Top Costa Rica Nature and Wildlife Tours

It was beyond my expectations. We were able to see a Quetzal thanks to our guide’s experience and knowledge. Eleir (i hope I spell his name correctly ) was very eager to help. He, as a local dweller of the environment, is both a guide and a expert who loves his job. I am glad we had this tour with him. We really enjoyed this two and half hour in the forest. I loved the pace of the tour. Everything was all right. Many Thanks

Awesome guided experience. Our guide was very knowledgable and knew spots where we could see the wildlife. He had a high definition spotting scope and a tripod, which helped us take a closer look at the wildlife and also helped take pictures and videos from the spotting scopes. We spotted insects, lizards, snakes, bats, capuchin monkeys, birds, crabs and a toucan. Sometimes wild life can be unpredictable so unfortunately we couldn't see any frogs, sloths, parrots or the Squirrel Monkeys. We visited the park in July and thankfully it was not raining. The tour ends at the beach and the guide showed us parts of the beach which are less crowded and also helped take pictures. Overall it was a nice experience.

A long day but totally worth it. Our guide for the day was Albert. He was great, and explained everything in English and Spanish as we went along. It was a very rainy day and the volume of the waterfall was too intense for swimming, but the hike down (and back up) was beautiful. We opted to hang out in the café to dry off a bit because it was pouring rain, before we continued on to the Arenal volcano hike. Even in the rain, it’s worth doing the hike to the base of the volcano, but I imagine it’s spectacular if you are lucky enough to do it on a clear day. Albert provided facts on the volcano and was constantly on the lookout for wildlife that he pointed out as we trekked. For us though, the highlight of the day was the Mistico hanging bridges. Besides the spectacular scenery and the bridges themselves, there was plenty of wildlife to see including howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys, and even an eyelash viper. Beautiful place, and very easy to hike on the paved trails. We decided to skip the final stop at the hot springs because we had a day pass to one of the hot springs resorts the next day, and instead, had them drop us off at our hotel - Lost Iguana - which was very close to the Mistico Hanging Bridges. They were very flexible and agreeable about doing. Overall, a great day, and we slept like babies.
