Great experience with Daniel - We did the Le Leona waterfall and river tubing excursion with Daniel this week and it was amazing. Daniel was so knowledgeable about the area and made us feel very safe and comfortable. The hike was a very unique and fun experience and so much better with a personal guide. He took us to a great spot for lunch. We would definitely book another trip with Daniel.
