Safari Float - Warner was phenomenal! He went out of his way to help us see so many different animals! We saw many monkeys, multiple igunanas and Basilisks, a Caiman, a river otter, a Toucan, and many other birds. The included lunch we had back at the café was one of the best we had in Costa Rica. I highly recommend this excursion and Costa Rica Descents as a company!

Do The Safari Float! - Esteban was fantastic! He pointed out a sloth in a tree nearby before our safari float even began. He was full of information and has a great personality. On our float he made sure we were safe and having a good time. He got great photos and videos for us when we couldn’t grab our phones fast enough. We ended the tour with a delicious meal by Myrtha and a tour of the farm where the food comes from. All in all, a great experience!

Essence of Pura Vida Costa Rica - Esteban and helper were incredible. Esteban conveyed his love for Costa Rica, the history, the environment and the animals while his right hand man was searching for the animals to point out to us. We enjoyed birds, monkeys, iguanas and even a crocodile. Lunch was delicious and I wish I had time for the cooking class. The farm walk was extremely enjoyable with the sugarcane press, trying the different vegetables and we got to milk a goat. Costa Rica Decends felt much more personal.
