Must do! - Amazing short activity to Los Arcos islands. Stinning views and very nice staff. We were lucky to see plenty of fish and even whales. Must do!

Family Fun - The area they’re located in is stunning. They were able to accommodate our party of 17 which we greatly appreciated. The tour itself was good. Shorter than anticipated but we still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The snorkelling was fun. Santiago and Giullermo were excellent guides. Would 100% recommend! Definitely do this again if we come back.

Good family trip with older kids - We met at Mismaloya Beach. Location was easy to find, we left most belongings (towels, shoes, etc) behind. Our guides answered questions was full of energy and pleasant. We could have used a little more direction regarding the plan. Life jackets were mostly adult size and not suitable for a young child. The water was also a bit choppy so my 6yo niece ended up not snorkeling. My 10yo who is a stronger swimmer enjoyed it. We had the boat to ourselves (10 people) and the trip was about an hour.

Very friendly and helpful... - Very friendly and helpful guides, and beautiful scenery on the boat tour, we even saw wales! There was not as much to see for the snorkeling portion, but I think it was just this time of year, with choppy waters. Still a great tour, and would definitely recommend 😊

Poor Instructions on meeting places - 5 STARS TO THE ZIPLINE GUYS AT LOS VERANOS, they were professional and really cared for our safety and fun level. Not sure about keeping all those cage wild life just to amuse tourists. We followed the instructions on The Viator ticket on where to meet but it was all wrong. We tried to salvage this activity by spending $75 (Taxi driver refused to give us change)on Uber and Taxis trying to get to the right place. WHY DIDN’T VIATOR GIVE US THE CORRECT MEETING PLACE??? We finally arrived at Los Veranos and WE ONLY ZIPLINED. The descriptions of the activities like the tequila tasting, speedboat, blah blah did not happen. WOW! $229 just to go zipling. Next time I’ll book directly with the operator.
