Peaceful day at Hacienda Ebano - Juan Carlos went out of his way to give Brenda and me a special day in Hacienda Ebano! The day was just as it was described on Viator. Juan Carlos gave us a safe and exciting ride on top of his truck! And we hiked a good distance at a comfortable pace making sure we were using all of our senses to appreciate the biodiversity! JC prepared lunch while we swam in the waterfall. JC also cut open coconuts for us to drink which was so refreshing after our hike. We drink the water as we enjoyed the panoramic views of the ocean and the mountains beside us! I would recommend this tour!

Serene and unreal! - This was one of best excursions we went on. Caesar was an amazing guide. The wild life and jungle were on point. The water falls and swimming is so refreshing. Walking through the jungle was peaceful and relaxing. The trails that Caesar took us on were moderate terrain. Finishing with an authentic meal was delicious and perfectly timed. Can’t say enough about Caesar, his family and the whole trip. HIGHLY recommended.

Rainforest sunset tour and night walk - So Amazing! Juan Carlos & César served us coffee on a hilltop as we watched the sun set in the Pacific. Then they walked us through the Ebano trails showing us nocturnal frogs, insects, and birds. They were so knowledgeable, attentive, and helpful. They even shared their photos from the walk with us. Our true Pura Vida guides;) Highly highly recommend.

Wonderful! - Our guide, Cesar, was great and he even took several pics for us. Went to two waterfalls, the top of the mountain and had an authentic Costa Rican lunch that was delicious. Definitely worth the trip.

Great Experience – Well Worth It! - We thoroughly enjoyed our morning at Hacienda Ebano. It was a wonderful way to combine a beautiful nature walk, stunning ocean views – and a bit of waterfall swimming. Juan Carlos was a knowledgeable and welcome guide from the time that he welcomed us to when he dropped us off at the end of our tour. On the walk to the Ebano Falls, we had the opportunity to see the forest, and Juan Carlos was great at talking us through the ecosystem and how it worked. He pointed out the various sounds and bird types, and thoroughly answered our questions. I am sure we would not have seen some of the birds or the poison dart frogs without his assistance. The walk was followed by the trip up to the top of the hill with a truly magnificent view of the ocean. Initially, we thought we would have liked to hike the trails. However, we were quite happy to have the ride, especially given the heat and the grade of the hill. To top it off, we had the trip down to Jade Falls for lunch and a refreshing swim. In a small group and in the quiet, we really had a sense of the environment that we could have easily missed by sticking to main road and the more crowded attractions. Well worth it.
