended in the same place we left from). O hope you get Juan and if you do, take care of him. He hiked with us on a very hot day and he was going to do it again the next day. So brave! 200% thumbs up Juan, you rock!

Day trip to hidden beaches - We took a boat trip and this tour as well to see some of the harder to access beaches in Puerto. I recommend taking this one for not only the cost but the personalization of the trip. Our group size was five and our tour guide Alex was an amazing guide who explained to us the wildlife and nature through out the tour. The hike is easy to moderate and has stunning views the entire way. Highly recommend!

Good way to experience... - Good way to experience local, slightly urbanized, wilderness. Can be done in flip-flops. If you wear sneakers, be prepared to take them off and put back on multiple times with feet covered in sand.

Fully recommended. Juan Carlos, an exceptional guide. - It was a very pleasant tour and experience. Both the walks and the views and especially the beaches were lovely. Juan Carlos did a great job. With the best attitude and attentions. Always with a smile and good spirits. As a hike (hiking) ES a minimum difficulty but it will be better if you go prepared for that, a hike POR the low mountains (suitable shoes, water, cap or something for the sun, blocker, etc.) Highly recommended!

Hiking day and beautiful beaches. - We loved the hike! Beautiful beaches and snorkeling EN super cute colonies. Although the water was NO longer so clear, we managed to see several very colorful fish. Virtually all the cami ES marked and it is not particular EN you difficult but most of our group were NO suitable shoes and were NO prepared to walk so it is seen that it cost them some DE work. Our guide Juan was very attentive and patient.
