Great experience and... - Great experience and great guides! The hike is short but very wet/slippery. Wear water shoes or sandals.

10/10 recommend - you will regret not doing it - Went above and beyond expectations. Our guides were experts throughout every part of the experience and had so much knowledge to share along the way. Would highly recommend.

The very definition of pura vida - Wilson picked us up early in the morning and brought us to chirlee’s (sp?)house where we had a delicious traditional Costa Rican breakfast of gallo pinto. From there we hopped in the truck and had a thrilling ride to the top of the mountain. We then hiked to the waterfalls and jumped into the pools. Wilson pointed out many plants and creatures in the forest so it was edifying as well as entertaining. Wilson’s family grows coffee so we also got some of his small batch freshly roasted and ground beans. It was a wonderful morning.

Best Tour Ever. New Adventures. - Lomar and Joaquin were amazing. Excellent tour. I would definitely do it again as long I had the both of them. They made a special trip with my daughter even more special. Lomar helped me overcome my fear of zip lining. Now I can't wait to go again! And he helped me get the most of out the tour even with my bum knee. Joaquin helped so much with the rapelling. They were both so kind, friendly and knowledgeable. They knew so much more about the plants, animals, insects than I ever expected. Thank you both so much for an experience we will always remember with warmth and smiles.

Great time! - Great time! Wilson and Joshua were excellent guides! We had a great breakfast with Shirley and then enjoyed all the information on the rainforest flora and fauna. The falls were great and everyone took a few big jumps!

Don't miss out! Best part of our trip. - This was the clear highlight of an overall amazing vacation! Our guide, Lomar, was excellent. Not only did he have a lot of knowledge about the flora and fauna, he shared it in an open, funny, and interactive way. Our whole group, ages 6, 16, 49 and 51, had a blast.

We made it!!! 4-74 years old. You can too!!!!! - Lomar & William were great! Though extremely hot, had a nice lunch at “base camp.” Then a quick safari ride up the mountain and a short adventurous hike to and up the waterfalls. Lomar explained about some flora & fauna on the ride up and we saw 3 macaws close up on the way down. Definitely recommend hopping into the water to cool off as the hike out is quite steep. Also take the hiking stick if a bit older or out of shape and take your time and Drink plenty of water! Safe travels!!!
