5.00What an amazing tour! Guide Kim and driver Gigi were so genuinely passionate about each stop and made sure our entire experience was unforgettable. They both went above and beyond the tour description and made our previous tour in Panama look soooo bad in comparison. We saw many sloths, monkeys, and got incredible photos up close.
Incredible experience with Evelyn!

5.00Walking through the rainforest is just magical. We had the chance of being with Sheyy, who explained every species we encountered. We literally tasted what the forest offered, as locals and indigenous people do. That was love at first sight. I am already missing it.
Guided Tour at Cahuita National Park w/ Rishelyn

5.00Our guide was Rishelyn, she was incredible! We have done a few guided tours while in Costa Rica but Rishelyns tour was exceptional, she really has eagle eyes! we saw so much wildlife including the tiniest baby eyelash pit viper that she spotted as well as a family of little baby bats. She was also very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and told us about medicinal plants, trees and plants significant to the indigenous bribri culture and about the favored habitats of the animals we saw. If you are wanting to see tons of wildlife and learn more about the jungle as well I would highly recommend Rishelyn!
Excellent adventure in Costa Rica

5.00My friend and I we took a private tour with the most amazing tour guides and driver.yiyi and fio we’re very kind and accommodating, they educated all the way over to the falls and all the way to the national park where we saw monkeys and little tiny baby yellow snakes. They are kind and knowledgeable and very safe in our van. We highly recommend that you ask for them when you come on this tour because you will have an amazing experience and see the most beautiful parts of Costa Rica. We are grateful for choosing them for our Costa Rica adventure.
Great Day

5.00Rosa and Jose were fantastic. They tailored the tour how we wanted and were incredibly friendly. A wonderful trip to the Poas volcano, the Paz waterfalls and Starbucks coffee farm. Highly recommend this day trip from San Jose.
Worth the visit and f you don’t mind all the tourists

4.00It relatively not a big park, only one trail and lots of people. All those noisy tourists wanting to get a close up with their phones scare away the wild life. Having said that, this natural piece of land is full of beautiful unexpected flora and fauna, critters all over and guides are knowledgeable. It’s not that far from cruise terminal in Puerto Limon and locals are very friendly and polite. Beware though of locals asking for a tip to use side of stalls to take pictures of sloths. Beach is beautiful, but water can be rough and often closed for swimming. Photo ops are amazing.
Great time despite the rain!
