Great value for money - Philippe and our Driver were wonderful. The waterfalls Rio, Celeste, the lunch we had listening to cicadas and watching tucans was pretty memorable. The sloth sanctuary was pretty kick ass too. Every guide was helpful and kind. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful Tour - We had a wonderful tour with Julio Ceasar. Would happily join any tours he gives in the future. We saw sloths, poison dart frogs, vipers, toucans and other amazing creatures

Great trip with driver Jorge and guide Kevin Penia(sp)? Nice to relax on bus, safe driving and information provided. - Great tour to see both waterfalls and many native animals. Plenty of time to enjoy each activity, take pictures. Great information and we had a fun group. Nice that they are not too large. Had enough breaks and restrooms throughout day. Thank you! Had a great time!

We had an great time... - We had an great time hiking through the rainforest and seeing the beautiful scenery! The guides were knowledgeable and made the experience enjoyable. We were able to see butterflies, sloths, monkeys, pit vipers, and various birds at the animal sanctuary. The hike was not very challenging, but the stairs to get to the waterfall were a bit difficult. The beautiful waterfall at the end was so worth it! We would highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to see waterfalls and the amazing animals of Costa Rica!

Worth the visit - This tour was a full day from Tamarindo it took 13 hrs. The tour company doesn't inform you that you will be making a breakfast stop, so that added to our already long day. Besides that, the tour was great. Very informative & beautiful.

Nice places, horrible guide. - The Sloth visitor centre was fantastic! The waterfalls were fine. The price was fine. The greatest disappointment and shock was our so-called guide. He was dreadful. He slept in the van and when he was not sleeping he was on his phone watching YouTube videos. I know this because I was sitting right behind him. He told us next to nothing. He didn't even take a proper accounting of who was in the van. I think his name was Santos.

mediocre tour, you get what you pay for - The tour itself was just sort of fine, the “guide” didn’t do much guiding unfortunately. The waterfall was quite blue which was nice but you have to wait in a VERY LONG line to get a picture, you don’t get to keep hiking down. best part was the view from lunch, and the local guide for the sloth sanctuary, although we did feel very rushed through the tour. Saw some wildlife, pretty views, and a really beautiful rainbow on our drive out of the rainforest.
