Amazing experience! - The hike was easy. Making it perfect for families, experienced hikers, etc. I especially appreciated the shaded areas of the hike. The water was clear, perfect to swim in. Don’t forget to bring good hiking shoes, plenty of water, a camera! This is a must-visit for anyone who loves nature and wants to experience the beauty of Palo Maria. I can’t wait to come back!

Must Do Adventure - Wow wow wow! Isaac was an EXCEPTIONAL guide - he knew so much about the various plants and insects. The hike was magical - not too difficult - and we saw a whole new area of Puerta Vallarta. Our family would give 10 stars if we could.

Waterfall Hike with Zach - Our guide, Zach, was very chill and spoke English well. Also tried to help me practice my spanish. The hike itself was easy but could be challenging for some people. BRING WATER SHOES OR SANDALS. The spiders were huge. I recommend being brave and jumping off the rocks! It is safe. On the way back Zach took us up a steep, long set of stairs to a beautiful overlook.

Life Changing Jungle Hike - Three of us (three late 20 year olds) did the experience with Juan, and Juan was the best/sweetest/well educated guide ever!! He took us on a hike that was more rigorous than expected, but it was the best adventure. The waterfall was the most beautiful/life changing experience.

Great Hike to a Stunning Waterfall - I have to hand it to our guide, Rocco, and the company itself, because when we got to the meeting spot, we found out we were the only ones on the hike, and they were still accommodating to us and brought us on our tour. Rocco was an amazing guide who told us all about the area and pointed out various plants and animals all along the way. The waterfall was wonderful; very cool and refreshing, and so nice after the hike. Speaking of, the hike itself does go through streams and over rocks, so be aware of that if you're not the best hiker. We had a fantastic time though, and would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to get some time in the jungle.

Amazing first day nature hike! - This was the perfect way to spend our first morning in Puerto Vallarta! Carlos made just feel comfortable and safe from the beginning. He is really knowledgeable of the area and a really fun tour guy. We are lucky to have booked with him.

Bring shoes that can get wet - It was a little more technical than I was expecting. Normally would not be a problem, but I was dealing with plantar fasciitis at the time. Also, I was not prepared for walking through the river (probably my fault for not reading through everything?) so, we had to take off shoes and put them back on multiple times, so just wear the right kind so you can just get them wet (I wore my nice hiking shoes and orthotics 🥴.) Oscar was awesome! He helped me with the climbing over rocks and walking barefoot. Super nice, too! The waterfall area was a little crowded with locals, even though we went on a weekday.
