5.00This tour was outstanding!!!!! Alex was our tour guide, and he was amazing. He was great with our kids. He knew so much about the plants and animals. He had a great ability to spot animals that we would never have been able to see. The hike from the park entrance to the beach is probably only 15-20 min long, but we easily spent over 2 hrs searching for and watching the animals. We were blessed to see a sloth moving in the tree above us. We saw a Jesus lizard, monkeys, snakes, many other lizards, anteater, and many different varieties of plants. We would love to do this tour again on our next visit to Costa Rica. Note that the park tickets are not included and purchasing them can be a little tricky. It was completely worth it. The park doesn’t let in any food at all including electrolyte packets. The beach was breathtaking. It was stunning and one of the best beaches we have ever been too. It was also quite entertaining to watch everyone watch over and protect their things from curious monkeys. This tour was exactly what you think of when you think of Costa Rica.

3.00The info I received before the your was correct. The guide arrived at the pickup pont on time. I was not impressed with the tour. The guide could have put more effort to find and show us various plants and animals.

5.00Amazing experience. We were with Alexis. Even though we booked a small group, it ended up only our family. We were able to view lot of life (deer, snakes, stick bug, sloth, diff types of monkeys, and other stuff). Alexis took his time explaining and answering all our questions. Kids enjoyed it.
