    I loved this experience. The views were amazing! Our tour guides were awesome and taught us a lot about Costa Rica and the locations we were going to. Although sadly we were not able to see the bright blue waters of Rio Celeste due to the rain showers it was still a beautiful and amazing time. Worth it 100%

    This tour was an absolute highlight of my time in Costa Rica! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, thanks to the incredible organization and expertise of our driver, Diego, and our guide, Kevin. Both were exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the local flora, fauna, and culture throughout the day. Their friendly and approachable demeanor made the entire group feel comfortable and engaged. The celestial beauty of La Celeste waterfall truly lives up to its name – the vibrant turquoise waters were breathtaking. Having the opportunity to witness such a natural wonder was an unforgettable experience. Following that, the fantastic local lunch provided was a delicious taste of authentic Costa Rican cuisine. It was a perfect way to refuel and appreciate the local flavors. However, the true gem of the tour was the sloth sanctuary. Getting up close (at a respectful distance, of course!) to these gentle creatures was a dream come true. Kevin's deep understanding of sloth behavior and conservation efforts made the visit both educational and heartwarming. It was evident how much the sanctuary cares for these animals. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Costa Rica. Diego's safe and efficient driving and Kevin's engaging guidance created a truly memorable and enriching day. Don't miss out on this fantastic combination of natural beauty, delicious food, and incredible wildlife encounters!

    This tour was very organized and the guides were friendly and knowledgable. The pickup/drop off was seamless - they even arrived early! We appreciated that we had plenty of time to enjoy the waterfall, rainforest, and sloth sanctuary. The rainforest walk is fairly easy, however there is a lot of stairs (up and down) to go to the waterfall. It's not bad, but could be strenuous for some. My only note is that we felt that the group was too large as you ended up waiting to take turns to look at the sloths through the scopes.

    Absolutely epic. Our guide Kevin Pina was informative and energetic. Frank was a fantastic driver who handled the roads with care. The views were spectacular, the food was amazing, and we got to see so much wildlife including 3 sloths, owls, and more. We'll worth waking up early on vacation. Highly recommend!
