5.00Amazing nature. All the guides were fantastic. They knew so much and helped us see so much wildlife. The location was wonderful. The overnight hike and lodging made seeing the jungle memorable. Also liked the time in the water. Worth every penny.

5.00the tours were amazing for viewing the vast wildlife of costa rica, and the small groups allow for a family like experience even for a solo traveler like i was. Sukia was very informative and helpful with any questions/concerns and the tour guides were very knowledgeable on the countries history, flora & fauna some of the hikes (especially in San Pedrillo) are on the more extreme side, but in this way you can see the true jungle and what it has to offer, as well as the differences between primary and secondary forest. there are so many secrets that lie in the jungle and being a part of this group left me with unforgettable experiences! would definitely do this again! :)
Overnight at Sirena Station … WOW!

5.00Wow! What a challenging, fun, blow-up-your-comfort-zone experience this has been! 24 hours deep in the rainforest… two different boat rides with beach landings brought us to Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica. We stayed overnight in the Sirena ranger station and hiked a total of 19 miles … mostly in the rain and at times, ankle deep mud. We saw so many animals and the sound (especially when the Howler Monkeys started up) was amazing - think Jurassic Park. Open air bunk beds with mosquito netting was where we slept. The park is highly protected and getting in to the park was as tight as TSA… no food, no single use plastics, nothing flammable…. Bags were checked and so were passports. Throughout the park there are no paper towels, no hot water, zero connectivity. We were wet the whole time. At some point you just accept that. Our guide Marlon Chacon Sanchez was amazing! We hiked, waded through rivers, climbed up and down and all over! If you want an amazing experience that will challenge you beyond what you think you are capable of… reach out to Marlon or Sukia travel. I should add that you don’t have to hike 19 miles! I’m sure Sukia will tailor your tour to the level you are looking for 😊
Just fantastic

5.00Really a great tour. I'm very excited. All guides were super nice and very serious and concerned with safety! An experience I can only recommend! The price-performance ratio is fully fine for what you get offered.
I came to see wildlife, and wildlife I saw

5.00I had a great time on the 5 day wildlife tour with Sukia Travel. The highlight was the overnight stay at the Sirena Station. Our guide Evaristo was friendly and was very good at finding animals. I have spent some time in rainforests in the past and this was by far my best rainforest wildlife viewing experience. The other activities were also very worthwhile and led by knowledgeable guides. The staff at Sukia, especially Estefanie who was in charge of looking after me, were also very responsive to my needs. The hostel was clean. I would highly recommend this package for people interested in wildlife watching.

5.00Unlike no place I have visited before, Corcovado is an experience I will cherish for the rest of my life. Estefanie at Sukia makes it her mission to welcome and take care of all the visitors to the hostel, we felt very welcome. The hostel is up to Central American standards: we stayed in dorms. If you want your Corcovado trip organised and activities bokked and ready for you, you can't go wrong with Sukia. I highly recommend the 5 day tour.
Great wildlife tour in Corcovado!

5.00I had a great time with Sukia Travel in Corcovado , highly recommend the wildlife tour :) First the night walk tour with Sergio was really cool, we saw spiders, snakes and colourful frogs! Sergio wouldn’t give up till we saw them was great. Then the overnight stay in Corcovado with Michael as a tour guide through it was truly an awesome experience - we saw tapirs, a bunch of kwatis, pigs, all four type of monkeys, tucans, a sloth, many many birds - was amazing! Just wish we would’ve spent more time in the park the second day. Also would be great if they would let even less people in but overall didn’t feel crowded , our small group was really nice and we had a fun time. Without Michael we would not have seen most the animals, we learned a lot from him and he took some amazing pictures. Thanks again Michael! The Cano Island snorkelling trip was also a lot of fun, swam with turtles and lots of colourful fishes! And at end of the tour the mangrove boat return with Charlie was awesome too, saw lots of birds (also the stick bird!) , some crocodiles, monkeys…the mangroves were beautiful. Thanks again all for then good times, also Estefanie for the nice introduction and smooth logistics! Would love to come again ( and recoup my sunglasses from some monkey in the park hah) - next time would love to see the pumas and jaguars ! Pura vida :)
Magical trip!

5.00The experience with Sukia Travel was just amazing! It was organized perfectly and the guides were awesome! We learned so much about the country and the jungle as well as the whole ecosystem and we saw so many animals and amazing plants. You really notice that the guides want you to have the best experience ever! They answered all our questions. The stay in Sirena at Corcovado was magical, we saw a tapir eating leaves on the beach. That was unforgettable. But also just hearing the jungle sounds with all the birds and monkeys was so cool! And we loved how the guides wanted you to see everything but at the same time really respected the nature and the space of the animals and were not just bothering them so we can get closer. That was very positive in our opinion! It was perfect! Thank you so much!
A wonderful experience

5.00Those from Sukia received me at the Puerto Drake airport with great courtesy and professionalism. The accommodation, rustic but perfectly up to my expectations. Mexican food, prepared with a lot of love by Kendar and very pleasant talks in the afternoon with Estefanía, always attentive to my orders. All the Hostel staff are very friendly, informal and attentive to my demands. The tours are perfectly organized, with competent, patient and friendly guides. I absolutely recommend it. It has been 5 unforgettable days. I have walked through the primary forest, I have gone snorkeling, the mangrove tour... It has been a dream. Thanks guys!
A school of life!
