“The centerpiece of the tour is sliding down a waterfall, and jumping from a cliff into water. If you just want to explore the rainforest, hike, and see the tower, you may want to hike on your own. You WILL get wet on this tour. There is no perfect footwear. You need good hiking shoes or sneakers to hike over slippery rocks, but then you will dive into water wearing those same footwear. This is a rainforest, and it will rain; maybe a little bit, but it will rain. You will encounter mud; there is no way to avoid it; you will need to walk right thru it (if you…”

It was challenging at times and could feel a bit scary with the jumps but Roy was so patient, kind, and understanding—everyone in the group felt so safe, comfortable, and cared for the entire time.
