    Highly recommend this excursion! We had Duck as our tour guide and he was a wealth of information and very entertaining. We were able to see so much wildlife in the rainforest. Lunch was delicious. We enjoyed all parts of the tour - would recommend to anyone.

    We had a great experience with Duck. He was very knowledgeable. We got great pics of the animals, loved our hike to the waterfall and and a amazing taste of local cuisine. It was tour with just my family including two 19 year olds, who had a blast.

    Our family of 4 (2 parents and 2 older teens) had a great time on this adventure. We got to hike, see the beautiful waterfall, had a delicious lunch with stunning butterflies and saw every animal we could have hoped for at the sanctuary! Highly recommend! Sergio was the best!

    Thank you so much for visit Costa Rica ! It’s was a pleasure to make your experience enjoyable!

    Beautiful rain forest, must not miss!

    We started at the Sloth Sanctuary where our guide Kelman showed us the red eyed tree frog, a Tapir, several sloths and an eyelash pit viper. He was very knowledgeable and a great photographer. The kids really enjoyed seeing these animals in their native habitat instead of a zoo. Then we drove up to to the volcano to hike to Rio Celeste Falls. It is about 2 miles each way, so take water, but enjoy the refreshing rain forest. The stairs to the falls are pretty steep, but it's totally worth it. Then we ate lunch in the small town and it was easily the best food I ate on the entire vacation. The chicken and rice was amazing! There was a butterfly farm at the restaurant. The only downfall of the entire day was on the way back when our van, supplied by Gabriel's, started having transmission issues. We slowly made it back to Liberia where the van died. But we were picked up by the owner of Corea Travel in a very nice van with an ice cold AC and he got us back to our resort safely.

    Thank you so much for trusting in Us . It was a pleasure to show a little bit of Costa Rica .

    Great Day at the Rio Celeste and Sloth Sanctuary

    Our guide Harold (Duck) was very knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and was the best. He even waited with us and made sure we were ok while walking up all 284 steps from the waterfall. I would definitely recommend this tour . We had a mixed group ranging from 13- 70 plus and everyone enjoyed it. Having your own private van and guide was definitely a plus. If you’re considering this tour don’t hesitate just do it. I researched a lot of other tours and this was a great experience and value. Also it’s the rainforest so be prepared for rain ie bring a poncho and wear something you don’t mind wearing soaking wet.
