Wonderful Day of Sightseeing!
Dayro was an excellent guide. He picked us up at the W Costa Rica. His vehicle was spotless. Our day started at the Llanos de Cortez Waterfall. We arrived early so there was virtually no one there, but the site became more crowded as time passed. Dayro brought his own telescope so that we could better see the monkeys in the trees. The sloth and coffee/chocolate tours were right next to each other in Bijagua. Lunch was at El Sabor de Dona Carmen, a five minute ride from the sloths/coffee. Traditional Casado meal. The drive was long, but scenery was beautiful.

Must do!
This was a once in lifetime experience and we will have amazing memories for a lifetime. The tour is physically demanding as a multi terrain hike. Our guide Christian was absolutely fantastic! He was knowledgeable and put all of his guests safety first. This tour really is a must do! As a tip, we recommend standing in the bed of the truck on the way to the drop off point to start your adventure!! 10/5 stars!

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!

Amazing! We went last...
Amazing! We went last month and I can’t remember our guides name but he was amazing. Very informed and answered any questions we had about the area. Honestly he was AMAZING. The sloth tour was amazing as well. Nothing crazy exotic but the guide for that pointed out all native animals and showed us how to take expert photos. Had a beautiful time and loved the food

See costa ricas natural beauty in a day!
This was a long but well organized tour from our all inclusive resort inland to see the rainforest near La Fortuna. It was a good way to get a taste of Costa Rica in a day; we enjoyed some good food, our guide was very helpful on our hike and pointed out lots of wildlife; make sure to bring swimsuits for the thermal pools, we totally forgot and paid a fortune for some when we got there, still worth it though

Great day!
Great day with Ado our driver and Manuel our tour guide. Very informative, well organized and fun! Lots of wildlife on the river including white face monkeys and crocodiles. Delicious lunch and had fun feeding the iguanas. Definitely a worthwhile tour!

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.

Fun day on the water and in the forest
Great tour which included a river raft safari and a hike through the rain forest. Marlene was an excellent driver and guide. Friendly and informative. Anthony our guide on the water was awesome. Did a great job of spotting wildlife and steering the boat over to get a better view. We were able to see a ton of wildlife including monkeys, coatis, crocodiles, an eagle, multiple species of birds, and bats. Our rain forest hike was excellent as well ( forgot our guides name). We saw sloths up close along with monkeys and many birds/snakes. Very enjoyable!

Unexpectedly delightful
This was an amazing hike with an amazing guide. He will go at whatever pace you want and for me, that's huge. It is so private even if you pass other groups. The waterfall is beautiful and so fun to get to. It is for people in moderately fit condition but nothing ridiculous. If you do the lunch, it was superb! An unexpected surprise! The tilapia and the breading on it was better than I've had anywhere in the world which shocked me. Did not expect it to be as wonderful as it was! Also, they're are tons of other tours to this but this is genuinely the closest starting point so you dont have to stay wait long! I felt bad for the other groups.

This was such an amazing...
This was such an amazing excursion that had a great balance of adventure and relaxation. Our tour guide Juan was the best and made it that much more enjoyable. I world absolutely recommend. Thank you so much for marking my 45th birthday celebration a memorable one.

Boom was our tour guide....
Boom was our tour guide. Absolutely awesome guide and really made the entire trip a blast. We booked a private tour so it was more personal but even with a group this would be fun. The hike portion it rained which actually made it more fun. We got to see some wildlife come to life with the rain. The hot springs were fun as well. Sadly the rain caused the water to be too murky for us to swim under it.

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!
