Beautiful & an unexpected workout!

5.00Andy with Bright Adventures was so good! He made the experience educational, fun and personable. We weren’t expecting the workout but it was all worth it. And we even got up close to a sloth - finally after day 4 in Costa Rica. It was the cherry on top for us on this tour. Andy and his driver were the best & lunch was delicious! Highly recommend.
Great Day Trip

5.00Eddie and Julian were fantastic! They gave us some local history and cultural knowledge as well as some beautiful stops at Portolon, Playa Linda, and Nauyaca Waterfalls. It is a bit of a mountainous drive to get to Nauyaca; we were very glad to have our own resident experts to lead the way. Beautiful scenery, great tour. Wear waterproof hiking shoes to make the experience easier on your legs and feet.
Edwin was amazing and informative!

5.00Amazing experience. Eddy was a very knowledgeable tour guide that was kind and relatable. Bryan was so helpful with taking the kids directly under the waterfall and other great spots to jump off, helping them out the entire time! The kids had the BEST time! Recommend highly, wonderful day!

5.00We loved this day! Communication with the company was easy. Our guide (Brian) and driver (Julian) were fantastic! And, I loved the food we had for lunch - it wasn't anything fancy, but it was local and delicious. Recommendation... while you don't "have" to swim I would say that you are losing out on the experience if you don't. Just wear your swimsuit and enjoy the day. Julian stayed with the car while the rest of us enjoyed our swims and the waterfalls so I felt that our stuff was safe. I was so glad I booked a tour and let someone else do the driving.
Best day ever!!!!

5.00This was the best experience you can have here in Manuel Antonio. The guide was amazing, he was very knowledgeable of everything about nature, the places we visited are exceptionally beautiful, no words can describe them. Eddie was my guide and I would definitely recommend him. He was great.
Great day out.

5.00Great day out seeing a bit more of Costa Rica and then ending at the waterfall which was very impressive. And then a good lunch to round things off. Eddie, our guide, looked after us very well and was very informative. There was also good communication before we were picked up - including messaging us to say he would be a bit late because of the roadworks. I would highly recommend this trip.

5.00Eddie was a phenomenal guide. We happened to book this tour on a day no one else did, so it became a private excursion. Eddie was extremely informative about the local flora and fauna on the trip. He taught us a lot about Costa Rica in general and was incredibly professional. He gave us the gift of time while we visited Playa Linda and Nauyaca. Playa Linda was an unexpected treat—a gorgeous deserted beach attended only by a few locals. Walking through the rainforest to the waterfall was a surreal experience. The hike back up from the waterfall was intense, so be prepared for a lot of physical exertion. The lunch that was prepared for us after the hike was delicious. All in all, I would recommend this experience one hundred times over, especially thanks to Eddie!
Super fun tour, our guide...

5.00Super fun tour, our guide was super knowledgeable about the area and the falls! The falls were gorgeous and the beach was perfect. There was an option to hike down to the falls or take a shuttle to the path, I highly recommend the shuttle as it’s about a 200-250 stair trail to the actual waterfall. Overall I would highly recommend!
Amazing!

5.00One of the best tours! The tour guide and driver went above and beyond! Not only did we see beautiful views of Costa Rica but we learned so much about the land, ate wonderful food and soaked up every minute of this experience!
