Our favorite day of our trip! - We took two tours with this company during our trip - zip lining and snorkeling. Both were fantastic. Our tour guide Catherine and driver Gigi were the best, they felt like members of our family for the day.

Excellent Experience – Highly Recommend! - We originally booked the snorkeling and Cahuita National Park tour, but unfortunately the ocean was too rough for snorkeling that day. Instead of simply canceling, the team went above and beyond and offered to take us on a chocolate tour and a waterfall trip and honestly, we ended up loving it even more than we would have loved the snorkeling. Our guide Rich was fantastic. She was incredibly energetic, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable about the local culture and the indigenous peoples of the region. During our hike through the park, she was amazing at spotting wildlife, we saw sloths, vipers, monkeys, and so many beautiful birds that we would have completely missed without her trained eye. It made the experience feel incredibly special and authentic. Our driver Fabi was also excellent very professional, friendly, and made us feel completely safe the entire time. The whole day ran smoothly and the staff clearly cared about making sure everyone had a great experience despite the change in plans. What could have been a disappointing situation turned into one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica. I highly recommend this company and especially Rich and Fabi if you get the chance to tour with them!

Change of plans - The water was too rough so we were offered a change of plans and had the best day. Went to the national park and saw sloths, monkeys, lizards etc. Amazing beach and such a scenic walk. Then we went to make some chocolate which was such a great experience. Next up we hiked to some waterfalls. Such a great day with a superb driver and guide.

Amazing Day! - My sister and I had a fabulous day in Costa Rica. Although the weather didnt allow the snorkeling part of the trip, we had a wonderful time in the national park and the waterfalls. Rachel was a great guide that could spot the wildlife. We really appreciate her time and our drivers timeliness- picking us up just as the rain started with umbrella in hand. Very personal- private service.

Great Day in Colon - Richelyn was a very knowledgeable tour guide and we enjoyed the hike through Cahuita National Park. She pointed out many animals, birds, and insects, as well as flora along the trails. The snorkel was with another company and was good. We saw lots of coral and marine life. About 15 in our group with ages ranging from 10ish-65ish. It was a great excursion. Highly recommend!

Exceptional! - Where to begin? I booked this for my friend and I, based on research via trip advisor. We were on the Carnival Liberty cruise. We were met at the dock with a sign with my name on it. When we got to the van we were pleasantly surprised it was just us two. Rosa was our awesome guide. She gave us a lot of information about the area and country. The van is a very comfortable air conditioned van, with WiFi. We were driven to meet up with several small boats with other people that were staying locally. The drive was maybe 1/2 hour - 45 minutes (sorry lost track!). The snorkeling was out of this world. We saw a lot of different fish. We snorkeled for approx 3 hours, with a break between, where we were fed water and fruit. While we were eating our snacks, we were entertained by the local monkeys in the trees. One whom swipe a watermelon off the table. It was a sight to behold - quick little thief! Upon conclusion of the snorkel, the boats dropped us and our guide at the park for our hike. Along with some history, we saw some interesting wildlife and sloths. We were dropped back off at the dock to get back on our cruise. I highly recommend this tour. They are reliable. I felt safe and taken care of. This was our most favorite stop on this 14 day cruise. And cannot even begin to be compared to the excursions sold directly by Carnival. Wildlife and fish you will see is never guaranteed - but this one really worth it, whether you are on a cruise or not!
