Nice hike into the rain forest - Pleasant rain forest hike, nicely maintained trail. Moderate level of difficulty. Guide was excellent, pointed out flora and fauna. No issues with the shuttle pick up and drop off. We ended up being the only 2 hikers being picked up, which made for a nice private tour. We did, however, have to pay an extra 24USD total for the shuttle because there were no other passengers. But we were made aware of this possibility when we booked. The hike took a bit over 2 hours, including stops to look at plants pointed out by the guide. Note that although the trail climbs about 850 ft. there are no viewpoints since the area is heavily forested.

Not as advertised, beautiful although strenuous! - If you are looking for a relaxing walk through the rainforest with the opportunity to learn about native plants and see a few birds this is NOT the excursion for you. It was a very steep hike (gaining 1000 feet in elevation) mostly up uneven steps to a viewpoint which didn’t even have a great view. The group size was 16 not the max of 10, as advertised. The guide was knowledgeable and pleasant although the actual tour was not what we expected.
