Memories of a lifetime! - This trip left us with such amazing memories! Eddie, Bryan and the team were so knowledgeable. We learned so much about Costa Rica in one day. They were very attentive and accommodating to all of us. The waterfalls were stunning. We saw a tree of life. Went to the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen! They even made special stops for us. This crew goes above and beyond! Lunch was at a local soda with delicious food and very friendly people. If you’re even considering another tour similar to this, forget it, book with Eddie… you will not be disappointed! Big thanks to everyone for showing us the most incredible day!

Best tour ever! - The best tour ever. Eddie and his staff were simply amazing. We learned so much about Costa Rica. Be sure to go on this tour when visiting the Manuel Antonio area. The waterfalls and beaches were the most amazing places. I was stupid enough to try to go behind one of the waterfslls with my gopro camera on a selfie stick. Well, the great force of the pounding water ripped my camera off the stick. Eddie had a person come out with a diving mask to try to find it as we continued the tour. Unfortunately, he was unsuccessful. but the effort went way above and beyond what any othervtour operator would have done. Eddie you and your staff are the best. Thank you so much my friend.

Birthday trip for the books - So much to say about Eddie who had made my first trip to Costa Rica one to remember. He was very responsive and came and picked me and my group up. If you want a private tour with a fun tour guide, Eddie is your guy. He taught us so much about Costa Rica and took us to many places. We got to spend all day exploring, swimming at waterfalls and enjoying the beach. I got to have an extra extra extra special birthday because of him. ;) PURA VIDA! Thank you Eddie for everything I’ll never forget my trip

Friendly Guide - I have yet to receive the photos taken from the tour, but I had a good time and went solo, the guide I went with didn’t make me feel uncomfortable or anxious. The restaurant we went to was but slow but the food was very good. The rivers and jump points were definitely the highlight.

The BEST Day with our big family! - We reached out to Bright Adventures to plan a tour four our family group of 18 ages 7-71. From the moment I contacted Eddie I knew we would be in great hands by his excellent communication. We had the BEST day exploring waterfalls, caves and beaches with Eddie and his wonderful crew! As soon as they pulled up to pick us all up in a really nice shuttle with a crew of 4, I knew it was going to be a great day! We went to 3 waterfalls with fun and adventurous jumps, slides, swinging ropes and swimming. We appreciated that Eddie was very safety conscious. The waterfalls were very powerful due to recent rain, and he went above and beyond with safety compared to other groups we saw. Eddie was very knowledgeable and shared interesting history along each drive. He, Luis and Brian were SO much fun with the 10 kids in our group. When they weren't leading us, lifeguarding or taking photos, they were playing with the kids, cutting up fruit for us and generally just the nicest guys to hang out with. The included lunch was way beyond what we expected. Everything we ordered was delicious and the restaurant had amazing ocean views. We had plenty of time to explore every stop and never felt rushed. Eddie even bought snow cones for everyone at one of the beaches. At the end of the tour we had the option to purchase all of the (hundreds!) of pics and videos Eddie took for a very reasonable price. I can't thank Eddie and his crew enough for this day with our family that we will never forget! We will definitely use them again next time we are in Costa Rica.

Great guides, all the best locations! - We had a great, personal tour with Eddie and Ruiz! They were willing to adjust the itinerary based on what we wanted to see, prioritized us being safe but still having a good time and teaching us as much as they could about Costa Rica. Definitely would recommend!

Gorgeous waterfall adventure day - Excellent full day of adventure! Eddie and Andy were the best. The waterfalls were gorgeous and we always felt safe and well-informed. The national parks we visited were gorgeous and the lunch stop had the best arroz con pollo we had this trip! This is a must-do part of our next vacation in Costa Rica! Can’t wait to bring our family.

Greatest tour guide EVER!! - Greatest tour ever!!!! Bright Adventures is the best! Eddie and Erwin made our adventure the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. They set the bar extremely high and showed us a side of Costa Rica that we didn't expect. Both were considerate and compassionate towards my daughter and myself. They were knowledgeable about their environment and its flora and fauna. I really recommend taking a tour with this company and you'll not be disappointed, worth every penny and then some.
