5.00Bethshiva is an amazing guide, and also the sole owner operator of Calypso Adventures. Our experience with her was customized to make the most of our time in La Fortuna. We booked her experience from ABNB Experiences and she was incredibly responsive and has great communication. We were able to customize our day with her to meet our needs. When we arrived she was waiting with a welcoming smile and from there she took us on an excellent adventure on the trails around Volcan Arenal. She has incredible timing and has the ability to avoid the crowds, which will increase your ability to see and photograph animals. On the river, she is a goddess! We felt safe the entire time, and she was excellent at communicating what we needed to do. We saw so much wildlife on this very mellow river float! I would highly recommend booking an adventure with her. Don't hesitate to reach out before booking as Bethsiva is very good at tailoring the best experience for your visit. We did another trip with a larger company the next day, and I will say with confidence that our experience with Bethshiva and Calypso Adventures stands out from it in terms of personalization and flexibility. Muchas gracias Bethshiva, Pura Vida y hasta luego!
Just the best!

5.00Bethshiva gave us the best experience of our entire trip! She was an excellent and knowledgeable guide, as well as a blast to spend the afternoon with. The bridges were awesome, but the kayaking was seriously incredible. Would absolutely recommend any of her excursions to anyone and will definitely be calling her again on our next trip!

5.00Great afternoon! Juan Carlos and Bernie were great- saw howler and white faced monkeys, several birds and even a Jesus Christ lizard!!! Relaxing trip - rafted and this raft trip involved little need for paddling. Massages were great afterwards- very casual, local setting added to the experience.
