This was an excellent trip. They could have explained the equipment better, but we were all familiar with kayaks. The river was fun. very calm mostly with some fast sections, small riffles. You could get sideways and dump the kayak, but the guides were careful to keep you away from faster water and snags. Lots of birds and beautiful river corridor to see. The best part however was the fantastic food served at the end. This deserves 6 stars! The village is really nice and the people are so helpful and friendly. The tequila house is fun and the personal tour of the whole thing makes it excellent.

The good: The lunch was the best we have ever had on any excursion in any country. Legit, wonderful Mexican food. The people are kind and helpful. The location is in a small town, Veranos. Very cool to get off the beaten path. The bad: Hot. Hot. Hot. We went in June. I would not go again unless it was in October to February. All the plant life was dead and we baked. Rainy season is July. Then all the green comes to life and makes it much better. We came in two vans. One had no AC. An hour drive with no AC with 10 people in the van. Rough. Check in at the cruise terminal was chaotic. We pre-purchased with Viator. They sent specific instructions with pictures of a guy who is there “every day” and specific instructions on the color of shirt. Neither were true. We eventually asked around and got there. Because we were already pre-purchased, he kept neglecting us to take funds from cruise passengers that were paying in cash. Not a crazy big deal, but annoying in the scope of things. Overall, in the right time of year I think it would be a great excursion.

The guy in the Tequila factory is a cheat! I purchased a novelty mug for his full asking price of 500 pesos. I momentarily turned to talk to my daughter and in that moment he switched mugs and wrapped one that had a broken handle that was a different style than the mug I had selected. There were no extra pieces in the very well wrapped package. It was damaged when he wrapped it. He Is a cheat!!! This business is all about tourism and this is how they treat their tourist customers!!

It takes a little over an hour up some windy mountain road to get to the location. Be sure to take some motion sickness med if you’re sensitive. Guides were very nice and there were only 5 of us on the tour. I think there were 10 or 12 lines. I’ve done ziplining quite a few times at different places prior to this. One thing that’s different about this tour is you need to swing your legs and rock back and forth to slow down. No big deal and you get used to it. However the one thing I didn’t expect is how greasy the Zipline cable would be. The grease will splat on your face, your body, and clothes. Didn’t expect that and not sure why it needs to be so greasy. There should be a warning about that. You may want to wear dark clothes. Otherwise guides were great and lines were fun without being extreme.

We had a blast on this tour. Never rode an ATV before, but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy. We were on the ATV’s about 45 minutes, and then we had lunch and tasted tequila. Was a great place to spend a few hours. Would recommend and we would do this tour again. Super fun.

I booked the hot springs tour for my friend and I months before our cruise ship stop in Mazatlan. Denise e-mailed me immediately after booking to arrange the details of our tour. The meeting place was in the marketplace at the pier, making this a great shore excursion choice. We were signed up for the hot springs, but told about the other options when we arrived at the meeting place, so we added a kayaking tour to our day. Our Wonderful driver and guide, Carlos drove us the hour or so out of the city and into the countryside for our adventure, telling us all about the area and stopping at a roadside stand for the Most Wonderful just baked, warm, fresh, empanadas. When we arrived in the city of Veranos, the Veraneando Adventure team took over, driving us to the Presidio River. We were in great hands with Hector who took us on an Amazing 2 hour kayak tour, guiding us safely and patiently through the beautiful calm waters and gentle rapids. We really enjoyed the tour even though I found 2 hours somewhat of a challenge, and it was really a Pleasure to dunk in the hot springs afterwards. The hot springs were followed by a Really Fabulous lunch spread including a soda or a delicious local beer. Our tour in Veranos was capped off by a tequila tasting with so many flavors to choose from. My favorites were coffee and tamarindo and I happily brought both of these home with me. After our Delightful visit to Veranos, Carlos drove us back to the city. He drove us up into the mountains for a Beautiful view of Mazatlan before taking us back to the pier in time for all aboard. It was a Very Full, Terrific Day giving us the flavor of Mazatlan!

This is an absolutely must do activity if you visit Mazatlan. The guides are friendly and incredibly helpful you will kayak down several Myers miles of the presidio River being exposed to natural wildlife and even a few rapids. Highly highly recommend this

This was such a disappointment! Went to Mr. Lionso Ranch and thought we were going to town of Veranos. ATV’s were beat up and food was NOT good. Tequilla factory was unfinished and dirty. Would never return here. In 2023 same tour to Veranos and excellent food and tequilla factory tour was food. Nice ATV ride there. Booked with Pronatours at our hotel and they switched our location without telling us. Definitely not worth time or money going to Mr. Lionso’s Ranch!

This experience exceeded our expectations. For entertainment, great food and a super fun tequilla tasting — this was serious bang for your buck. The private strip along the beach was incredible!

Awesome experience! We had a tequila tasting, great lunch and a tour of the tequila making process. The agave plants were everywhere… it is an actual farm that the family has run for years. The all terrain vehicle tour was top notch! Our guide took us through country side and agave fields and then rode on the vacant beaches along the Pacific Ocean! I highly recommend this tour!!

The driver never picked us up from the resort. I called and talked to them and also texted. They kept saying the driver was coming. We waited one hour and 45 minutes. No driver. I want my money back.

Beautiful beach, good meal and tequila tasting. Very friendly guides and host. Would absolutely do this again. Enjoyed the entire experience.

I’m so glad we booked this tour. The scenery was beautiful and the wildlife was plentiful. Many species of birds, including herons, cranes, and ducks. It was interesting to see the cattle along the edges of the river. The kayaks were the sit - on style. They were fine although when going over the rapids, you were guaranteed to have water in your kayak. So a change of clothes would be a good idea. The rapids weren’t bad but a little scary for first timers. Of which we had two in our group , including an 80-year-old woman! I have to say, she’s not your average 80-year-old. Very healthy and fit. The lunch, after kayaking was wonderful! Delicious burritos, homemade tortillas with frijoles and pico de gallo, guacamole, and chilies. It was so delicious! And to top it off, we had flaming cheese with shredded carrots.

The trip was absolutely amazing! The tour guides were all super sweet and the tour itself was a pretty good length. The beach and jungle were beautiful, I would definitely reccomend having one person ride on the back of the ATV for photos. We also had enchiladas and tequila cheese which tasted SO GOOD. We had a mini tour or the tequila process and ended up trying the different flavours (they were all really good). I’d definitely recommend this for couples or families!

This was a great tour! About 45 miles from Mazatlan, you pass a Rooster Farm, a Tequila Distillery/Agave farm, La Noira which is one of the oldest mining towns in Sinaloa, and a lake. The tour driver spoke great English as did everyone in the village. The zip line was above a canyon, it zigzagged back and forth, very short walks between lines. Definitely an easy zip line tour as far as hiking, the lines ranged in length, up to 300km long. The lunch was soooooo good! Then we went to the local tequila factory where they make flavored tequilas; almond, chocolate, espresso, hibiscus, and even marijuana.
