Highlight of our Costa Rica adventure! - Elbert was a delightful guide! With 20+ years of experience, and a curious and kind conversationalist. We saw so many cool creatures and he literally went out of his way to show us a baby sloth! Myself and a friend went together and found it was just us and the guide, must have gotten lucky that day. It was a very nice private tour. Beautiful wildlife and so much knowledge shared!

100% worth it - My favourite tour of our adventure in Costa Rica. We learned so much from our guide Meno ( he is awesome and truly is passionate about the forest, nature, animals and sharing this beautiful part of the country with others...plus he was great with the kids) . We also got sooooo lucky and saw an active mama sloth with her baby, moving in the trees. We saw vipers, frogs, insects, birds and learned about the trees and eco system. This was an excellent tour that I would highly recommend. My children and I really enjoyed ourselves!

Very nice - We were a group of 4 people, but there were many groups on the way and everything was pretty hectic. Our guide was self-taught, it was okay but his knowledge was not overly sound. We walked 2 hours through the woods, saw some stuff, certainly more than without a guide, but still it was a bit disappointing. In addition, the battery of my girlfriend's flashlight ran out, since that was the only equipment we received from the guide, it would have been nice if it had been able to sustain the hike stably.
