Adventure and Learning - A Must for Animal Planet Watchers!!! - Miguel the Tour Guide was amazing. He was so knowledgeable about all the animals in the Rescue Center. It was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica! We also noticed that visitors to the Rescue Center that didn't have a guide like Miguel were following us and listening to him - he was just so knowledgeable about all of the animals and talked about them in such an entertaining way. You should do this tour!!!

Amazing experience with a local touch! - Alex was beyond amazing. He took us to a local waterfall and swimming hall for a refreshing dip during our tour. He showed us the culture by sampling some Vino de Coyol and topped it off with a beer at his local bar, where his wonderful friends taught me to play dominoes. it was one of the most hospitable experiences we have ever had. I feel so grateful to have met all these wonderful people and the awesome tour experience.

Great Experience! - From the price and description, my expectations were pretty high. Overall, it was a great! We didn’t see beaches or get our pictures taken so that was a huge bummer after looking at pics on other reviews. But I’m still thankful for our own unique experience that no one else will get. Our guide Alex knew everything about everything and is an incredible human. We stopped at a convenience store and had the most amazing snack I’ll ever eat in my life: pasteles. The Diamante Eco park is underwhelming but beautiful. We stopped at a local bar, our bodies coated in dirt, and enjoyed every minute of it!
