Great guide

5.00Deyver was an excellent guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the flora and fauna. We learned a lot. We tried so hard to spot a quetzal, but they were just not making themselves visible. He did spot a hawk, a snake, a tarantulas, and several other bird species.

5.00Easy to find out guide Daver. Who was friendly and knowledgable. It’s not the length of the trail but the guide and being lucky to see the animals.
Wow

5.00Deyber Gonzalez was our guide. He was amazing at finding the animals and he gave us so much info about the cloud forest . I am so happy we hired a guide as he was able to point out and spot a quetzal which was the highlight of our tour.
For tours like this a guide is needed!

4.00The tour guide was nice, we saw some wild life and the Quetzal, which made this activity worth it. For the rest, the wild life was pretty normal and also it gets a bit uncomfortable with the amount of groups that are in the trail at the same time, you don’t really get to enjoy the nature with the noise and crowds. Also the price of the guide we consider it a bit expensive for only 1 hour of tour, but at the same time is needed since you need their experience and good binoculars, so it’s 50-50. If you want to be sneaky you could take your binoculars (only if they are really good) and be next to the crowds to help you spot the wild life.

5.00Beautiful way to start the day and get acquainted with the cloud forest. We enjoyed learning about the plants and saw many different species! Super happy to have seen bats, tarantula, toucan and even a monkey in the beginning! Shoutout to our wonderful guide (Deyber Gonzalez) who answered all of our questions and brought a passionate lens to our experience!
The best way to explore cloud forest

5.00This tour was absolutely the best experience of our entire trip. Compared to other similar tours, it offers excellent value for money. On the day of our tour, there were no other participants, so it was kindly upgraded to a private tour for just the two of us. Our tour guide, Deyber, was incredibly knowledgeable. He not only explained the local ecosystems, plants, and wildlife in great detail, but also helped us take beautiful photos along the way. In addition, he could mimic the calls of various birds and monkeys to help us spot them, which made the experience even more engaging and fun. We would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!
Great!

5.00It was amazing, our guide Deybar was very knowledgeable and kind. We were only able to see animals because of him so it was totally worth it. We ran a little late but he messaged me so we were able to catch up with the group. I accidentally booked the wrong day and he rescheduled it very easily.
Serene park that shows off the xcellent conservation

4.00We did the trip as a self guided trip as our guide left without us as we were a little late though the staff tried to reach out to the guide who didn't make any attempt to get in contact with us even while we were going past all the guided groups. The park is beautiful, felt serene with the fog and low hanging clouds touching the tops of the mountains.
Must Do Amazing Experience

5.00Vinnie was absolutely amazing. He was so patients with my friend and me. He showed me how to take iPhone pictures thru his telescope, he took photos of us & a selfie with us. My friend & I are both afraid of heights. Vinnie was so kind and concerned for our comfort that we were relaxed & excited for more bridges by the 3rd bridge! We saw quetzals, monkeys & beautiful plants. Vinnie shared his wealth of knowledge about the area- historically, ecologically, & geographically. So interesting. One of the best tours we have been on!!!!
