The guides were very informative, kind, and made the day memorable. We not only got to go to the beach, but made many stops along the way and saw beautiful views. The beach was amazing, and the whole day was an incredible experience.

Pickup on time in a clean comfortable van. Long ride out, but its good to leave the driving to the professionals. Nice simple typical breakfast and fantastic late lunch was served. Our guide Jacico was professional and gave us plenty of instruction. Pack sunscreen, reuse-able water bottle, towel, change of clothes, and a hat. It’s a hot and humid hike, so come hydrated. I came wearing my bathing suit and an ol throwaway shirt. The park is amazing. Recommend
