Great experience from before we left until we were home - Company was great with questions and quick responses. Duck was out guide and very knowledgeable. It was an amazing time. Our day went long and Duck seemed more concerned about making sure we did everything at our pace. Highly recommend!

Great day trip to the Blue River - This was a great tour. Harold aka “”Doc” was a wonderful guide. He is very knowledgeable and friendly and gave us such an informative private tour of Tenorio National Park and the Blue River. The sloth sanctuary was really interesting with so much wildlife. I highly recommend this tour!

Beautiful rain forest, must not miss! - We started at the Sloth Sanctuary where our guide Kelman showed us the red eyed tree frog, a Tapir, several sloths and an eyelash pit viper. He was very knowledgeable and a great photographer. The kids really enjoyed seeing these animals in their native habitat instead of a zoo. Then we drove up to to the volcano to hike to Rio Celeste Falls. It is about 2 miles each way, so take water, but enjoy the refreshing rain forest. The stairs to the falls are pretty steep, but it's totally worth it. Then we ate lunch in the small town and it was easily the best food I ate on the entire vacation. The chicken and rice was amazing! There was a butterfly farm at the restaurant. The only downfall of the entire day was on the way back when our van, supplied by Gabriel's, started having transmission issues. We slowly made it back to Liberia where the van died. But we were picked up by the owner of Corea Travel in a very nice van with an ice cold AC and he got us back to our resort safely.

Great Day at the Rio Celeste and Sloth Sanctuary - Our guide Harold (Duck) was very knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and was the best. He even waited with us and made sure we were ok while walking up all 284 steps from the waterfall. I would definitely recommend this tour . We had a mixed group ranging from 13- 70 plus and everyone enjoyed it. Having your own private van and guide was definitely a plus. If you’re considering this tour don’t hesitate just do it. I researched a lot of other tours and this was a great experience and value. Also it’s the rainforest so be prepared for rain ie bring a poncho and wear something you don’t mind wearing soaking wet.

CR untouched land and natural beauty - The tour guide,Duck or was it Doug? I couldn’t hear well in the back. He is very knowledgeable and is very professional. He mentions in there beginning to pace ourselves in order to conserve our energy. We had a private tour with ages as young as 2.5 year old to 68 years of age. Or day ended up being rain from morning till afternoon. The waterfall was a light blue-green so at least we got to see some color. It was beautiful but the 200 plus steps looked steep for my father and my 6 year old daughter. We were going to continue but wasn’t sure to with our little 2.5 year old. I think if the weather was nicer so that the steps weren’t wet we all would go down and take pictures. He let us know where the stops are for restrooms and where to get fruits and souvenirs. My parents interests are different from common western tourists . They enjoyed the waterfall but was hoping for a fruit marketplace (like a farmers market) to try out CR local exotic fruits that we don’t normally get to eat in the US! But nonetheless the tour was great. We saw snakes, sloth, many tropical fruits, bats, CR National bird. The lunch place was so cute and the food was authentic and flavorful. Butterfly mini farm was so cute the kids loved it! I think this was perfect for families not thrill seekers!! Pura Vida! Thank you for showing us beautiful Costa Rica! We all appreciated the beauty and hospitality.
