Take this hiking challenge, you won’t regret it!

5.00Ely was great to deal with and accommodated me in the slow season to perform this tour even though I was the only participant! Jose was my tour guide and he did a fabulous job . He is very knowledgeable about the region and all its wildlife species. We saw fantastic wildlife both on the way to and inside Corcovado National Park La Leona Ranger Station. The hiking was moderately to very strenuous in the high heat and humidity, so you have to be cautious how far you hike in, because you have to turn around and hike back out! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone not afraid of the hiking involved!
Top organized tour (boat in and boat out with an overnight stay) through Corcovado Park.

5.00One must expect that some animals will not be seen. The guide was local and made the best of the one and a half days.

5.00We already contacted Ely in January to book our two-day tour. Everything went quickly and easily via WhatsApp. Something for now, but Ely never kept us waiting. The day before the tour we made an appointment and got last information and clarified questions. Originally we wanted to do a boat in/ hike out tour, but then we could decide very spontaneously differently. Thank you! With our guide Oscar we had a great person with us who really wanted to show us everything and could. He knew the best places to watch animals and also told us a lot about the forest/jungle and its plants. Our group was nice and small 4 people in total, so everyone had the opportunity to really see everything and listen to the explanations. Thank you Oscar! The two days were really a highlight on our trip.
Best guided tour in Costa Rica if you want to see wildlife

5.00We booked the boat in boat out (2days, 1 night in the Sirena Ranger Station) Corcovado guided tour via Ely Lopez. His colleague José was our tour guide. He put a lot of effort into the game of spotting all different kinds of animals and explaining the interrelationship between the animals, forests, weather and us humans. We answered all our questions, spottet so many beautiful animals for us and also took pictures with our phones through his telescope for us. In general it was a great experience and the best guided tour we had in our costa rica trip. Thank you so much Ely and José. It's totally worth the time and price! We would totally recommend the tour. Best regards, Christina and Christopher

5.00We had an absolutely amazing time in the Corcovado national park. José was our guide and he poured his whole heart into the tour and showing us as many animals as possible without disturbing them in their natural habitat. We ended up seeing tapirs, snakes, monkeys, macaws, sloths and much more! Definitely our highlight in Costa Rica. Thanks you Ely and José!

Boat-in &hike-out

5.00Did the boat-in and hike-out tour (approx. 20 km) with Giovanny. It was a great but also exhausting experience. Giovanny was a fantastic guide! He explained a lot about Corcovado and Costa Rica, he had answers for pretty much any question that the group asked. The first day consisted of a few smaller 'hikes' around the park, where Geovanny was brilliant at spotting animals we wanted to see and you could tell how much he enjoyed his job. For the hike out we left the Ranger Station at around 5am to start our hike out, and arrived at Carate at 2pm. A tough hike through forest and across beaches, (the cold drinks waiting at the end was very appreciated!). Communication through Ely was really easy and straight forward, he made sure to let us know what we needed to bring in advance &double checked everything again the day beforehand.
