Peaceful River tubing in Palomino - Our guide arranged for the pick-up from our hotel, a jeep brought us as far as possible and then we walked for 25 mn in the forest before reaching the river. We then went down the river for 2 hours. Our guide, Davide, was very friendly and indicated spots where kids could jump off and swim. The river is very safe and it was a very peaceful experience.

Nice excursion, strong recommendation - Well organized trip to Palomino River. Absolutely relaxing to flotar till the river opening in the sea. Experienced guide explained a lot about fauna and flora and the development of the region since discovery by tourism twenty years ago.

Tubing in Palomino - We loved our tours in Palomino. We did two with the same company. The tubing is really relaxing and fun. The walk does have an incline so it may be difficult to do for those with disabilities but we would happily book a tour again with Eliecer David he took such good care of us and Luis kept us updated via WhatsApp regarding our tours.

Fantastic day at the river - Beautiful scenery and a cool water river made this whole activity an enjoyable experience. From the moment we reserved the tour operator made sure we knew what was going on and informed us not just about the nature we were seeing, but also the culture of the local people, and nearby indigenous tribes. The transport to and from the river was convenient and helpful, and the hike to the embarkation point made cooling off in the river all the more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Great fun and worth the money - Our tubing guide, David, was wonderful. Kind, careful and fun. The tubing bit was peaceful and relaxing. A few words of advice: it's a long day out (7am - 5.30pm) and having a Spanish speaker in your group would be helpful. An email with practical advice on what to bring, what to wear, schedule etc would have been appreciated. We were quite confused at times as to what was going on! Also be warned, the trip involves mototaxis which are exhilarating but not for the nervous traveller! Overall a great day out!

Relaxing 90 minutes in the tube - The tubing was great and very relaxing 90 min. The 35 min hike was ok, but it was more of a mission to get to the river than anything else.
