Breathtaking Lake Atitlán: Paddle, Soar & Transform Adventure

Beautiful way to spend the day in this pristine area. Our guide picked us up at our hotel and took us to the boat dock for a ride to the kayak center. Really cool views from out on Lake Atitlan! Next we went to the nature reserve for the zip lining. The staff there was very thorough and safety conscious but I have to say were completely lacking in enthusiasm and seemed more like distracted carnival ride operators. That said, the zip line experience itself was AWESOME! Not super long runs but the views and vistas from high above the lake and through the treetops was unreal! Definitely recommend this tour!

Mario is super friendly and helpful! He's kind and patient and very knowledgeable. He was great at teaching us kayaking and he made sure we had a great lunch experience as well. Ziplining was amazing as well! The gentlemen at the eco park were kind enough to film the ziplines for us as well 😊

Alex was our guide. He spoke excellent English and was very easy to chat with. He picked us up at our hotel and took us into Panajachel to catch a water taxi across the lake to the kayaks. From there we proceeded to kayak for about 3 miles with a stop about half way at a cove that allowed for some casual swimming. Be sure to fully cover with sun screen! My shins got a little sunburned from sitting in the kayaks. After kayaking, we beached a little west of hotel Atitlan and walk a trail through the Atitlan Nature preserve to the zip lining location. Here Alex turned us over to the zip lining company. While we waited for our time slot there is a cafe with a small selection of food, a butterfly exhibit and plenty of nature trails. Of note, you have to hike up the nature trails to get to the ziplines so if you venture too far you may find yourself re-hiking the same trails. There are trail maps in the main zipline facility showing the layout of the line and the trails. Excellent day of activities and well worth the experience!

We began on the kayaks with Mario and that was the best thing that would happen to us. He was the best tour guide we could've have. Kayaking in lake Atiltan is one of the best experiences I've ever had. The inner peace you feel is unexplainable. After that we went on the ziplines with Don Beto and Paola. They were really professional and made the experience better for all of us. The view and the adrenaline are one of the best in Panajachel.

The experience was awesome. Our guide Mario was an angel, very smiling and allowed us to have the best experience. The view of the lake from the kayak and then from the zip line is a complement that is worth the detour. It was wonderful.
