“We had a great time on this excursion. Very friendly staff. Easy to find the pick up location off of the cruise ship. Great driver who took us to and from the excursion. He even gave us an extra tour or Mazatlan which was really nice on our way back. The only comment I would have is, it's not really a jungle, but it probably was more 'jungly' at some point in time, but a little more dry. The ocean is beautiful. Food was great too.”

Enjoy machaca burritos, beans, tortillas, and mezcal flambée cheese before visiting the family gallery, pool, rabbit enclosure, and mezcal factory.

“Fantastic! We were picked up from our hotel along with others from theirs. The drive was around 1 hr & 15 minutes to the place. We did the ATV for about an hr and a half and ziplining for about the same. Everyone leading the tours knew what they were doing and explained how to do said activity very well. The food was delicious! We had a blast and certainly felt the workout of the activities afterward. Definitely recommend staying well hydrated, bring a big bottle of water with you. They provide you with a standard size one, but you can go through that quick while climbing/hiking for the ziplining.…”

Also would have liked to know more about the mescal production and try a few small samples. Other than that most enjoyable.”

He greeted us with cold water, soda, and cervesas, and explained the plan for the day. Then he helped load us into the open air truck, and we were on our way! He took his time stopping at multiple beautiful vistas, and explained the history and fun facts along the way. We were able to stop at the Cathedral and shop around for as long…”
