Dooo it! - This tour was a great value! We were picked up at our hotel, driven around all day. Hiked in a rainforest, saw a waterfall, ate a nice lunch, made our own chocolate, and did a little shopping, too. Jorge was a great guide. He stopped several times so we could take pictures of monkeys and toucans. He was very patient and kept a sharp eye out for things worth seeing all along the way. Definitely recommend.

Amazing Experience! - We went on the Rio Celeste Waterfalls tour with Jorge and we had a great time! The drive from Tamarindo to the Tenorio Volcano National Park is pretty long but Jorge made it a breeze! He was fun, very patient with our requests, great driver and gave us all sort of suggestions and tips! Also very patient with my Spanish, very much appreciated! Definitely recommended!

Amazing to view this waterfall with a turquoise pool - The waterfall is in Tenorio National Park. It is not a long hike to the waterfall but there are 250 steps down. And then you must climb back up. But well worth seeing this beautiful waterfall . It started raining while were there and we were glad to have raincoats and hiking boots on.
We continued onwards to see the other areas - an overlook, sulphur spring, bubbling brook and then where the two rivers meet and turn blue. Amazing!
