Amazing Tour! - This was such an amazing tour! The highlight was definitely the Tamanique Waterfalls. It was so refreshing swimming after an intense hike. I went alone on this excursion, but Francis and Fredy made sure I was comfortable. Francis was such a great, friendly tour guide and I highly recommend! He was patient and didn’t ever make me rush the hike. He was very knowledgeable about fun facts about wildlife. Fredy joined us a an extra guide for the hike, but he was great as well. He took the best pics at the waterfalls! Visiting El Tunco was great as well! I recommend everyone to bring water shoes to swim because the rocks were painful to walk on.

Best part of our El Salvador Vacation - Our Tamanique trip was amazing. We’re both moderately in shape and the hike was great exercise. We went during the rainy season so highly recommended some type of hiking boot as well as water shoes. Our tour guide Josue was AMAZING. Very knowledgeable about the history of El Salvador. Was patient with my wife when she needed to rest and made sure we were safe at all times. And he took the best photos. Overall, we had a great time and highly recommend this excursion, especially if you’re adventurous and enjoy the outdoors.

So Much Fun! - I really enjoy going on these types of trips, the guides are so knowledgeable about the local community, the hiking part, the specifics about what is going on that day. The trips are super comfortable as you're picked up and dropped of in a nice van, you're transported with like-minded people looking for an adventure and it's just well put together. The hike to the waterfalls isn't difficult, it is a bit muddy because it's the rainy season, but not bad at all. The waterfalls are GORGEOUS and just stunning to look at. The lunch was delicious, the food was beyond tasty as you overlook the beach and just enjoy everyone's company. It's truly an amazing trip!

Surf City Playa El Tunco - Surf City Playa El Tunco is a place that deserves several comments. El Tunco Beach is not the best beach, its sands are dark which makes the sea look dark. Restaurants: a lot of variety, mostly beautiful and variety on the menu. Their prices are good. The boulevard is very very beautiful, colorful, happy, friendly people. You feel a lot of personal security.

This experiences well worth having. - guide were very friendly I wish we had more time to spend at the large waterfall. Only one of the waterfalls was really worth seeing the other two were very small. I wouldn't call them waterfalls I'd call them a little trickle of water. 🙃
