Rio Celeste Excursion

Larry_K, Mar 2026

Our family of four (including two children age 13 and 8) loved this outing. Our guide Juan Carlos and driver were both fantastic. Juan Carlos provided so much information regarding local culture, customs, nature and made it very informative for us and entertaining for the kids. Rio Celeste was beautiful. The butterfly garden lunch spot was a nice surprise and we saw numerous sloths, toucans and other wildlife at the sloth park. Very well managed tour and again Juan Carlos really made this special for our family. Pack a rain poncho as the weather can be cloudy/damp in the rainforest vs warm/dry in Liberia. Bring passports (or have pictures on your phone of passports) for all members of your party as these are checked at Rio Celeste to compare to the names on your booking. We were fortunate to have passport pictures on a phone as this requirement was not listed in the reservation details.

Thank you so much for your kind review. We’re very happy to hear that your family enjoyed the Rio Celeste tour with us. Juan Carlos will be glad to know he helped make the experience special and informative for your family. We’re also happy you enjoyed the butterfly garden lunch stop and the visit to the sloth park. Thank you again for choosing Rolo Transfers and Tours. We hope to see you again in Costa Rica! 🌿

Best day in the rain forecast

Gregory_L, Jan 2026

Be prepared for possible rain in the rain forest! If raining don't let it stop you. The guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw Howler monkeys, frogs, snakes and Sloth. We learned a lot about the animals and Costa Rica eco system. An awesom day with fantastic guide and driver.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for your kind words! 🌿 We’re glad the rain didn’t stop the adventure and that your group enjoyed seeing the wildlife and learning about Costa Rica’s ecosystem. We’ll be sure to share your comments with our guide and driver. It was a pleasure having you with us! 🇨🇷
