Great experience in La Fortuna for animal watching!
This is a great experience for adults and kids! We went with our 7 year old son and had a blast looking for the different animals in their habitat. Our tour guide, Pablo, was extremely knowledgeable about the animals. We got to see sloths, toucans, monkeys, a variety of birds and a crocodile. The staff was extremely accommodating and patient throughout the process. The snack at the end was a pleasant surprise. I would highly recommend this tour if you are traveling with young children - it is entertaining and exciting for the adults as well.

Josue is a newer guide...
Josue is a newer guide but he's hungry and humble. You can tell that he has a passion for this job and wants to do it well.
He was able to show us and inform us about many plants and animals, most importantly 4 sloths (including 1 baby sloth).
He does a great job of making sure everyone has an opportunity to get a good look through the scope. He's patient and happy to take pictures and videos with your phone through the scope too.
This can be done in its own or as part of a package with other activities.
This particular tour is located very close to La Fortuna town, if that matters to you.

Great Experience
We had an amazing experience. Our guide, Gio, was wonderful. He was knowledgeable, passionate, and personable. He went above and beyond with the entire group. We saw lots of wildlife and enjoyed the hanging bridges. We were lucky to see most of Arenal as well! Breakfast and lunch were great. The trip was long from our hotel but that was expected. The stops along the way for breakfast and other activities helped break up the time. We would recommend this excursion!

A Must for any Costa Rica Trip
We had a great experience! Shoutout to Oxaney (tour guide) and Ignacio (driver) who were super friendly and gave us a day to remember!
We had a great time seeing animals, ziplining, hot springs. Good food. Drive through the mountains at night was calm despite all of the windy roads
Pro tip: Bring some colones to give to the native population as well as tips for the guides!

Wonderful tour!
Great experience. Just know that the Skywalk is basically descending a mountain gorge with some bridges. It's beautiful but definitely a lot of "steps" definitely not recommended for anyone with mobility issues. I'm 4 months post tri mal ankle surgery, and it was definitely a challenge! I our guide Flores was wonderful. We saw a ton of crocs!!

The best waterfalls in jaco!!!
This is the ONLY waterfall experience you should do in Jaco. Jorge, the owner of the land and the tour guide is amazing at what he does. You get to explore beautiful untouched forest and waterfalls, swim in the fresh clear water, and learn about the plants and animals. This was a big highlight of my trip. Thank you for sharing your beautiful land with us Jorge.

Multi tour
If you are crunched the time and you want to have a little bit of everything in one excursion, this is a really good excursion. I got to see an active volcano, waterfalls, and the coffee tour was actually surprisingly interesting. I didn’t know a lot of things and I’m taking all this knowledge back home to make better coffee. Our tour guide kept us safe. And I had to take beautiful videos of the waterfall. I really connected with nature. Thank you so much for a beautiful care.

Magical experience!!!
This was such an amazing experience and the best horseback riding on the beach experience I’ve had. Jordan, our tour guide, was spectacular, allowing us to slow down and take photos when we wanted to. He was very attentive to the inexperienced writers in our group. The horses appear very well cared for and are very well behaved. Overall, a wonderful experience I would 100% recommend and I would do it again. One suggestion is make sure your ankles are covered either with higher boots or socks. Because the stirrups can rub against them and cause bruises. The beaches are stunning and we got to see monkeys and iguanas on our trip.

Great experience !
What a fantastic experience! Byron was an amazing guide—extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he does. We learned so much about animals and plants, had an incredible time, and enjoyed every single moment. I would 100% recommend Byron as your guide!

Juan in a Million
Our Gio Tours excursion from Puntarenas was fantastic, but honestly, our guide Juan was the absolute star and the reason it was so memorable. Without his incredible sense of humor and engaging energy, the day could have felt routine—he kept everyone laughing, relaxed, and fully involved from start to finish.
The port pickup/drop-off was seamless, the fruit market stop was delicious (those fresh mango samples were out of this world!), the Tarcoles River pontoon cruise delivered wild crocodile sightings and many birds, and the authentic Costa Rican lunch was plentiful and tasty.
Juan brought the wildlife, culture, and history to life with fun facts and great stories. Gio Tours delivered a perfect mix of adventure and local flavor, but Juan’s witty personality turned it into something special. Highly recommend—5 stars, especially for him! 🌴🐊 Thanks, Juan!

We had a great day. It...
We had a great day. It was long and I would recommend only if you are physically fit. Luis and Ricardo, along with Lassie and Punky as supervisors were great! It was about a 9 hour day. Lunch was very good. I think the efficiency between the adventure could have been better. We saw the same areas multiple times. But all in all a great day.

An Amazing Journey
Fran, Anita and Jorge were wonderful guides. They were polite, knowledgeable and easily able to communicate in Spanish and English. They offered fascinating insights into natural history, biology and Costa Rican history. The lunch served was incredible and the pace of the day's events were very manageable. It was a wonderful experience which we'll highly recommend to friends and family. Muchas gracias y pora vida!
