This was such a fun thing to do! We did the early morning run (meet up at 7am) and the river and the hiking path were not crowded. As we came back there was a lot more people, so I strongly suggest getting up early! It was so magical to go up that gorgeous river, and then to just stroll around in the jungle to end up swimming under the waterfall!
Our guide, Jason (I think) was super easy going and helpful. He gave us all sorts of information about landmarks, movie history, plants… This is not a ritzy trip, no special accommodations or fancy lunch. There were also no kids, which for us is a good thing.
I think it’s important to know that, although overall it is an easy hike, there are a few tricky spots, muddy/slippery stones to walk around and over, and obstacle to climb over/under. If you have back or leg issues, that might not be for you.
Information was clear, meet up was easy to find, instructions were helpful and clear. Just a wonderful experience all around!
