What are people saying about Liberia

Catherine_I, Jun 2026

Amazing experience and Marvin is wonderful

We had the most incredible tour experience in Costa Rica, and it was truly all thanks to our amazing guide, Marvin. From start to finish, he was knowledgeable, personable, and made us feel completely safe and comfortable—especially on the hikes. He created such a perfect, well-rounded day for us. We explored beautiful waterfalls, hiked through the rainforest, and learned so much along the way. One of the absolute highlights was getting to see wildlife up close—especially a sloth, which was my favorite! He even arranged for a local volunteer to help us spot and learn about more animals, which made the experience feel so special and authentic. Beyond the adventure, he also made sure we experienced the culture. We enjoyed a delicious local lunch that he helped serve, which added such a thoughtful, personal touch. We also got to see how coffee and chocolate are made—such a fun and memorable experience! He wrapped up the day by taking us souvenir shopping, making sure we found great, authentic items. What really stood out was his patience, kindness, and genuine passion for what he does. He never rushed us, answered all our questions, and made the entire day feel effortless and fun. If you’re visiting Costa Rica, I cannot recommend this tour—especially with Marvin- highly enough. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip!

Coffee & Chocolate Tour+Sloths Park & Llanos de Cortez Waterfall

Amazing experience with Dayro

This was an INCREDIBLE experience!!! We would highly recommend this when in Costa Rica. It was cultural, exciting and unique. Dayro’s hospitality and company was phenomenal — we were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour for that day so we got a great personalized experience. You have the option to choose the order of the events, we chose to do the waterfalls first, rainforest next and finished with the coffee and chocolate experience. I would HIGHLY recommend this order!!! We arrived to the waterfalls at 7:55am, waiting until it opened at 8am. We were the only ones there for about 25 minutes, we got to swim and get photos alone in the falls. On our way up the stairs there were lines of vans coming in with large groups of people so we were extremely grateful to have had almost a full 30 minutes of silence, a private waterfall experience with ourselves, Dayro and the nature around us. The rainforest was phenomenal — we saw sloths hanging in the trees with their babies on them, monkeys swinging, toucans, a pit viper snakes and frogs; Dayro had two types of binoculars we got the best views and photos/videos of the animals. The coffee & chocolate experience was also amazing, the guides were great and they have a great shop with authentic coffee, chocolate beauty products and more!! To end, we had an amazing lunch with Dayro, authentic food, great mango juice and they even have a butterfly garden at the lunch spot which we had some time to walk through together. 10/10 amazing time!! We gave a bit of a tip to the rainforest guides, the coffee/chocolate guides and of course to Dayro at the end so it is recommended to bring some cash since there are different guides throughout some of the experiences :)

Amazing Day!

We had an amazing tour with our guide, Dayro! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and great at spotting wildlife we would have missed on our own. Rio Celeste Waterfall was stunning, and the Sloths and Wildlife Sanctuary was a highlight. We saw eyelash viper snakes, a tree frog, and even an anteater! The van was very comfortable for the long ride, and the food was great as well. Highly recommend this tour—Dayro made our tour unforgettable.

Amazing Waterfalls, Wildlife, and an Unforgettable Sloth Sighting

We had a great tour! The driver was friendly and the van had nice, cool AC. We did a short nature walk to swim in a waterfall, stopped for breakfast and lunch, and hiked to another waterfall. The highlight of the trip was seeing sloths and toucans, including a mom sloth with her newborn baby on her chest. My advice is to bring a poncho or rain jacket since the weather changes quickly. Highly recommend this tour!

Nicaragua One Day Expedition from Costa Rica

Carina_S, Oct 2025

The Best Tour I’ve Ever Booked on Viator!

I’ve booked many tours on Viator, but this one was by far the best! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish - professional communication even before the tour and flawless coordination throughout the day. I can’t imagine how much time and stress it would have taken to cross the Costa Rica–Nicaragua border on my own. The tour in Nicaragua itself was simply outstanding, a masterpiece of planning and storytelling. If you want to see all the main highlights of Nicaragua in one day, this is definitely the tour you need!
