Julie_D, Sept 2026

Do This Tour w Marcos & Carlos!!!

Our guides, Marcos and Carlos, were absolutely wonderful! Incredibly knowledgeable about the plants and animals we were seeing and the history of the area. They showed us tent bats, howler monkeys, sloths, iguanas, frogs, insects and so many birds. The guys were funny and engaging and full of life! This tour was well worth the money! Lunch was delicious typical Costa Rican fare and very filling. The hiking views were breathtaking and the hot springs were a great way to end the day!

Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields

Emily_G, Sept 2026

Must do in La Fortuna!

Such a fun and informative experience! Our tour guide Pablo was very knowledgeable about the coffee and chocolate process. He answered all of our questions and was very friendly. This was a great excursion for a rainy afternoon, if anything, the rain made the experience better! The tour offers many opportunities to sample coffee and chocolate at different stages in the process which was very cool. This tour is perfect for anyone, even those who don’t like coffee or chocolate! Had a wonderful time!

Pure Trek Canyoning Adventure: 4 Rappels & Monkey Drop

Wes_C, Sept 2026

High adrenaline, super fun, very wet adventure

On a trip full of high-adventure activities (ziplining, horse back riding, ATV driving), this was the most exciting of them all! I'm afraid of heights but I felt super safe throughout the tour and managed to conquer my fears enough to do both the monkey drop and jump off the final platform. The scenery is incredible: you'll go around and through waterfalls, between huge boulders, and hike some gorgeous rainforest trails that connect the rappelling platforms. Do note that you will be dropped into a 6-foot deep pool and will descend next to and through waterfalls, so you should expect to end this adventure fully soaked through. I'd strongly recommend bringing sturdy water shoes, as you'll be walking over rough and rocky terrain as well as getting wet. Since you'll need both hands to hold the rope and control your descent, you won't be able to take any photos unless you have an action camera or something similar mounted to your helmet or chest. They do take photos and some video for you, and the pricing is quite reasonable: for $35 you get access to the full-size digital originals of all of the people on your trip.

Beautiful Views!

This was a really fun tour! Alberto was our main point of contact as our tour guide. He did a great job guiding us, along with his co-workers.

Alexzondria_M, Aug 2026

The incredible guides: Avel and Erik!

We had Avel for our sloth watching tour and Erik for our coffee, chocolate and sugarcane tour. Both of them were phenomenal! Avel showed us a baby sloth and a couple adults, ensuring we saw both kinds. Both guides seemed excited about what they do and were very knowledgeable. Erik answered all of our questions, including those not related to the tour with in depth responses and climbed the cocoa tree to get us the most perfect one he had seen! We highly recommend this tour!
