Fantastic day!
Fantastic day with our excellent guide Maurice and driver Ado. We saw many sloths, howler monkeys and poison dart frogs to name a few. Delicious lunch, beautiful stop at a waterfall and loved the hanging bridges. This was an awesome tour and we learned so much! Thank you Ado and Maurice! Second tour with Frank the Tank-highly recommend!

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 in depth tour
Amazing experience with a wide range of activities. I would say it has a little of everything, but we felt like we got a lot of everything. Each part of it was in depth, with our very knowledgeable guide having endless information about all topics. In the driving portion, we stopped to see different kinds of monkeys, iguanas, and birds. The boat tour on the river gave us more lizards, crocodiles, and many kinds of birds along the shore. Our boat captain was an expert at spotting the smallest camouflaged birds and other creatures among the trees.
Besides all the wildlife, we visited an area of the river to watch the "sand guys" working and learn about their jobs. We stopped at a rural area for authentic wood-fire cooked lunch, which was delicious and accompanied by tamarind juice and authentic coffee made with the chorreador. There was also a demonstration of indigenous pottery technique and sugar-cane pressing.
Everyone involved was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. A great way to experience so many aspects of Costa Rica in a short time: wildlife, nature, history, culture, food, coffee, etc.
We booked this tour with Wendy at Costa Rica Unique.

Low Key Taste of Costa Rica
This is a low key and fun excursion. We started with a long car ride into the rainforest where we sipped coffee and tasted some local chocolate. We then took a short stroll through a sanctuary where we got to see a sloth close up! We also got to see many other animals in the sanctuary and throughout the trip including monkeys, iguanas, snakes, butterflies and a frog. On the road to lunch we saw some Toucans thanks to our driver Dayro who made a special effort to find some for us. We ended the excursion with a dip in an easily accessible waterfall. Our guide was friendly and patient and did a good job of explaining some of the key sights and sounds of Costa Rica. This is a great excursion for those looking for a relaxed way to experience the country.

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!

Wonderful tour by Nesmer!...
Wonderful tour by Nesmer! Very kind and personable, full of information about the country, our tour stops, and the flora/fauna. His falcon-like ability to pick out hard-to-find animals was amazing. Very attentive to our needs during the long drives to/from Tamarindo including a couple extra stops along the way. Really enjoyed our
The Arenal national park was amazing, a beautiful ecosystem unlike anything in the continental U.S. Very walkable with lots of up and down slopes on wall-marked and well-maintained paths. About 25 degrees cooler than Tamarindo, as expected, and it rained for much of the walk.
For the hot springs, we were at a water park with thermal pools. We were expecting something more “natural” but a was a very nice resort with clean, enjoyable pools - very relaxing after many hours of driving and walking. Also had a good buffet lunch here. Did not include towels as expected but we managed.
Overall, an excellent experience for us that we happily recommend.

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!
