Rafting, rainforest, coffee and chocolate excursion - Our guide Alejandro was amazing! He taught us so much about Costa Rica and had a great sense of humor! We loved the river rafting and seeing the sloths…even in the rain. The whole rain forest experience was great! Wonderful day from beginning to end!!!!

Wonderful trip - This trip was a perfect way for us to enjoy the ecosystem in Costa Rica! We enjoyed a float down the river and saw momkeys, crocodiles, etc. We toured the rain forest and saw sloths and a variety of other animals and plants. Be prepared for the rain. Walking was minimal which was a plus Our tour guides were excellent.

We loved the Rio Celeste Excursion! - This tour was so fun, educational, and interesting. We learned how coffee and cacao are grown, harvested, and made. We saw sloths, monkeys, toucans, frogs, and of course the beautiful Rio Celeste water fall. The water fall wasn’t crystal blue like how it’s pictured (it was very rainy the day we went), but it was still breath taking!!! Definitely pack a rain coat, and you’ll thank yourself if you bring a dry change of clothes/shoes to change into after. Finally, our drivers and guides were AMAZING. Super funny, informational, and friendly. Esteban did an awesome job leading our group through each part of the excursion and making sure everyone had a chance to get photos of themselves, of wildlife, and look through the telescope. Mauricio (Maui) and Alejandro were fantastic drivers as well. Totally worth it!

He was knowledgeable, informative, kind, enthusiastic, well spoken. I cannot say a bad thing about any of it. It raised the day I went and that was incredible too! It’s a long day but definitely worth it. I kept saying Wow. All day long. Go. Do this excursion. It was incredible!!!
