Relaxed and Fun!
Milk a cow, feed a calf, learn about their farm and how they are working on switching to organic products. Then watch and assist while they make cheese, make your own tortilla and then eat your products. A truly great experience. Our children (4 and 6) had a wonderful time, and so did my husband and I. Thank you!

Fascinating History Tour
This was a fantastic way to experience Costa Rica and it's history. Learning how coffee, chocolate and sugar cane were and are made was fascinating! Love to learn about my second home and what the world talks about when Costa Rica is mentioned. I highly recommend this tour!

A fantastic experience
Fantastic tour, our guide Derniert was extremely knowledgeable about both the wildlife and vegetation. A very intimate tour, and we saw a Quetzal which was fantastic! Would highly recommend this tour. For the ticket you also need to book the "Heart of the Forest" ticket for the park.

Excellent experience, recommended
Excellent experience, we went with positive thoughts but low expectations in terms of the wildlife (it is wild, rarely performs on cue) , but our guide, Olger, was amazing - we saw a mottled owl, capuchin and spider monkeys, a bell bird, a toucan, a hummingbird, a viper , and briefly , a quetzal!

Hunt for a Quetzel :)
Roy was exceptionally knowledgeable about the Cloud Forest. As he explained there are species that you won’t see anywhere else. He was super patient helping us glimpse a Quetzel. We saw families of Coatys and lots of birds, Tarantula nest and he helped us understand the balance between the parasitic Ficus tree and the ectophyte plants. The sounds of the forest are unique. Definitely wouldn’t have seen a fraction of what we saw without a guide. Muddy and wet but the Hummingbirds Cafe at the end serves a welcome empanada and coffee. You have to buy a pass for the reserve in addition and they sell out so do it early.

Super fun adventure!
Wear closed toe shoes. Parking lot is very safe. Leave everything in the car that you possibly can. (Don’t even wear bobby-pins in hair). Don’t carry water or much at all. $50 Go-Pro is so with the videos! There is quite a bit of walking uphill so take breaks if needed.

Don’t sleep on this! Pun intended. But seriously, great refuge and service providers!
We were lucky enough to have Luis as our guide. He was amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable and was considerate of the forest. We were able to see more wildlife than I expected to see. Pit vipers, armadillos, several species of frogs and even a few beautiful birds nesting. My daughter was stung by a bee, which is no reflection of the property or the tour in any way. It’s a known risk of being in the jungle at night. A minor bee sting and wasn’t a concern. I bring this up, because our guide was equipped with a fist aid kit and showed compassion and had kind words to make sure we all knew it’s a standard bee sting and how to treat it for comfort. Well done Luis! If we are back in the area, I will certainly take another tour with Luis!

Amazing food made by a wonderful and funny family
We love doing local food tours but had never done a cooking class before today. My husband loves baking/cooking and we thought it was be amazing to not only eat local, but learn how to make it ourselves as well. Yolanda and Orlando were our teachers and they were fantastic throughout. We ended up with a private class which was also pretty cool. The empanadas were incredibly delicious, especially with sugar cane water and The bread was a perfect way to wrap it up. We even had extra that will make great snacks/breakfast tomorrow. The farm itself is beautiful, with stunning views. I can’t wait to get home and try to make these ourselves now. Thank you so much for this unique experience and for opening your homes to us!!

LOVED everything about...
LOVED everything about this experience! Very fun, stunning views on the forest, and some of the ziplines were literally through a cloud. I'm not an adrenaline junkie and the superman and the tarzan swing looked really scary to do, but they were actually really fun! Definitely wear long trousers, as for the top it can get chilly while you wait but there also some steep paths to walk which can make you sweat a lot. The crew was always very attentive.

A must do if you are a thrill seeker!
Each zip line was better than the next! This was also the first time I have ever zip lined in the Superman position- really cool as you traverse 500 feet above the Valley! Lastly, the Tarzan swing was absolutely incredible if you can handle a 150 foot free fall- a must do!!

Amazing river rafting experience!
Absolutely amazing experience! I was a bit nervous going into it because I had never been river rafting before but it is totally doable and enjoyable! It is evident that the guides are very knowledgeable and LOVE what they do. Unreal views of the forest, can see wildlife, super sick drive on a “tractor” to the river. Would definitely book again.

The zipline was a great...
The zipline was a great experience with fantastic views, excellent safety, and friendly guides. The bridge walks revealed more wildlife than we'd seen when hiking in the Cloud Forest Preserve. While the butterfly enclosure was not in the best condition, the butterfly guided tour was very informative. Overall we were very pleased and had a great day!
