The Experience

Before You Go

Book the sea transfer if you want a scenic start

The speedboat crossing gives panoramic views of the bay and shaves transit time when your ship docks downtown.

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes

Platforms and trail approaches can be slippery; trail-running shoes with grip work better than sandals.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a quick-dry change

You’ll likely get wet on river slides and kayaking—protect skin without harming freshwater life.

Mind the health and weight limits

This course restricts participants for safety—check age, height and weight limits before booking and tell guides about injuries.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Natural stone slides and shallow pools just downstream of the restaurant—less crowded early in the day
  • A quiet riverside viewpoint reached by a short walk from the dining area that offers a panoramic look at the lower canopy lines

Wildlife

  • scarlet macaws (occasional flybys)
  • green iguanas sunning on river rocks

Conservation Note

The park supports a small rescued-animal sanctuary and emphasizes river conservation; visitors are asked to use eco-friendly sunscreen and avoid littering to protect freshwater habitats.

The site sits at the edge of Bahia de Banderas where coastal fishing villages and mountain ranches have long met—modern canopy tourism arrived in the last two decades as a way to showcase the Sierra Madre’s river corridors.
