5.00We learned so much about Costa Rica from Marvin. We walked out of our place in the morning and there he was ready for a full day of exploring, questions, finding animals, navigating trails and roads. Thank you!
Our favorite day in Costa Rica.

5.00What an amazing day hitting 4 of the best highlights of Costa Rica plus a fabulous Costa Rican lunch. We all loved our guide Adrian. He was so knowledgable about all things Costa Rica and was very kind. He was like the Steve Irwin of Costa Rican wildlife. He found so many animals for us. We were able to see close ups through his binoculars and he shared some great photos with us. He also gave us many helpful pointers and ideas for more things to do so I was glad we did it on our 1st day there. It was our favorite day!

5.00Adrian is an incredible guide. Kind, informative and helpful. He was patient with our family and kiddos- answered all of the questions and explained things well. He spotted things we never would have without him; even walking through parking areas Adrian was looking for wildlife for us. 10/10 if we return to Costa Rica we would seek him out for any tours.
Very good

5.00I was given a wonderful tour of the La Fortuna area by Adrianne. It exceeded my expectations. I wanted to see/understand the animal life, culture, food and general information about life in Costa Rica. We saw multiple Sloths, Howell and Spider Monkeys, small villages, waterfalls, Arenal Lake and I got a great history regarding the Arenal Volcano. He is a excellent well informed guide and I highly recommend him!
Best Tour in La Fortuna!!

5.00Adrian was absolutely amazing. He picked us up on time and took us somewhere quick for breakfast since we had an early day. He is extremely knowledgeable of his beautiful country and the animals. He took some wonderfully detailed photos of the wild life for us and sent them all to us after the tour. He was flexible with our plans and so friendly. I can’t recommend him enough!

5.00Adrian was our tour guide for the day and he was nothing short of amazing! He was personable, patient, knowledgeable, has an eagles eye for spotting wildlife, and was an all around pleasure to be around. Lunch was included with our tour and It was my birthday on our tour day. He was thoughtful enough to have the restaurant workers sing me happy birthday and bring me a cake! This is the guy you want when you want to explore La Fortuna Costa Rica and cities beyond!
The best guide ever - Adrian

5.00Wow! What a tour! Adrian was out of this world. He has an eagle eye when it comes to noticing wildlife. We were amazed throughout the entire day as he noticed various creatures in the wild and how quickly he was able to set up his telescope (20-30seconds) for us to give us an up close and personal look. All pictures you see are from my iPhone camera through his telescope and the quality is still great given the circumstances. We are very grateful to have been given the tour by him as he is forsure the nature whisperer. PURA VIDA!
