Amazing excursion - Our guide was fantastic. During the trip to the area he was able to provide historical facts and information about the local culture and geography. Once at sloth land he was able to find multiple sloths hiding in the canopy. We also saw a few frogs and birds. The chocolate and coffee tours were also very informative and our guide was very knowledgeable.

Rainforest, hot springs, waterfall - Great excursion! Isaac was a great tour guide and Douglas was a great driver getting us from place to place! Highlights were all the wild life. We saw Sloths, frogs, a porcupine, and a howler monkey. We even stopped on the road because he spotted a toucan along the way!

Amazing all day excursion. - We had so much fun today from the waterfall to the hot springs with mud bath. Then had an authentic lunch which was fabulous. Ended at the rain forest and saw sloths, frogs, Mexican porky pine, howler monkey and a toucan. Isaac was an awesome guide from starting the trip with the ins and out of Costa Rica to knowing everything there is to know about the rain forest and its inhabitants. Douglas was are driver and he did a great job as well. Would recommend this trip to anyone.

Fantastic excursion! - We had a wonderful experience on our tour. Our tour guide Isaac was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend the day with. Our driver Douglas was also very courteous and very safe. They offered to stop at a shop on the way back to our resort, even after a long day. If you can get Isaac and Douglas as your guides, I highly recommend them!

Costa Rica Amazing! - Richard was an incredible guide! He shared fascinating history about the country while also showing us amazing wildlife—including sloths, frogs, birds, monkeys, and even a porcupine. His knowledge was truly impressive, and he spoke almost perfect English while also taking the time to teach us a little Spanish along the way. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Richard and absolutely loved the trip!
