The best nature hike at Río Celeste with Tropiexplore! The vivid turquoise waters were even more stunning in person than in pictures. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared fascinating details about the area’s history, wildlife, and the natural phenomenon that gives the river its unique color. The hike was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, and the sights along the way—lush rainforest, cascading waterfalls, and vibrant flora—were absolutely breathtaking. Tropiexplore’s professionalism and passion for nature made the whole experience unforgettable. I highly recommend this hike for anyone visiting Costa Rica.

TropiExplore was an amazing company to work with on our trip. Jonathon was the perfect guide. Phenomenal experience. We showed up with two flat tires be he figured it all out for us. He took us to the car rental, talked/translated to the people who worked there, got us two new tires on the house, STILL took us on our tour, took us back to the rental car place to pick up our car, and ensured everything ran smoothly. ABOVE AND BEYOND.

Taking this tour with TropiExplore was a wonderful experience from start to finish. From the moment we were picked up, the guide was very attentive and professional, providing us with so much information about the area and preparing us for what we were going to see. Río Celeste is a magical place; the hike to the famous waterfall is impressive, and the color of the water looks like something from another world. The visit to Villa Maleku was a unique cultural experience. We learned about the traditions of this indigenous community, their art, and their way of life. It was very enriching to connect with such an authentic part of Costa Rica. The whole tour was very well organized, and you can feel TropiExplore’s passion for offering experiences that showcase the best of this country’s nature and culture. I definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Costa Rica!

Jonathon is a dream! He's an expert in any and all questions and brings such a great energy to the tour. We had a magical day out and I feel like the price is a steal for spending an entire day out exploring off the beaten path. If you're considering an excursion you have to go with Tropical Explore
