Sloth tour

5.00We had already had two excursions during our trip but we still wanted to see the sloths and maybe birds. JJ took time to help us book an excursion that fit our bill perfectly! We were able to see the sloths plus eyelash vipers, green tree frog and poison dart frog and numerous native trees! Thank you so much, JJ, for helping us cross that off our list!

5.00I went with friends for the rainforest/coffee/chocolate/waterfall tour and it was perfect!! Ricardo and Erick were amazing guides and helped me practice my Spanish :-) They were very knowledgeable and gave us lots of advice for the rest of our stay. We saw so many unique animals and sights, and learned a lot. I highly recommend going on this tour with them! Mi tentativa en español: Erick y Ricardo fueron guías fabulosos. Para el tour, fuimos a una cascada, caminamos en la selva, y aprendimos sobre el chocolate, el café, la piña, y el azúcar. Recomiendo que haces este tour con Erick y Ricardo si quieres una buena experiencia :-)
Excellent service and very knowledgeable!

5.00Exceeded expectations, our guide Ricardo was extremely knowledgeable and charismatic. The riverboat captain found lots of wildlife. Lunch was delicious and well prepared. The rain forest tour was interesting with lots of animals in a relatively small area. We saw sloths, toucans, crocodiles, heron, bats, osprey, monkeys, many other smaller bird, and dart frogs. Thank you for wonderful tour. Pura Vida!
A great tour. Really glad we chose it

5.00Could not have been better. We saw everything we wanted to see. Waterfall was beautiful. Rainforest very interesting and our guides were very helpful in locating, showing us and helping us photograph the sloths, birds, vipers and other wildlife. Chocolate, coffee and pineapple stations were informative and delicious. Our guide Ricardo was super helpful. We are both senior citizens and Ricardo was patient and helped us over the spots of rough terrain we were bound to encounter. Can't say enough good about Ricardo. We stopped for lunch at a cute little local place where the food was the best we have had since arriving in Costa Rica. Overall just a great day and a great tour with Ricardo, a great tour guide.
Highly recommend

5.00Was a wonderful experience, and I definitely would recommend it to anyone considering a tour of the area. Ricardo's knowledge of the local wildlife was impressive and he was able to easily able to point out many different species on our trip, including a sudden stop on the side of the road when he spotted a sloth on a treetop a half mile away. His nickname of "eagle eyes' is well deserved. Eric's driving left us feeling at ease for the trip, letting us relax and enjoy the day. Overall a great outing with 2 very pleasant people.
Great experience

5.00Tour was amazing. Larry at the front desk was really helpful getting us all setup. Our guide was a great guy as well! Zip lines had the most incredible views, and the rainforest waterside is a must!
Great Trip to the Rainforest with Ricardo!

5.00My husband and I had a wonderful experience with on the beach tours. They were so friendly and helpful and when my husband and myself were feeling sick they were so accommodating. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. JJ and Maria were by far the best guides to ask for and made our experience the best to cherish in our memories!
