Great Experience! - We went with a group of 13 and had a private tour. We really enjoyed our experience! The rainforest was beautiful.. I’d recommend bringing a change of clothes and shoes. The hike can be challenging, lots of uphill, rocks and mud if it rains, which it most likely will because it’s the rainforest! It’s a beautiful experience! We also visited the sloth sanctuary and saw sloths, snakes, frogs, butterflies and toucans. Our tour guide was helpful and stopped often to ensure we could use the bathroom, stretch our legs and grab snacks. Definitely a must do in Costa Rica

Amazing greenery and the creatures we’ve been so excited to see! - We absolutely loved this tour! We must not have read the fine print, but this particular tour was a solo tour- just my husband, our fantastic tour guide- Dayro, and me. The waterfall is busy, but is very beautiful. We did not see many animals at the national park but amazing greenery. We saw tucans, monkeys, sloths, snakes at the second part of tour- this was our favorite, we had a second guide at the sloth tour, who was also amazing, very knowledgeable, and has a very well trained eye to find animals very high up in trees. The food at the lunch place was absolutely fantastic and one of the best (if not the best) meals we’ve had this trip. I highly recommend this tour!

World class tour! - This was an all day trip with Ricardo who was an excellent guide. Water falls, hot springs with mud treatment. Walk in the woods with Sloth and other wildlife sightings. Chocolate lecture and coffee lecture. All very good. Only down side is the vans are not roomy enough. Very small seats and no leg room. After all day in this tight spot very stiff.

Heather and Canadian Friends - Loved this!!! Sadly we made decision to go to late in day trip and only had a short time there. Next time we will be spending an entire day! Our day was so full...it was a fantastic time and Anthony went out of his way to satisfy all the "will we see" demands. We live his handsome and humble self.

nice but many hours in a van, expensive - We saw 2 sloths, one from the back high up in a tree, and one in a tree a little closer. We saw 2 frogs, 2 snakes and a few birds. I was expecting a lot more wildlife and a longer experience in the jungle! The guide was helpful but our van driver actually knew more than the guide about the wildlife. The hike was nice, but it was a very gentle walk in the woods and we could only see the waterfalls from a distance. The van was clean and comfortable but it took over 2 hours each direction. It was a very expensive day.
