This tour was great,...

This tour was great, Gabriel was on time for our hotel pickup and communicated with us the night before to ensure that our tour was off to a smooth start. Gabriel was informative, giving us interesting information about the history of Panama and many of the landmarks we passed. He was patient with our group and allowed us to tour on a flexible schedule that suited our pace and liking. Our group had a small child, young adult males, and older adults, who all found a part of the tour that was interesting and enjoyable for them. Overall, it was a great choice for our visit to Panama and we would definitely recommend this experience to other travelers.

Superb Experience from Awesome Company

We went as group of 4 guys. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They have so.much to do and the best staff. The park is super professional and safe. We did ziplining and 3 hour ATV tour. The guides do a great job making your experience memorable. Our guides took group pictures, made every one feel safe and were so friendly. The ziplines are so much fun and they make sure everyone is comfortable. Kia was our main guide and she was great. We all loved her and she took selfie with group. The Atv rental was the highlight with high quality atvs and 3 hours of breathtaking views and fun trails. Glenn was knowledgeable and a super fun guide. He made sure we had fun and as group of 4 guys, let is get after it. He even spotted a sloth for us. The Atv experience was awesome and can't recommend it enough. We were highly impressed and had a fantastic experience.

It was such a great...

It was such a great experience! Our guide “Oxani” I hope I spelled that right, she was so great. Very very knowledgeable of the park and the surrounding areas we traveled through. Very knowledgeable of the conservation efforts that Costa Rica has. We asked her all kinds of questions and she answered each one. The other couple we were with was great too. The views at the resort were amazing! Thank you again!!

Our guides were very friendly through the entire day. The ride to get to the river was a little long, but we stopped on the way and had juice and the choice of some amazing empanadas. The rafting was a great experience our entire family really enjoyed it ! The lunch that was provided by was also great!

Venado Caves Underground Experience from La Fortuna

Arielle_H, Jun 2026

Incredibly unique...

Incredibly unique experience, this is one of the only caves in Costa Rica that is open to visitors. You will be scrambling over and ducking under rocks, hiking in water and definitely getting wet in the waterfall, but it was very exciting. Our guide was incredibly helpful and encouraging when I was afraid to go through some of the smaller (optional) crawl spaces. I’ve toured a few caves in the United States and this was on a completely different level. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a unique adventure (and doesn’t mind a few spiders).

Monteverde Cloud Forest Night Wildlife Experience

Michelle_D, Apr 2026

The guided rainforest...

The guided rainforest night hike was honestly one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had. Being in the rainforest after dark was both exciting and a little surreal, and we saw so much wildlife! I was able to spot a viper, multiple snakes, toucans, scorpions and even tarantulas, which was incredible. Our guides made the whole experience even better. They were extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly where to look to find these animals, and they kept everyone engaged the entire time with interesting facts and stories. You can tell they’re really passionate about what they do. If you’re even thinking about doing a night hike, I highly recommend it—it’s such a unique way to experience the rainforest!
