Absolutely awesome. Did it at the end of our trip after a bunch of other adventures and this was our favorite. We wished we had time to go a second round! You will not regret this.

Alba and Shauna were the best and true professionals. We went rappelling with my husband, without any previous experience and I was nervous at the beginning but with their guidance I felt safe and we had a great fun! Absolutely recommend to everyone who seeks an adventure in Maui.

Quite possibly the most fun adventure my wife and I have experienced! Repelled down the rocks right next to a waterfall! Not bad for an ordinary Tuesday! Shauna and Alba were the best guides, you are in good hands if you get these two!! It’s not everyday you get to swim in the pool of a waterfall! What an absolute joy:)

Alba and Deacon were the best guides ever!! We went on the group tour with my Dad who was visiting from the mainland and we all had such a blast. They made us all feel so comfortable. Their energy and patience couldn’t have been better! If you want a unique experience and enjoy waterfalls some never see, book with Rappel Maui. Worth every penny!!!

My wife and I came to Maui and decided to rappel with Rappel Maui - we had a blast!! Our guides were professional every step of the way, and their knowledge of the land and their humor along the way helped ease our nerves. This was our 1st time rappelling and if we're back on the island, we'd do it again!

My mom, dad, husband, and I went rappelling in Maui this past weekend, and I truly feel so blessed that we chose Repel Maui!
There are SO many different companies and adventure sites to choose from when you’re visiting Maui, and I’m especially grateful that we ended up with Repel Maui—and even more grateful that Shauna and Deacon were our guides. If you’re able to find out ahead of time who will be guiding your group, I would HIGHLY recommend asking for these two!
My mom is terrified of heights, and my husband isn’t a huge fan of them either, but Shauna and Deacon were incredibly comforting, knowledgeable, and reassuring. They took the time to explain the safety and the science behind rappelling, answered every question, and made everyone feel completely secure. They knew exactly when to encourage us to push through our nerves and when someone simply needed a little extra comfort.
Shauna was an absolute JOY. She had me laughing the entire time (and I know I wasn’t the only one!). She was so warm and personable from the moment we met. She remembered everyone’s names, made eye contact and connected with each person as they were rappelling down, gave incredibly clear directions, and somehow knew exactly what each person needed in the moment. You could tell she genuinely cared about our experience—not just getting us through the course.
And Deacon was just as wonderful! During the hike, he taught us about the different fruits and plants we were walking through, and even let us taste-test a few things. He was so kind, knowledgeable, and fun to be around.
By the end of the experience, I genuinely felt like Shauna and Deacon were friends rather than people we had just met that morning. 😂 I was actually sad that I wouldn’t be spending the rest of my Maui vacation with them!
If you’re looking for an adventure in Maui, I cannot recommend Repel Maui enough. The experience itself was incredible, but what truly made it unforgettable was the people. Shauna and Deacon made our family feel safe, encouraged, cared for, and—most importantly—like we were in really good hands.
And if you’re their bosses reading this… PLEASE GIVE THESE TWO A RAISE!!! 😂 They deserve it SO much. They are an absolute asset to Repel Maui, and we feel so lucky that we got to experience this adventure with them.
10/10 experience and easily one of the highlights of our Maui trip! 🌺🤙🏼

Elena and Shauna were the most amazing and compassionate guides! We were a large group of 8 (parents in our early 50's and kids ages 11-16), with confidence levels ranging from scared of heights to dare devils. They made each and every one of us feel safe, and encouraged us along the entire trip! They were funny, gave us so much information about the jungle around us as we hiked, and made sure we had the best time ever. I can't recommend this adventure enough! Truly a once in a lifetime experience that you will not be sorry you tried! Mahalo for making this one of our favorite memories on our trip!

We had the best time waterfall rappelling! It's a must when visiting Maui! Shanna and Mikaela were amazing and made us feel so comfortable and confident. This was totally out of my comfort zone and usually not something I would do but I was able to do it with Shanna and Mikaela's help and encouragement. My husband, myself and my two teenage kids absolutely loved it and would do it over and over again! The experience and the beauty of it all was priceless!

What an unforgettable experience in Maui! Water rappelling was the perfect mix of adventure and nature.
A huge shoutout to our guides, Shauna and Mikaela, who were absolutely amazing, super funny, and made sure we always felt safe and comfortable. The excursion is a perfect balance—physically active but not exhausting, and thrilling without being terrifying. It gives you just enough of an adrenaline rush to put you fully in the moment.
Plus, finishing the rappel right by those amazing waterfall pools meant we got to jump in for a swim right after! Truly an immersive experience in nature.
Highly recommended!

The best way to see the waterfalls is to rappel. No experience necessary, but it's real rappelling. Very fun and beautiful hike through the jungle. Shout out to Elena and Deacon who were great guides. Kids as young as 10 and adults all had a really fun adventure. One of the best adventure highlights of our vacation.

We LOVED Rappel Maui! Our concierge recommended them and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip.
We had a group of five (parents in our late 40s + kids ages 23, 19, and 17) and every single one of us was entertained, challenged, and had a blast. The guides were hilarious and amazing at keeping everyone engaged and comfortable the entire time.
All three of our kids said they’d rather do this again than whale watching or snorkeling so that says it all. Huge thanks to Alba and Shauna!

Wow this experience exceeded my expectations! Shauna and Deacon were the best guides! We were in very capable hands. Deacon treated us to strawberry guava and passionfruit found along our path as we made the trek back to basecamp which was a fun touch. As we did this in January, the wetsuit jackets really helped to keep us warm as the weather was a bit cool and overcast (maybe 68 degrees). If you are on the fence about whether or not to do this, it is an experience you'll remember for a lifetime! And you'll get some great pictures to prove it! We had the time of our lives. Mahalo!

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Rappel Maui. My brother-in-law booked this excursion for our family and we were all pretty nervous going in. We had 3 adults and 3 teenagers in our group and all varying confidence levels. My daughter lost her footing at one point and Shauna did a fantastic job of building her confidence back up and calming her nerves. Alba had a very calming presence paired with Shauna’s wit and humor made this a fantastic and FUN experience. Would highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Such a fun tour! Elena and Deacon were great! We felt safe and educated the entire time! Safely walked us up and down through a hidden trail to the top of flowing waterfalls. They showed us how to properly clip into the safety lines, what would happen to the lines if we let go or didn’t handle them correctly and the roles each of them would play as our fail-safe! I enjoyed the hike out of the canyon just as much as I enjoyed rappelling down the waterfalls!

Rappel Maui is one of the most unique experiences you can have while visiting Maui! This adventure takes you up close and personal with Maui's lush waterfalls and greenery and offers you a chance to interact with nature in a way that you may not have experienced before. Shauna and Alba were incredible guides who made us feel safe and comfortable, especially since this was my first time rappelling. I cannot recommend this guided rappel tour enough!

We absolutely loved this activity! It was easily the highlight of our trip to Maui. I mean, getting to say you’ve rappelled down a waterfall? Does it get any cooler than that?Our guides, Shawna and Alba, were knowledgeable and funny and made the trip a blast. The excursion lasts around 3 hours and you get to do 3 rappels, 1 dry and 2 waterfalls. We did it in August and the water felt refreshing and the pools were nice to swim around in. There were only 4 in our group total and our guides let us take as much time as we needed and let us enjoy the pools for as long as we wanted. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is considering it.
The only slightly confusing part is when you pull into the parking lot, there aren’t any signs, so we weren’t sure where to go at first.

Shauna & Deacon were our guides and they made me feel safe, confident in myself, and their instructions were always very clear. I as well really loved how they emphasized safety over and over again…not a lot of people do that, they were the best guides I’ve ever had on a tour! Highlight of my vacation was this tour and my guides :)

Me and my wife booked this excursion on an impulse for the last day of our honeymoon in Maui. Boy are we glad we did! I will be quite honest I had two full blown panic attacks at the first two drops. If it wasn't for Shauna the wild, crazy, funny, but ultimately one of the most genuine people I've ever met, there's no way I would have been able to do it and conquer my fears. My wifes words of encouragement helped me along as well. However I cannot say enough about both Shauna and Alba. Both those women are certified BADASSES. Thank you for an unforgettable day that me and my wife will surely be talking about for a long time.

We had an amazing experience during the afternoon tour. I was initially a little concerned that I would mess up, but the guides are very knowledgeable and it ended up being very easy and enjoyable! There is nothing more refreshing then dipping into a waterfall pool in the hot afternoon sun. The privacy of the falls is great and means that there are only really 10 of you (including the guides) max, so you can really enjoy the surroundings. I would definitely go again.

We recently visited Rappel Maui and had a fantastic time. This was the second time I took my two teens. We went in 2022 for our first adventure. This time I took my kids again and my fiancé and her two kids for their first experience.
Everyone had a blast!
The team was excellent. Patient, clear with instructions and they provided just the right amount of push to encourage my step kids to get over their initial fear of taking the plunge.
The kids were very pleased with themselves after getting over their hesitation and seeing that they could do it.
The location is beautiful, the drive up is on the Road to Hana (a big chunk of the best part in our opinion) and very doable from black rock, which is where we stayed.
I can't recommend this adventure enough. Not only is it fun and gets you out of your comfort zone but it also gives you a chance to immerse yourself in Maui's incredible environment (quite literally!)

Aloha! Without question, this was a vacation highlight!
To set the scene, we happened to have visited on a gorgeous day with perfect weather and water. It was epic!
Our day was hosted by the dream team of Shauna, Elena, and Deacon. All three were were kind, funny, and super helpful. After a short safety (first!) briefing we were on our way.
We did 3 rappel sections, the last two in amazing waterfalls. This is an experience you should NOT miss! Even for someone with a moderate fear of heights, it was easy to learn, control and go at your own pace.
It's the kind if experience the entire family will be talking about for years

My husband (nic-named Iron Soldier) can't wait to bring our teenagers on this adventure the next time we come to Maui. I hope we get the same guides next time too.

They guided us and made every rappel from the 45feet to the 60 feet then down to 35 feet! Make friends so that they take pics and videos when your camera will not work! Thank you to Atwood and Bain wherever you guys are! It is quite the drive but was worth it! Please make sure you sign your waivers, follow directions and listen to the guides! Mahalo!

This was so epic! Mike and Shauna were excellent instructors, both with great senses of humor - and the constant jokes played a big role in helping us relax as we confronted some fear and learned an awesome new skill! My partner said Shauna was 'a grip full of giggles' and made the whole adventure really playful. We felt completely safe the whole time and it was such a gift to experience such a pristine natural setting (beautiful trail and private waterfalls) that could only be accessed through Rappel Maui. Absolutely gorgeous, fun, and thankful we were blessed with a sunny day in Hana. Thanks guys!

This was a fantastic experience, with safety as the number one priority.
Elena and Shauna were our guides for this adventure and they did an excellent job training us and showing us how to rappel. The experience was exhilarating, and being the first time, when I can face to face with the course for rappelling down the waterfall - my heart skipped a beat. However, both Elena and Shauna were super supportive and encouraging and guided us all the way through.
I would do this again the next time I am here in Maui. Highly recommended.
Elena and Shauna - thanks for making this a memorable experience for my family and me.

What an adventure!! Our second trip to Rappel Maui, but this time a totally different experience. Our first was rainy with a raging river, pushing us to different rappel routes away from the dangerous rapids. We still had a blast and vowed to come back to conquer the falls. This time, with our 15 year old son, whom was jealous of our previous trip. Being greeted by Shauna, the kooky main guide, was a treat! She is quite the comedian and enjoys giving you a hard time. Great convo!! I recognized Elena from our previous visit, full of info and very knowledgeable. Last but definitely least was Taylor, fresh off her flight from East side main land and ready to rock. Also a great, fun guide! (They are all awesome) So, like I said, this visit was way different. Warm weather, blue skies and the perfect amount of flow off the falls. Just enough to waterboard yourself if you wanted. There were six of us tourist and the three guides, the day went smooth, everyone with different skill levels and hesitations, talked right over the edge and having an absolute blast, no complaints!
Do yourself a favor and step outside of your comfort zone and book this tour! It is something to add to your bucket list that you didn't even know you wanted to do!
Thank you Rappel Maui

Discovering Adventure with Rappel Maui: Our Team's Thrilling Experience
At Paraglide Maui, we’re all about soaring to new heights and sharing the joy of adventure. A few days ago our paragliding instructors visited the Rappel Maui crew for an unforgettable day of rappelling. And let us tell you—it was awesome.
What is Rappel Maui?
Nestled in the heart of Maui’s lush rainforest, Rappel Maui offers a unique way to explore the island’s natural beauty. Their expertly guided tours take you into the Keanae jungle, where you descend stunning waterfalls and navigate through verdant valleys. It’s a thrilling yet accessible adventure, perfect for anyone looking to step out of their comfort zone and into nature.
Our Rappelling Experience
From the moment we arrived, the Rappel Maui team made us feel right at home. They kicked things off with a thorough safety briefing and hands-on instruction, and then we geared up. The expertise and enthusiasm of our guides, Shauna and Elena, were contagious, and it wasn’t long before we were ready to rappel.
The descent down the waterfalls was nothing short of exhilarating. Each rappel presented its own set of challenges and rewards, from the heart-pounding first step over the edge to the cool splash of water at the bottom. The scenery was breathtaking—cascading falls, towering trees, and the vibrant greens of Maui’s rainforest.
Why You Should Try Rappel Maui
If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind Maui adventure, Rappel Maui is a must-try. Their professional guides ensure your safety and comfort while creating an unforgettable experience. Whether you're a thrill-seeker or simply want to immerse yourself in the island's natural beauty, this is an activity you'll never forget.
If you’re looking to pair your paragliding experience with another adrenaline-pumping activity, we can’t recommend Rappel Maui enough. Trust us—it’s the perfect complement to soaring the skies with Paraglide Maui.

My partner and I visited Maui for the first time, and this experience came highly recommended by our resort—I'm so glad we took their advice! The adventure begins with a scenic drive along the Road to Hana, which is absolutely stunning. The rappelling takes place in the breathtaking Garden of Eden Botanical Gardens, which is worth the admission on its own.
Our guides, Shauna and Mike, were fantastic! They were not only friendly and welcoming but also incredibly knowledgeable, making us feel completely at ease despite having no prior rappelling experience. From start to finish, we felt well cared for. The group was small (just four of us), which I really appreciated—there was no rush, and everyone got plenty of individual attention, though they do accommodate larger groups as well.
The experience itself was incredible—we rappelled down two beautiful waterfalls and ended with a refreshing swim at the bottom. It was an unforgettable way to immerse ourselves in Hawaii’s natural beauty.
If you’re looking for a unique and exciting way to experience Maui’s stunning landscapes, I can’t recommend Rappel Maui enough. It's the perfect blend of adventure and appreciation for the island's beauty!

Me and my friends recently had the chance to go rappelling in Maui, and it was absolutely incredible! The breathtaking scenery combined with the thrill of descending the cliffs made for an unforgettable adventure. Our guides, Mike and Shauna, were amazing—knowledgeable and supportive, they ensured everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the experience. I loved the rush of adrenaline as I navigated the stunning waterfalls and lush landscapes. If you’re looking for a unique way to explore Maui’s natural beauty, I highly recommend the rappel experience!

We chose Rappel Maui as the starter activity for our first visit to Maui. It did not disappoint. I fasted for 4 days to make sure I made the weight limit and it was worth it! My wife and I had never rappeled before and Elena and Shauna were wonderful at explaining and encouraging us. It was thrilling and beautiful, but the shoes kept our feet from slipping as that was the biggest insecurity as we stepped over the edge over the waterfall. Would totally come back with my kids. Highly recommended. The ladies were funny and engaging. We ended up having a private tour since nobody else booked, and we loved it!

Rappeling down a waterfall was amazing. The scenery was awesome.
Our guides Shauna and Elena were funny and knowledgeable about rapelling and plants and wildlife and what could be eaten.
The rappelling is intimidating at first but is easy in the moment.
Make sure to bring a way to take pictures in the water you will be swimming. If you are a bug-bite magnet consider bringing bug spray.
Phone service is near non-existent in this area so make sure to bring cash and download the map to be able to route there and back.
This is my favorite activity we've done so far on this trip.

Don’t miss this Hawaiian experience! If you like waterfalls, swimming, rappelling and having fun, this outdoor adventure is for you.
Although group tours are available, we chose to book a private tour.
Our guides Elena, and Shauna were the highlight of the trip as they seamlessly balanced our various experience levels within our group of four (beginner to advanced) while ensuring our safety and sharing knowledge nuggets of Hawaiian culture.
Expect to get wet as you repel from various heights and land in what feels like your own private lagoon with spectacular up close views of waterfalls.
Safety gear is provided (climbing gear, shoes and helmets) as well as phone protection and I’d suggest bringing your swimsuits and bug spray and sunscreen.
If you’re coming to Maui, plan to see a part of the Island that you can only see and experience with Rappel Maui.

This might be the VERY BEST adventure we have had in Maui. Shauna and Naomi who were our instructors were beyond amazing in explaining not only how to repel but pointing our interesting things about the area where we were going to repel. I can't say enough about this company. It is something that should be on your bucket list to do. By the way, we are in our 70's and were able to easily traverse the course. This is the biggest "NO BRAINER" when thinking of new adventures in Maui.

This was one of my favorite activities I did in Maui! The guides were so nice & friendly—they did such a great job teaching us what to do & putting us all at ease. I was especially concerned about navigating (I am deaf and have balance issues), but they were able to accommodate me with no questions asked! I was able to have clear instructions given to me before repelling down, there was a little waterproof container I could put my hearing devices in, and there was also ropes along the hiking paths that assisted with my balance! I loved this experience so much and would recommend it to everyone!!

My husband and I were very excited to be able to rappel in Maui, but we had no idea the treat we were in for! Shauna’s easy going personality and Jackson’s calm demeanor along with their knowledge provided us a better experience than we could have imagined. We felt supported and encouraged the entire time, even when we made some missteps along the rocks. While it was a wildly rainy day, we didn’t even notice because we had so much fun. We ABSOLUTELY recommend Rappel Maui and hope to return in the future!!

Highly recommend this activity for anyone visiting Maui. Conveniently located on the Road to Hana. We selected this as a stopping point on the Road to Hana and opted not to do the full loop, but at least get a taste of the Road to Hana and then add in some waterfall rappelling as a bonus. Naomi and her staff are very engaging and explain everything fully to make all parties comfortable (we were there with my two daughters, 14 and 12) for first timers. You actually rappel down a small practice hill to begin followed by TWO waterfalls (first one you rappel to the side of it and the second one you rappel directly in the waterfall itself). Plenty of time for photo ops as well and a good mini workout not only with the rappelling but also the small hike to/from the main headquarters (not far but hilly). Plenty of surrounding places on the Road to Hana to stop for lookout points or food along the way. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip for all parties in my family. If you want to get outdoors in some beautiful landscape for some good photo ops while also trying out a fun and adventurous activity, definitely recommend checking out Rappel Maui!

This was one of the Highlights of our trip to Hawaii & one of the coolest things my Husband and I have ever done! Shauna & Jonas were incredible, knowledgeable, funny, and made us feel super safe. If you are looking for an active adventure surrounded by the gorgeous Rainforest, and not scared of heights, this is the excursion to book. If we come back again, we would def book it again!! It was so good!
We recommend water clothes to get dirty, bug spray, sun screen, and if possible, a waterproof phone case for pics!!!

Naomi and Jackson were fantastic! Made a relatively difficult activity feel safe and exciting at the same time. The excursion is beautiful and fun. What an extraordinary way to visit a couple waterfalls all by ourselves. This was actually the second time we went with rappel maui, as the first time (a couple years ago) was so much fun.

My daughter (17) and I had an amazing time. Sure, it was a little scary at first, but we felt like we were in great hands. Each rappel got easier and we loved being surrounded by the beautful waterfalls. I would highly recommend it.

Incredible experience that we will talk about for years. Seriously, I don’t leave reviews but you don’t want to miss this experience. Naomi and Shauna were incredible guides and teachers (for their first day lol). I laughed, I cried, it was better than “Cats”.

We absolutely loved this adventure during our recent trip to Maui! Our instructors Naomi and Shauna were so fun, knowledgeable and professional, and they really brought the experience to life. Our fearless teenage son had a blast, and my husband and I were able to face our fear of heights and have a great time too, thanks to the guidance and patience of our instructors. We definitely recommend booking this tour, and since you'll already be halfway along the "Road to Hana", continue your journey along it afterwards and see the black sand beaches at Wai'anapanapa State Park like we did. You won't regret it!

Best experience in rappelling and staff was amazing. Our guides Jonas and Elena were very patient and helpful. The climb back up the stairs to the top at the end will definitely burn the calf muscles

Our family had a really fun rappel trip thanks to the great people at Rappel Maui! We began the day with a beautiful drive up the road to Hana before the crowds, got to Rappel Maui and were greeted in person by Shauna, and then given all the details in an informative but not intimidating way by Naomi. These girls are rock stars who put us at ease with their great sense of humor and effortless command of the ropes. We loved it!!

EPIC. That is the one word to describe this adventure. Where else are you going to get to rappel down waterfalls in the lush jungle of Maui or any place!? Nowhere. This was one of the coolest experiences that my wife and I have enjoyed on island, just a blast and glad we did this. Huge thanks to our guides Naomi & Jackson!

Naomi and Jackson were great! Very fun and professional. Take your wedding ring off before you go bc mine went flying off after I did a flip and a half off the waterfall above the crocodile pit during the hail storm in the cyclone but I found it hanging on the last ledge! We had an awesome time. Mahalo!

Elena, Jonas and Naomi made our rappel experience amazing! We did a lot of amazing things in Hawaii and this was at the top of the list. We spent the most time with Naomi, because she was with us at the bottom of each rappel and brought us from place to place. She was absolutely AMAZING and made the entire experience that much better! The experience was very secluded since tourists aren’t allowed in the area where you rappel so you get a private tour of some amazing spots! Plus, the area where you rappel is part of where they filmed Jurassic park. It’s that cool!

This excursion ranks up with our Road to Hana. My son and I had a blast. He was hesitant with this one, but floating in the pool below the waterfall he turned saying he was so glad he did it. Naomi and Shauna were outstanding. Two great ladies who love what they do, and their attitudes rub off on all the participants. We would do it again and wouldn’t think twice!

Rappel Maui is an adventure that redefines thrilling experiences in paradise! Our guides, Shawna and Naomi, were not just instructors; they were entertainment and safety rolled into one perfect package.
The stunning cliffs set against the backdrop of the Garden of Eden Arboretum created a picturesque scene straight out of a dream. Surprisingly, the adventure doubled as an educational expedition, introducing us to the world of fruits, trees, and local fauna.
What sets Rappel Maui apart is the seamless blend of adrenaline, learning, and sheer fun. The gallery gift shop added a unique touch, reflecting the island’s beauty in every piece.
Trust me, if you’re planning a Hawaiian getaway, this experience is an absolute must! It’s the perfect balance of excitement, natural beauty, and learning, making it an unforgettable adventure.

Shauna and Abby were the best! Had an amazing time rappelling down waterfalls with outstanding views and a one of a kind experience. Swam in beautiful pools at the base of waterfalls in a gorgeous rainforest. Would highly recommend to anyone, at any age or level of experience. My partner and I took our 15 and 16 year old teenagers as well as my 65 year old mother. Everyone had a wonderful, unforgettable time even with zero experience. 10 out of 10!

Shauna’s comedic timing was on point & Abbie’s soft-heartedness was very comforting. Our group’s experience being the first timers through the woods down the falls was impeccable. Highly recommend them for your next trip!

This was a blast! The last and only time I've ever rappelled I was a senior in high school. Now I'm 58, overweight and out of shape but I couldn't resist giving this a go. Our tour guides, Abby and Naomi, were knowledgeable, patient and enthusiastic about our rappelling experience. The only thing we did wrong was not take a camera. Be sure to take one as there will be ample opportunities for some great pics to be taken.
Go with a group of friends! You won't regret it!!!

Took my son today and we had a blast. This is a must do in Maui and top of my list for adventure here. Naomi and Abbie were fantastic guides. I also loved the small groups. The scenery is spectacular.

The guides, Abbie and Naomi, were amazing! They make you feel so comfortable doing the uncomfortable and they’ll cheer you on the whole way. The waterfalls you rappel are beautiful and the small hike to get to/from (~5 minutes each) has gorgeous views. I even had a blast climbing through rocks/boulders between waterfalls. 20/10 would recommend :)

The views were incredible, and there's really no way to describe how incredible it is to rappel down next to waterfalls!
Our guides, Ropheka and Abbie were amazing as well - they made sure we were prepared for each leg of the journey, but made the whole experience fun at the same time! They also had great recommendations for places to eat after our tour!

An absolutely excellent experience. My wife, 2 kids 12 and 14, and I went on this tour this week and we had Elena and Jonas as our guides. They were absolutely fantastic. My wife was very nervous about rappelling and had never done it before. They were extremely calm and talked us through everything that we needed to do to rappel. We were inexperienced and they were great at explaining and giving us tips to help. They both worked together very well to make sure that we were safe and not to mention they were such nice people. The waterfalls were beautiful and so cool to be able to rappel down them. In fact the second waterfall they even let us choose a drier way down or to rappel into the waterfall which was great to have the choice. If you are brave I recommend the wetter way down but watch your steps. It’s a beautiful place to get to do this fun activity. We were lucky that it was a beautiful day as well. This was a very memorable experience and can’t wait to tell all our family about it and tell them to go!
