Amazing hikes with Eric, 100% recommended
azucarheartc,May 14, 2026

5.00This review is listed for the Ocean Hike, but I’ve actully had three hiking tours with Eric, all of which have been wonderfu with amazing views. I did the hikes for the blue falls in Bajos del Toro, Pico Blanco, and of course this one. Ocean/beach hike: the ocean views are beautiful - the water is so vibrant. It is a very hot and humid hike though (but you do have time to swim at a beach later). I saw some iguanas and a bunch of hermit crabs at the last beach. Saw a sloth on the trail too! Breakfast and snacks were included; breakfast was great (Bajos del Toro: stunning blue waterfalls and beautiful countryside farmland, and delicious breakfast and lunch (great way to try traditional food) Pico Blanco: lovely mountain and city views and a small waterfall at the end, snacks provided) Eric is fantastic. He’s very friendly and communicative, and was always on time. During the trails, he’s attentative and points out various plants and animals along the way. He makes sure you know where to step if needed. I’ve also had the chance to meet some cool people during the hikes who were lovely to chat with! 100% recommended. Thank you, Eric, for three awesome hikes!
This tour was the highlight of our trip!

5.00This tour was the highlight of our trip! If you are looking for an awesome hike to secluded beaches, this is for you. Beautiful views and moderate exercise in the peaceful jungle. We saw great wildlife, including monkeys! Eric was the best guide and we would absolutely do another excursion with him when we return.
