Great tours, reasonable price - We did three tours with Kevin and his team. They are great! Fun to ride with, very knowledgeable, and the tours were very interesting. Pricing was very fair too. We would use contour again and highly recommend them.

Great outing and lots of fun! Thanks to Kevin and Costour - Very nice outing to the waterfall with a great group and an outstanding guide (Kevin) who encouraged us and knew how to follow our pace (despite our advanced age ;)).

Unforgettable tour! - This tour was unforgettable. Our guide, Pepito, was really cool, showing us all the best places for pictures, and stopping at points of interest along the way. He clearly knows and loves Costa Rica a lot! For lunch he took us to a local soda that he likes. The food was amazing! The waterfall was beautiful, we had so much fun!

Beautiful area to visit - We just completed our trip to the falls. We had a wonderful time. Our guide was exceptional at explaining the local area to and from the falls. The waterfalls is surrounded by natural beauty and the water is exceptional clear and refreshing. We did even have a howler monkey as a visitor. The stop at the local stand for lunch was a wonderful first time experience for my wife and myself. It is nice to experience something you cannot experience where we live. Great job Costours

Great swimming! - We were lucky enough to visit this with Costa Rica Unique Tours on a day in which the water was absolutely perfect for swimming. Others had told us that during the rainy season sometimes it is too dangerous to swim there. It were a few other people there, but it wasn't all that crowded. I think there is a huge advantage to traveling to Costa Rica during the low tourist season!

beautiful spot to relax - Had a lovely drive to the falls from Playa de Coco and had a swim to relax, when we arrived. The falls weren't to crowded in the morning when we were there, but I have head it can be busy. A bit of a walk down and back up to falls, but the well maintained cement steps made it easy to do. A definite to see if in the area.
