Be Aware - This experience although wonderful a lot needed clarifier. Research had to be done to see if you were on a boat. It did not mention you would be gone from 630 am till 830 pm. Lunch was not until 330. the resort did not open for breakfast till 7 am. so no food until 330 pm. Also horseback riding was mandatory. This needs to be mentioned. The horseback ride was dicey and the walk to the waterfall was dangerous. it is not meant for anyone with medical issues. The people who let the horses wanted 55 for a tip. We had no clue this was apart of the tour. please clarify. a lot of money is spent on excursions . due to lack of details we were approached and got a little scarey because between the boat the island the drivers to horseback riding the photos they were made since we didn't bring a lot of cash. We read whale watching and waterfalls. Several people thought the same thing.
