“There was no Premium/exclusive access to the waterfalls. The lineup at the waterfalls was rediculas. Over 1.5 hours of waiting. Our group got paired with elderly people, so we hiked at a snails pace and stopped every 5 minutes so they could catch up and rest. The ziplines were awesome. The horses were great. The staff was amazing, especially if you get Samuel as your guide. Last thing, THERE WAS NO RUM INCLUDED at any part of our tour, and we asked probably 10 times, and showed him that it said "Rum and soft drinks" included. It was not.”
