Best experience of our trip! - We had a communication blip on starting location as the location didn’t match the text communications. We thought we had hotel pickup and Wave thought we were meeting there. It ultimately was just an unfortunate miscommunication and we missed the morning departure for Zip-lining. Wave worked hard to rearrange our day to ensure we could still experience both. They were very accommodating and this entire experience ended up being the highlight of our trip! We had a blast experiencing the rapids with our guide Kervin. He was fun and very personable. We would highly recommend their company and use them again. Because we had to shift our time, we had to make it back for zip-lining by 3p. Wave coordinated an alternative lunch and got us delicious boxed lunches. We made it to Go Adventure and enjoyed a fun experience zip-lining! The guides were phenomenal and our 8 year old was very attached to his guide that travelled the lines with him! He was nervous at first but his guide made him feel so comfortable and he LOVED the experience. We were so grateful to both companies and the guides. This will definitely be an experience we’ll reflect fondly on and cherish memories from forever. Thank you!!

Highly recommend for white water rafting - The company picked us up from our resort and dropped us off. The rafting experience was a blast!!! We stopped for fresh fruit mid trip. After rafting we had a delicious lunch. They gave us towels and drinks. Great company, great experience!

Best experience ever! - Amazing experience, the whole crew was great, especially our driver Felix, guide Jairo and our rafting instructor Jagenis! He made our boat the most fun boat on the river, making us laugh and entertaining our crazyness while also making the experience super safe! The food was unexpectedly one of the best part of the day, as it was cooked locally at a farm to table restaurant! I would recommend booking both activities with no hesitation, we definitely got our money’s worth! :)

This tour was an amazing... - This tour was an amazing experience. As someone who is afraid of both heights and water due to not being a strong swimmer, I was nervous going in, but I would absolutely recommend it. The scenery throughout the tour was stunning.
The ziplining portion did feel a bit rushed, and the photo and video package for ziplining wasn’t worth the cost. However the rafting portion was incredible and truly the highlight of the day. Our guide Moi/Moises was absolutely amazing, full of energy, incredibly enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. He even pointed out wildlife along the way and let us take turns riding in the front like a bull, which was such a fun touch. He is truly a gem and I highly recommend requesting him if possible. The rafting photos were high quality, beautiful, and definitely worth purchasing.

Highly recommend river rafting, would look elsewhere for zipling. Still an amazing and thrilling experience though! - I will split the activities in my review. Ill start with the ziplining which I would honestly give a 3/5 stars. Although it was an extremely thrilling experience with a good staff and amazing views while you zipline, I give it a 3/5 because of the way they have you set up for the zipline. For whatever reason, you are given whats basically like a leather mitt for one of your hands. You use it behind your head to hold the line down if you need to break. You are supposed to hold it lightly if you do not want to break and get stuck on the line. On the 2nd zipline, I held on with my leather mitt too lightly I suppose because I did not want to break and slow down. Due to that, I lost grip and when I tried putting my hand back on the zipline, I got an abasion/burn that has still not faded almost 2 weeks later. Also, due to me struggling to put my hand back on, it slowed me down which caused me to not make it all the way to the platform on the longest zipline of the day. I had to turn my body around and pull myself in which wasn't a huge deal but it was not extremely easy to do. When I reached the platform, the guide assumed I slowed down on purpose and told me not to slow down which I did not appreciate. Although this act is not anyones fault on the staff, I would look into a different ziplining tour that allows you to normally put both hands in front of you. I saw pictures of other companies that have that easier set up. Now for the river rafting tour, I would give that one a 5/5 stars. It is an hour drive to the river after ziplining which I did not love but also not a huge deal. The rafting is a great level of fun for all ages since its class 2 and 3s. I am experienced with class 4s so this was a very easy and fun river to go down but you also get plenty wet during the event which is nice. My guide, Christopher, is a great guide and very knowledgeable of the event and also just provides a good time for everyone. I would note that lunch is not until after ziplining and river rafting so be aware of that. They give you fresh fruit on the river which is so amazing. I would definitely recommend this tour. My total review is getting 4/5 stars because the river rafting tour is a 5/5 and its also nice to have easy transportation between both activities since you are booking a package tour.

Combo adventures just need better planning - The tour guides for both the rafting and the ziplines were great!! There was just some communication gaps in between the two companies so that we waited around for 45 minutes in the parking lot between activities with no updates. And no information about whether to take stuff with us or leave it in the lockers at the office. I would still recommend the tour just be prepared for a little chaos.

Fun activities, a little chaotic organization - Activities were very fun and safe on site and well organized. Unfortunately, I was forgotten when I was picked up in the morning. Therefore, I was not part of the group until and had no information about the process, places, meeting places. In the end, everything worked out on demand, but I didn't feel well taken care of.
