A hidden gem of nature!

We had a wonderful guided tour with Gisella on our first trip to Hofi Mango. She was very knowledgeable and pleasant and took us around to all of the best spots in the park. It’s a beautiful preserve that we had never visited before. We have lived here full time since selling everything in Orlando, FL and we were very impressed with how well organized and well maintained everything is at Hofi Mango.

Don't do it

The problem with this excursion was not the venues. They were both beautiful. The Hofi Mango Forest was very nice. The woman leading the tour may have been nice. It was hard to tell. She spoke so softly, and with with such a strong accent, it was impossible to tell what she was saying. To make matters worse, she would wouldn't wait for people to catch up before she started speaking. The beach was also beautiful, with nice facilities. It was hard to enjoy, however, as we were only there an hour. Hard to change into your swimsuit, get some each chairs, find some shade, get a dip on the sea dry off, relax, and change back, all in an hour. These tour operators don't seem to appreciate the investment that the people going on these tours have made in order to get to these parts of the world, just to have and opportunity to go on these tours to experience these parts of the world.

Chainsaw ruined the ambience

Pretty park and restaurant, attentive staff, fans for the heat. For some reason chainsaw was running all during lunch - i could have been on the patio on a saturday at home. Surprised this was allowed
