Family Friendly
No Experience Required

You step off the transfer and the road narrows; palms lean over a corkscrew of riverbed rock and sunlight punches through the canopy in bright, hot slants. Paradise Valley opens like a hidden stage—pools of turquoise tucked in terraces of volcanic rock, shallow streams daring you to follow them upstream. Guides keep a steady pace on sandy tracks while laughter and the occasional splash mark the route.
