    Stacy_H, May 2026
    This whole experience was awesome! Although the description says 6 to 7 hours our guide, Pablo made absolutely sure that we experienced every single thing to the fullest- saw every plant and animal that we could! would not give up on the day until we saw sloths and was with us for a 12 hour day! So knowledgeable about all the plants! The coffee, cocoa, rainforest walks, lunch!!! It was all EXCELLENT. Pablo was the best guide!!!

    Best Day!

    Our experience was solid five star! Our guide, Pablo was knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. Each stop we made was flawless regarding arrival and experience. Pablo led us to see so many incredible sights and wildlife, making our day a perfect one! Must also mention he chose a delicious lunch spot! Highly recommend!

    Amazing Experience!!!

    I would 100% recommend this tour with Costa Rica One on One Tours! I went with my husband and two boys, ages 7 and 9. Our guide was Manuel and he made the experience exceptional for us all! He was wonderful with the boys! This private tour allowed us to immerse ourselves in so much Costa Rican goodness in just one day. Manuel had personal touches and surprises along the way that made it even more special!! Thank you Manuel! Hopefully we’ll see you again during our next visit to your beautiful country!!!

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for choosing Costa Rica One on One! Manuel loved every moment with your family — your boys made the day extra special! Hope to see you all back soon!

    Must book!

    Ashley_B, Feb 2026
    There are so many different options for excursions it can feel overwhelming, but we are so glad we booked this one! Manuel is an amazing guide!! This tour is fully private and leaves early, so you get to all the good spots before there’s huge crowds. We had the absolute best time - when we return to Costa Rica we will definitely be reaching out to Manuel and Laura to plan another excursion! Seriously, do yourself a favor and book this trip!

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you so much, Ashley, for your kind words. Manuel truly enjoyed spending the day with you both — it’s always special for us to share Costa Rica with such a fun and easygoing couple. We’re really glad you chose our Private Rainforest Day Tour and that the early start helped you enjoy the waterfalls, wildlife, and rainforest without the big crowds. That quiet time in nature makes a big difference. Thank you for trusting Costa Rica One on One Tours. We’ll be happy to help you plan your next adventure when you come back to Costa Rica.
