Real experiences from real travelers
Our guide was a wizard! We saw three sloths and a troop of monkeys within the first 20 minutes. The spotting scope made all the difference.
Highly recommend the 7am tour. It was cooler and we saw so many birds. Our guide's knowledge of the flora was impressive.
The guide was excellent, but make sure you buy your park tickets on the SINAC site first. The tour doesn't always include them.
Mis hijos disfrutaron mucho viendo los monos de cerca. El guía fue muy paciente y amable. Una experiencia 10/10.
The guide helped us take photos through his scope and they look professional! The beach at the end is the most beautiful in Costa Rica.
You could walk the trails alone, but you'd miss 90% of the animals. Our guide found a tiny frog we never would have seen.
The tour was fantastic. The humidity is real, so bring lots of water. The guide was very helpful in finding shade while explaining the ecosystem.
The combination of jungle wildlife and then relaxing on the beach was perfect. booking through this platform was seamless.
