Lots of potential but wasn't the best.

nwlaicina, Feb 2026
This tour has a lot of potential but is organized by a large organization and very much feels like we were just a number to them. We also unfortunately visited on a very rainy day and the Rio Celeste was brown. The guide was very knowledgeable but didn't seem to know how to read his group of tour goers. He kept stopping to look for snakes or plants when it was POURING down rain and all of us just wanted to keep walking to stay warm. He also said we would all hike together but since my Mom was the slowest hiker we often got so far behind due to the mud that we couldn't even see the rest of the group. We were rushed through lunch only to then sit around. This tour has a lot of potential and you will see LOTS of wild life but I would suggest going with a smaller operator.

It was great experience...

It was great experience and I like that it was small group of people. Everything was great and we all love it.

This tour was an efficient way to see the Tenorio volcano area, but the "walk" was more of a hike. That was fine by me, but the group was ill prepared for that, which made it less than ideal.

Hreat day in the Costa Rica rainforest!

Río celeste, una experiencia inolvidable

La catarata en el parque tenorio y la opción de nadar en río celeste. El restaurante recomendable y sin duda una guía/chófer de calidad.
