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.”

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.…”
