Amazing Tour - What an experience! Both my parents are from this beautiful island, but I was born in the mainland and never made it here until now. This tour is a must do when visiting Guam! My family, including two teenage boys, loved this tour. We arrived early in the valley with time to spare. After checking in, we had a long conversation with a man who turned out to be the captain of our boat! He pointed out local trees and even took us to see some turtles from the bridge across the street before our tour even began. We boarded a large boat and set off upstream. Our first stop was an ancient chamorro village site where they welcomed us with song and dance. We learned all about coconuts, the native trees and flowers and their uses, as well as the thousand year old latte stones and their purpose. We even learned some chamorro words during the demonstration. We had time to take pictures and enjoy the scenery before boarding the boat again to go further upstream. We stopped to see the riverbanks, coconut crabs and catfish. Then we stopped at another site where we saw how they made sea salt and coconut oil. We also got to try our hand at weaving using bamboo leaves. Our boys got to choose an item that was weaved by a local weaver to take home as souvenirs! There were some local goats and deer as well as a karabao at this site, which we got to have a short ride on. There was another demonstration where they showed us how ancient Chamorros built fires using the local wood and coconut husks. Lunch was catered by a local company and was great. We had bbq chicken and ribs along with red rice, finadene, spinach, and banana. The trip ended with a boat ride back and shaved ice from the gift shop. This is truly a memorable family adventure you don’t want to miss!

Excellent Adventure - We were visiting family on Guam. They mentioned that they had not experienced this yet. We decided to drive on over. It was worth the time and money. Pineapple Ben, the Captain and Center did a fantastic job! Appreciate the lessons of history, botany, and more. Great cultural experience. Lunch was delicious. Try be three kids, 7-11, had fun seeing the animals, fire starting, exploring the countryside. The parking was a bit tight. Know that it can crowded and you may have to park on the highway and walk in. The ground is not flat. You will be walking on various surfaces. We all wished the boat ride was longer. Not negative at all. Just letting folks know before they go. Incredible to see so many staff speak multiple languages and sign language. Very cool! Glad we went.

Valley of the Latte Tour - 5***** Valley of the Latte tour Our experience with pineapple Ben, young Mr. Duenas (sorry forgot his name) and the Captain made this experience extremely memorable. I am of Chamorro descent, but have lived stateside since the age of 6. During the visit, we have explored WWII history, revisited the south end of the island where my family comes from, and “The Valley of the Latte”, brought me back to ancient days, the language, the culture 🤗. Extremely interesting, fun, our guides were entertaining and funny. I especially loved the information on how our ancestors lived in the villages, and the tales of our ancient ancestors. Thank you!! Well worth the experience!!!

Jungle cruises that are fun in the rainy season - The view of the jungle is amazing! I even met crabs and catfish! If you like cultural experiences, it is fun to experience Chamorro life.

Great for the kids! - This cruise, without a doubt was a success for my son, his wife and 2 children (ages 9/7). Aside from my son visiting Guam when he was much younger, it was the first visit for his wife and children. The children were truly engaged and intrigued with the local stories, crafts and food. It was quite pleasant to watch them interact with the tour guide, presenters and staff. I personally enjoyed it all, but my favorite was the gift shop packed with local arts and crafts. It was a challenge trying to decide which to buy so ended up buying 2. My grandchildren enjoyed the fresh cut up watermelon also. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get a true interactive glimpse of the island culture. We all agree we would definitely take the tour again.

Must do, even for locals! - I grew up in Guam but have since moved away. I came back to visit family after 17 years and did the jungle boat cruise with my children and some friends and we all had an amazing time! Miss Rosie was a sweet, informatice and patient tour guide and Pineapple Ben was hilarious. The lunch was delicious. We enjoyed every minute.
