Top Costa Rica Nature and Wildlife Tours - page 5

This was one of the best experiences of the lifetime - The ATV ride in the rain and maneuvering on the rugged muddy terrain was a in adventure within - The beautiful jungle type setting and going to the waterfall was absolutely incredible!! The ATV guides were very friendly and coached us to how operate the ATV's and led the group very professionally through the entire coarse of the pathway through forest, clouds, uphill and downhill climbs and maneuvering through the cascading streams and dense forests. The ATVs were well maintained and fun to ride.

This was an excellent tour of the rainforest at night. We were a small group of five and our guide was excellent. We were each provided with flashlights and the trail was well laid out. There are some steep steps along the way but nothing too difficult if you take your time ( I am 78, but quite fit). Our 11 year old grandson loved it. The guide was great at spotting wildlife including, tree frogs, roosting birds, a lovely non-venomous snake, spiders and numerous other animals and insects. He seemed to really enjoy his work and the whole tour seemed relaxed and certainly not rushed. I highly this tour. 5 out of 5! Pat (Canada)

Amazing and must-do in La Fortuna. Was worried it would be touristy, but it is for a reason! We took our time down and made it to the waterfall in around 12 mins. We swam in the river and enjoyed the views for 40 mins or so, and then walked back up in 18 mins (with many stops on the stairs!)

Roy is a wonderful guide. His passion for nature and sharing his love of nature really shines through. He is very informative and takes his time to find and show us amazing birds. It made our walk through the Heat of the Forest so much more delightful. Highly recommend Roy as your next nature guide.

Definitely worth the price. I booked this for two, then found out an hour before the departure time that my boyfriend cheated on me. I broke up with him and went on the boat tour as planned-- it was awesome all by myself! There were probably about 50 people on board, but it felt decently spacious. There are seating options on deck, but also inside if you want to stay out of the sun. We sailed pretty far out from Coco Beach to a smaller beach on a little island. This took about an hour and a half. Then we had the option of taking the dingy to shore or snorkeling. I snorkeled for a bit, but then hung out on the shore for the rest of the time. The open bar is fantastic, the staff were super personable and attentive always asking if they could get you a new beverage. We had a great meal as well!! I would definitely do this experience again as it was beautiful, relaxing, and stress-free; just what I needed.

Stephen was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the tour feel fun and interactive. He shared so many interesting facts about the crocodiles and the surrounding wildlife while keeping everything safe and professional. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does. Seeing the crocodiles up close in their natural habitat was unforgettable. The scenery was beautiful, and the entire experience felt authentic and worth every minute.

Despite only hearing but not seeing famed Quetzal, our guide Eleir gave us so much attention. He found millipedes, tarantulas, a fabulous stick bug, all things we would never have seen on our own. He was very knowledgeable and shared lots. Highlight were the spider monkeys swinging from the tree tops. Eleir got me a few slow mo videos and photos on my phone through his scope. To know: buy your private tour but then also buy your Monteverde Preserve entrance fee for the same trail and same time or you will not be let into the park. Got some true cloud action, sun, brief showers - the gamut.

The atv portion was great. I think I was fortunate in only having 4 people in the group. I saw a group of over 10 and it looked like a miserable conga line. The halfway point being a waterfall was a nice surprise. The zip lining experience was also amazing. Even with it being my first time, the safety instructors gave me the confidence as if it was my hundredth time. 10/10 bonus points for it being a rainstorm prior to speed the wires up!
