We did the safari float and saw so many animals. Melvin and Eddy found so many sloths and monkeys, crocs, otters, and cayman. Loved the trip. The waterfall was beautiful and we had a snack at a local farm and lunch after the trip. Fantastic group.

The tour guide, Oscar, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and genuine. He made sure my pregnant spouse was comfortable at all times. We always felt safe with our driver, Eddie. We highly recommend Blue Pass for a fun, informational and authentic experience. The experiences themselves were quite enjoyable. The one thing to know is that the boat tour, waterfall, and lunch are all at 3 separate locations with a 10 minute drive in between. The lunch was buffet style with great beverages and freshly made coffee, Costa Rican style. We greatly enjoyed ourselves.
Outstanding!

The knowledge of our guide (Andreas) and our driver (Victor). The wonderful pace of the day in the amazing quiet, beautiful natural setting. The "coffee break" and lunch were awesome - authentic, delicious, plentiful. The whole day was relaxing, educational and culturally rich. Highly recommended!
Good tour

The float was pretty. The water was low but still worth it! The hike to and from the waterfall was more strenuous than we thought but it was worth it.
