Wow what an adventure!!! Started our day off by being picked up in a jeep around 9am. It was only my mom and me on this tour even though it is not private. So we got the amazing miss Laurna tour guide all to ourselves, along with the best driver (unfortunately never got his name).
With sitting in the back of a jeep and being exposed to the sun 99% of the time, I was so concerned I would get sunburnt. But applying sunscreen regularly and drinking the water they supplied saved me. Anyways, the ride was absolutely stunning but could be long for some people. Getting to see views and the culture from outside vs seeing them through a car window was everything. (Staying at a resort and not renting a car, we didn’t get to experience views & culture as much as we did on this tour!!)
Once we arrived at Treetop Adventure Park, we quickly got our gear on and paid 5usd fee to hold our belonging in a locker. After the tour, they give you the 5usd back. My mom was only able to do 6 lines due to the intensity of walking up platforms and sweating immensely. There are many stops along the way to rehydrate thankfully. This tour kicks your ass! Im 25yrs old, workout 3-4x a week, and by the end of zip lining I was exhausted and very overheated. Lunch was included but I couldn’t eat due to feeling overheated.
While my mom was waiting for me to complete the lines, she met a local man who sells 100% organic coconut oil. We got a whole bottle and absolutely love this stuff with its many many benefits. The tour guide also picked us fresh wax apples to try in the rainforest.
After zip lining, we made our way to the waterfall. The drive was not far, and the hike to the waterfall wasn’t bad at all. There’s some incline at one point. The waterfall was so magnificent and no one else was there! Barely any water flowed as it is the dry season, but that didn’t matter to us. They say it is gushing water in the rainy season!
Overall give this tour 15/10 stars. The zipline tour by itself is about 90.00/person, so why not upgrade for a little more and get yourself an adventure of a lifetime?!
