Top Tamarindo Day Trips - page 3

This is the best experience we’ve had in all the times using Viator. If you can ask for the driver, you should ask for Daryo because he’s the best. He’s the guy in the picture. He took us to get breakfast first since the excursion is very early. Then we went to the waterfall and he made sure we got there early because it gets super crowded. Then he took us to the coffee and chocolate tasting. What I love about this part is how familiar the people at the coffee tasting place about coffee from the different shapes and types of coffee, how coffee affects our bodies, how they are processed. What it releases. Then we had chocolate tasting which was amazing. Never had hot cocoa with the sugar cane. Don’t forget to get the chocolate oil at the gift shop. I don’t think I can find it ANYWHERE! Then Daryio took us to sloth tour. At first we saw the sloths wayyyy up on the tree but the tour guides were prepared with a telescope. Mind you, the tour guides can’t guarantee you’ll see sloth because these are wild animals. We saw eyelash snake that is venomous, we saw strawberry poisonous frog. The tour guide took the pics up close for us. The tour guide at the sloth place is so good at spotting animals and plants and explain to us. Then we got so LUCKY. We saw a sloth VERY VERY close. We could have touched it! And it made my kids day. The teen was impressed, the 20 year olds were impressed. We got great pictures! Got to see him moved. It was THE BEST!! I love how clean all the places Daryio took us. He also let us stop by at a local fruit market to get some local fruit. Lunch was good! Get the tilapia or chicken tenders or fish tacos. The butterfly garden was small but beautiful. The tour guides were all 100 out of a 10. Very knowledgeable and they really are so proud of what they do! Highly recommended. Money well spent and Daryio took us home safely despite the crazy storm!
