You could tell he genuinely enjoyed his job and wanted to provide the best quality experience he could. Our jungle guide Alan was also awesome. He carried a speaker throughout the jungle and even helped me get out of my comfort zone by going upside down on one of the zip lines. The entire experience was well worth the money. Make sure you bring cash to tip your driver and tour guide, they really appreciate it. You won’t regret booking. 10/10. Thank you!!!!”

There's controversy on whether you should take insurance or not but we felt we did not want to be liable for anything and $25 per vehicle seemed an acceptable amount to not be in debt here in Mexico. The ride was so so very fun. They really gave you some time to get used to the machine and then you got to go super…”
