Fun day on the water and in the forest - Great tour which included a river raft safari and a hike through the rain forest. Marlene was an excellent driver and guide. Friendly and informative. Anthony our guide on the water was awesome. Did a great job of spotting wildlife and steering the boat over to get a better view. We were able to see a ton of wildlife including monkeys, coatis, crocodiles, an eagle, multiple species of birds, and bats. Our rain forest hike was excellent as well ( forgot our guides name). We saw sloths up close along with monkeys and many birds/snakes. Very enjoyable!

Amazing! Must do while in CR! - We had an amazing day! With the river tour and the rainforest, it was a day filled with animals and beautiful nature. Plus it was just my husband and me plus one guide so it felt very private. Maryann, Jose and Jessie were awesome tour guides and they spoke English great for us!

Wonderful experience for all ages - A wonderful experience with Marlene. Our family of 6 (ages 7yo-76yo) all had an amazing time. We were able to set our own pace and make a stop for supplies on the way back to our hotel.

This was overall so much... - This was overall so much fun! Our tour guide Juan was amazing! He really put such a great effort to ensure we had a great experience. He was very knowledgable and was engaging with my teens. They really liked him as well. The hike was great and saw many sloths up close. The lunch was ok. The river was beautiful, calm and saw bats and iguanas. Highly recommend it and having Juan was a bonus. 😊

Great communication and organization! - As soon as we booked, we received a personal confirmation. And because we were located out of their pick up zone, they reached out right away to confirm pick up and pricing. Really great communication, transparency and reasonable pricing! Unfortunately due to our own personal circumstances, we weren't able to go on this tour, but when we return to Costa Rica, we would definitely go through them.

Visit of a family of 6 - The visit of the sloths was exceptional! Thanks to David for his kindness and everything he showed us. The lazy baby agreed with us all. Long live Costa Rica
