The guides

A father-and-son outfit, by reviewers' account

A March 2026 Tripadvisor review names Larry and Diego as a father-and-son team hosting the tour. The company does not publish owner names, titles or a founding year; its earliest review is from January 2025, so treat it as a new operator.

All six reviews are five stars and praise the warmth of the hosts, their knowledge of plants and wildlife, attention to safety and the option to book last minute. Six reviews is too few to draw patterns from, which is why this page says so.

“Guided by local tour guide.”
