So much more than waterfalls, animals, birds, butterflies and great lunch - This excursion is so much more than just seeing the waterfalls. While they are beautiful, the aviary, butterflies and rescued animals steal the show. However, if you have knee or hip trouble, fear of heights and/or steep metal stairways, this may not be the best trip for you. However, I will say, every stairway had hand rails. The lunch was amazing. It is served buffet style and there is literally something for everyone. We are vegetarians and the fruit, salad bar, corn chips were great, but if you don't like that there's pizza and plenty of dishes for meat eaters. After the waterfalls, there is a gift shop with snacks and drinks, but remember, the shuttle back to your hotel may take a couple of hours and there is no bathroom on the bus, so watch how much you drink. Overall, I recommend this trip highly.

Waterfall Adventure - Lots of stairs and lovely at the falls. Fall visit much better than seeing the animals before hand. Lunch provided was good.

cynic: “Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Costa Rica”; in defense: they emphasize primacy of adequate habitat preservation.... - astounding infrastructure improves accessibility in lush, tranquil setting; exotic (indigenous) animal sanctuary with informative signage....

Not quite the experience I booked but the La Paz Waterfall Gardens were very nice. - This experience was promoted as a full day tour but is really only a half day tour. I was not picked up until 11am and did not reach the gardens until 1.30pm. Once there the experience was great - buffet lunch, scenic waterfalls and lots of wildlife, some you can get up close to.
