Amazing adventurous tour
I booked this tour last minute get out of Tamarindo and experience another adventure. This tour is completely worth it! Luiz was our guide and it was just my boyfriend and I and he showed us different wildlife and flora/flauna, he took us cliff jumping, to a smaller waterfall that locals go to, and he took so many pictures and videos for us. We had a driver that didn’t speak english but we communicated through google translate. He took us to a local lunch spot in Liberia. After eating we were so tired that we just wanted to go back to the hotel and he took us straight back. He was super nice and talked/showed us Costa Rica culture and told us about their Independence Day. Really great day!

Unforgettable Experience! Forever Memories
Just book it! You will not regret it. We had a party of 7, ranging in ages from 17 to 60+ and all of us were blown away. From
Zip lining, horseback riding, cultural experience, to the water slide, all
Activities were top notch. We felt very safe for all activities. Cedar was our guide and we started the party off right with the bus ride. Cedar was an excellent tour guide. He had us laughing from the second we met him and his enthusiasm for the nature in Costa Rica is unmatched. He picked us up right from our air bnb and was pointing out monkeys right near our house that we had never noticed. He was very patient with us and never rushed us through our tour. Finishing our tour with the hot springs was absolute bliss and a memory we will never forget. Highly recommend bringing smaller bills to tip the people assisting you on the tour because they are all excellent and make for an unforgettable experience. We’ll remember this day forever!

Great Experience
Great experience had great time with Oscar. He is very personable and knowledgeable. I enjoyed trying different fruits that I have never had before and the food was tasty. And to top off some delicious coffee. I definitely recommend to anyone coming to San Jose.

Angel was an amazing tour...
Angel was an amazing tour guide and teacher. From the moment he met the group he was very informative, funny, entertaining and helpful. I really enjoyed his conversations about food and traveling and was very patient when we asked questions about San Jose. The food was excellent as well. We started in the Central Market, ate delicious ice cream and walked around. Then we went to the café and started drinking and eating. We had about 4 cocktails - some we made with as much/little alcohol you prefer and some were premade. We ate about 3 tapas dishes. I won't say much so as to not ruin what was served but let me just say it was an enjoyable time.

Must not miss!
This experience was a great way to see lots of what makes Costa Rica special! Guide José and driver Mauricio were on time, knowledgeable, and courteous. I particularly appreciate the pickup and drop off as a solo traveler trying to see more of the country. The curation of stops was excellent -- we saw many animals (sloths! snakes! frogs!), got to swim in a waterfall, and tasted delicious chocolate, coffee, not to mention the great lunch at a local soda. Thank you for the great day!

Our guide, Able, was...
Our guide, Able, was absolutely amazing! He had an incredible amount of knowledge about the area, plantations, and wildlife, and shared so many interesting insights with us throughout the trip. At times, we even noticed other guides following him, which says a lot about his expertise!
I would definitely recommend Able to anyone visiting the area, and I would absolutely choose him again on my next trip.

Amazing tour!
What an amazing day! Our tour guide Steven was simply the best. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was a full day, about 15 hours, but it was 100 worth it. We learned about one of the coffee plantations, enjoyed so Costa Rican coffee, saw the waterfall, zip lined and spent some time at the hot spring. It was the best tour we could have started our vacation doing.

Great tour!
An absolutely incredible tour, one of the highlights of our trip! Corcovado is stunning, and we were lucky to see so much wildlife: squirrel and spider monkeys, two anteaters, crocodiles, and a wide variety of beautiful birds.
A big shoutout to our guide, Elbert, who truly made the experience even better. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, sharing fascinating insights throughout the tour and helping us spot animals we would have definitely missed on our own.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area, an unforgettable experience!
