Exceptional day at Tenorio Volcano National Park with Jostin

We spent the day exploring Tenorio Volcano National Park with Jostin, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. His knowledge was incredible—history, animals, birds, insects, vegetation—he had an answer for everything. He also has an unbelievable eye for spotting even the most hidden creatures in the rainforest, many of which we would have walked right past without him. Jostin took amazing photos throughout the tour and shared them with us at the end, which was such a thoughtful touch. He brought us to a local soda for lunch, where we swapped stories and got to know him beyond the tour. By the end of the day, he genuinely felt more like a friend than a guide. We were so impressed that we immediately asked to have him guide us again the next day. Truly a 5-star experience—highly, highly recommend!

We had an incredible experience with Río Celeste Wildlife Tours during our 3-hour visit to Tenorio National Park. Our group of four friends felt guided every step of the way by an exceptionally friendly, patient, and knowledgeable guide who was amazing at spotting wildlife — sloths, birds, frogs, and so many small details we would have never noticed. The atmosphere inside the park was peaceful and magical, especially when we reached the famous blue waterfall. Even though the park can get moderately crowded, our guide always managed to take us through quieter paths and found perfect spots for photos. The admission fee must be purchased online, and our guide helped us complete everything quickly before entering, which made the whole process very easy. Overall, it was a smooth, beautiful, and educational experience — perfect for friends, families, and nature lovers. Truly one of the highlights of our trip!
