This was truly an amazing experience. Visiting the waterfalls, plantation, sanctuary, and hanging bridges were beautiful. We learned so much about the rich culture of Costa Rica and Andy was a great guide. I will definitely be recommending this excursion to my travel clients that visit the area. Andy and Kevin from the sanctuary ensured we had tons of pictures and memories and we had such a great time. I definitely recommend bringing some light snacks for earlier in the day as the lunch is a little later in your excursion but it was tasty!

We loved our trip. The whole experience was such an amazing trip. We got to see sloths, toucans, viper snakes, frogs, and monkeys. We tasted coffee and chocolate. The scenery was breathtaking. The best part were our guides. Highly recommend this trip.

This was a great tour! We upgraded to a private tour for $200 more and I’m glad we did. My son gets motion sickness and even with all the prep he still got car sick- our drive Jose acted quickly to pull over. He was excellent!
Our tour guide Alonso was really wonderful and provided so much info. It’s great to learn so much about Costa Rica while we are visiting. The waterfall was so pretty but it gets crowded with tourists and groups. The sloth sanctuary is nice and we loved seeing the sloth! Pretty sure a few of the animals were planted in spots for the guests lol but that’s okay. Bring extra cash to tip the sanctuary tour person, as well as your drive and your guide! It’s a very long day but a great option for anyone that isn’t staying central.
Response from Host, Mar 2026

Diego was our tour guide and he was excellent at his job. Very jovial and informative with his group. He pointed out many birds, frogs, snakes, sloths, foliage and truly made this tour a great memory.
William was our driver and made sure we got everywhere safely and on time. One of the better tours I have been on over the last 5 years of coming to Costa Rica and Coco beach area.
If you plan on taking this tour, and you really should, you won’t be disappointed, ask first Diego, he was truly that good at finding some of these ‘hide and seek’ creatures.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 🙌🌿
We’re very happy to hear you had such a great tour and that the wildlife sightings made it a special memory. It’s always amazing when those “hide and seek” creatures decide to show up! 🐸🦥

It’s all about the sloths. The whole trip was amazing: gorgeous waterfalls and hikes, pit vipers and poison fart frogs, an educational experience at the coffee farm, delicious local lunch, but the sloths… oh my. We were fortunate enough to get right up to one on a low branch, she just hung there and slowly gazed from one side to the next, climbing down to the ground to position to another tree. Absolutely adorable. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful. Not strenuous or hurried, this is a highly recommended day trip.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review!

Thank you for the high recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again for another amazing day trip in Costa Rica! 🦥🌿

Overall it was a nice way to see some of Costa Rica. Our first time. Shuttles were brand new. Guides friendly, helpful., knowledgeable. Waterfall is big and beautiful but overcrowded when we were there. So not fun to sit and enjoy or relax. Took a pic and ready to leave. Hanging bridges are so cool. Loved that guide took pictures with his camera of us throughout tour, no extra charge! Lunch kinda sucked. Food served was ok, meat tough, not big serving, had to purchase drinks that were worth a damn, I was starving in an hour.
Sloth walk through was extremely short. But we did see 2 baby sloths up close, they were awake fortunately, got great pics. Other pics of animals too, toucan, poisonous frog, tree frog, snake. Coffee/cacao stop was not fun for me. I don’t like coffee. It was about 20min. A few facts were interesting but boring overall. Plus end of the day just kinda wanted to get on road back home.
Huge, nice souvenir shop at end for those that like to shop!
I do think this excursion is overpriced

We had a fantastic day with Caesar, our guide. First of all, he was very fun and engaging. We saw sloths, a toucan, a small pit viper, a dart frog, all up close, crossed 3 HIGH hanging bridges, had a delicious lunch, and waded in by a nice waterfall. Oh, and if that wasn't enough, we attended a coffee and cocoa demo, where we helped roast the beans and made ourselves some all natural drinks! You won't regret going on this one. Bring rainwear if you don't like getting wet... It's a rainforest, folks!

Great adventure. Waterfall was pretty but the rainforest hike and wildlife were lamazing! We saw many sloths, snakes and birds. Abraham and Angelica were terrific guides. We did have a mix up with transportation in the morning but the company made it right and paid for uber to get me to the connecting point. Excellent service by Jose. Thanks for the recovery.

Manuel & our driver Ado were amazing guides! They took us to do so many activities. We had so much fun and felt very safe. The rainforest, hanging bridges, waterfalls, sloths, and coffee/chocolate tour were so amazing to do all in 1 day! Then we stopped at a gift shop on the way home. They were more than accommodating!

Our guide, Manuel, was excellent. He ensured our group got the best experience. We saw a 3-toed sloth up close, the tropical rainforest trip was awesome; we experienced all the “rain” portion of the rainforest, which is to be expected since we traveled in mid-July. The Heliconias Hanging Bridges is a must-do experience! The Lianos de Cortes waterfall was a sight to behold, we loved it.
Highly recommend this tour and set of activities.
Response from Host, Jul 2025

We had the most incredible time on our tour! Gray was so knowledgeable and we learned so much about the animals and vegetation of Costa Rica.

Maurice was the best tour guide. We had a great time exploring and got to see a lot of animals that we were hoping to see. We even got to see a sloth up close! We were able to do a chocolate and coffee tasting. It was super cool to see how they are produced and to be able to try fresh Costa Rican coffee! I definitely would recommend this tour. Bring comfortable shoes and a change of clothes!
