Question 1

What time do tours depart?

Maximum 5 passengers. Every tour is private to your family or group — no strangers, no sharing.

What safety training does David have?

Accepted Answer

David holds current first aid and CPR certification, and has a background in nursing. Every tour carries comprehensive first aid equipment, and David brings the calm confidence that comes from years of clinical experience.

Question 8

What if it rains?

Accepted Answer

Light rain makes the rainforest even more atmospheric — waterfalls are fuller and wildlife is more active. It's a tropical rainforest, so rain is part of the experience. We tour in all weather.

Absolutely. Our bespoke tour option lets you choose destinations, pace, and interests. Submit a request at /tours/bespoke and David will craft a personalised itinerary.
