Gorgeous! - The hike was so beautiful, I brought my younger sister with me and Carlos, the guide, was super accommodating and waited for us. The view was gorgeous, and the tour guide offered a lot of information about the surrounding environment. This is my second time taking a tour with them and I will definitely be back!!

Worth it!! Allows you to experience beauty outside of PV! - Personalized tour that allows you to enjoy the beauty outside of PV. Helped us learn how to navigate the public bus and a water taxi. We loved it!! Some of the most beautiful landscapes you’ll ever see. And Isaac was informative and not trying to sell us anything extra. Lovely day well spent! Was great for whole family, ages 9, 14, 18, 43, 44.

Overall an excellent experience and our guide Isaac was awesome! - The excursion started at 9:30am at the meeting point and we got back to the meeting point at around 4:30pm so the duration of the entire thing was about 7 hours. Brief overview of how it goes, you get to the meeting point in front of an Oxxo and your guide for the day will meet you there. Then, you get on a local bus together that takes you to a place called Boca de Tomatlan. From there, your guide will arrange for a water taxi to take you on a short speedboat ride (about 15 min) to Quimixto. From there, you walk through the small town and then start your hike. The hike itself was about 30 -45 min depending on your pace. My mom is a bit older and Isaac was very kind in keeping a slow pace and waiting whenver she needed a break. The trail is easy to walk on and not rocky at all with intermittent parts of moderate incline. You can also opt to ride a horse there and back for 200 pesos, also to be aware of, if you decide to get a horse just on the way down, it is the same price. Towards the end, you do have to take off your shoes to cross a creek so be prepared to get your feet wet. The destination has a gorgeous medium sized waterfall that you can swim in. There is also a rope along the rocky cliff that you can climb to cliff jump into the pool. There is a family that lives there and has set up tables and chairs for you to sit and enjoy the scene and the unsaid courtesy is to just order a drink while you're there. After some time, we hiked back down and got back into a water taxi and they took us to Las Animas which is a beach. We ate at a restaurant there and after eating, we made our way back to the meeting point. Our guide Isaac was on time, incredibly friendly, and taught us about the locals. He was extremely accomodating with us, especially since my mom has bad knees and struggled a bit on the hike. Overall, I would recommend this excursion and felt like it was well worth the money.

Amazing experience, highly recommend! - Carlos and Isaac were absolutely amazing guides! Very patient, friendly and fun to talk to! We had a great time on this hike. Myself, my wife and my mother-in-law all loved it. The hike was through a very cool area, a mix of a small town and the jungle l. Swimming in this beautiful waterfall was so much fun. Finishing with a very delicious seafood lunch on a beautiful beach was a great way to finish the day as well. We highly recommend this!

Poor substitution of canceled trip - Canceled our Quimixto hike and took us by city bus to another waterfall that was an hour hike through thick jungle with boulders and crossing a river at least 3 times - poor trip

Rock climbing - This was a very intense hike unlike how they described this. You walked through branches and huge rocks and had to climb over very wet paths. The boat ride was non existent. I had such a hard time climbing these huge rocks and tree branches that I refused to go any further & had to have the guide help me back to the road to get a taxi back to my hotel. It was very scary & unsafe to me. This is not a safe hike to do.
