Perfect private rainforest tour with great guide and great experiences including waterfall swimming and top mountain view - Perfect individual tour with Juan Carlos into the rainforest with waterfall, swimming, super views from the mountain top and lunch. We have seen various animals and Juan Carlos has explained a lot about the rainforest and environmental protection. We started with a short tour by offroader and then on foot through the jungle. It was just fascinating including waterfalls and swimming in the river pools. At the Mountain Top we had fresh coconut and other fruits and later on we had a delicious lunch in our own restaurant directly at the office. This tour is an insider tip as private and therefore absolutely quiet nature. The tour will start with max. 6 people carried out, there were only two of us. And if you are looking for a great night: the Paradiselodge about 300m from the office is also an absolute recommendation.

Nice Safari To Experience The Costa Rican Jungle - We had Cesar as our tour guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. And he kept the tour fun with nice facts and stories. Also, he was very sharp to point out the plants and animals we saw during the safari. And we got jump on two waterfalls! Highly recommend.

Well worth the price - Put simply, I highly recommend this tour. The tour guides were very friendly and knowledge about the rainforest. They helped find us animals and helped us get some great pictures/videos. The price was worth it and the lunch at the end of the trip was so tasty. Overall I highly recommend this tour.

Adventure - I could not have asked for a better experience and private tour. Our guide is passionate and very knowledgeable about the land. We saw red poisionous frogs, a snake, black and green frog, hawk, a stinky plant and so much more. The hikes were easy with breaks for picutres of plants or waterfalls. Our guide took plenty of pictures during our experience and lunch was amazing. Our group talked about the beans until the day we left costa rica. A must do.

Amazing the whole trip - This is with out a doubt one of the best excursions I’ve ever been on. It is run by a family who really care about the experience you have. We traveled though the jungle and hiked to several very beautiful waterfalls. They drive us to the top of the mountain where we enjoys coconut, watermelon and bananas. Once back at the house they prepared us a delicious lunch with coffee. Don’t hesitate on this tour it is awesome.

Great Experience - Had an amazing time with César and JC! A group of 7 of us went for my birthday and saw Toucans, frogs, birds and swam in waterfalls. The outlook at the end is beautiful and the lunch they provided was amazing!! JC was so thoughtful and caring throughout the tour, doing his best to make sure we didn’t miss any wildlife/plants along the way and giving detailed descriptions of everything. Great for nature and adventure lovers
