“Great day. Maano Adventures agreed to go ahead with the booking despite 5 other people cancelling which left me the only person on the booking. This meant that several guides had to come along just for me. The rafting was fantastic and the guides were amazing the whole way. Extremely grateful for them putting the trip on just for me. Amazing day!”

“los guias son nuy amables, buenos y divertidos. el sitio es muy bonito y el rafting esta bien. Lo malo : el jefe de la empresa ha querido cobrarnos 100 dolares porque donde nos han venido a buscar estaba muy lejos , cuando en el tour se dejaba muy claro que estaba incluida la recogida y tenian nuestra dirección escrita desde hace más de 3 semanas. al final hemos tenido que llegar a un acuerdo de 25 euros porque no queria aceptar que no pagaramos aun sabiendo que estaba incluido en el tour.”
