“Know what you're signing up for!! This experience can be very uncomfortable if you're not prepared for it. There was nothing luxurious about this adventure. Bare-bone sleeping spaces, minimal and cold water for showers, electricity available just a few hours per day, absolutely no cell service or wifi available. That's what I was imagining when I booked this tour, and that's exactly what it was. An absolute amazing time. Luckily I got along really well with the group of travelers I was with, which made a huge difference. Sometimes the food was a bit sketchy but the staff did everything they could to make the experience better. Keep in mind,…”

“Really enjoyed the Adventure Hike, lots of pros with only a few cons, see below breakdown of the 4 days (I travelled early June 2024), some tips and a packing list of what to take. Day 1, Bike and Raft: Bike was great fun, very easy/beginner friendly as mostly downhill but get to pick up some speed while catching the views. Rafting was excellent with a few decent rapids. Accommodation was terrible, very basic shared hostel with only cold water shower (not ideal after rafting), food was average but didn't go hungry. Day 2, Hike: I'd class myself intermediate hiker and I found it pretty easy, there's a few hills…”
