Pura Vida - So worth it. The animal sanctuary could've been a little better but we were overall so pleased with the experience. Michelle was accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. The hike was a bit difficult but well worth the view of the blue waterfall. The water rafting was so fun. 10/10!

Best Day in Costa Rica - Best excursion of our whole Costa Rica trip! Genuinely an amazing time through seeing sloths, native specifies, beautiful hike to a most gorgeous waterfall, and tubing down a fun river. Our guide Michelle was the most incredible person and helped make the day even better. Highly recommend booking a day here for any ages! Would go back a million times.

Cool family day - Our family choose this trip (kids age 6 and 9) be use of the hiking ease and low intensity river tubing. We had a wonderful time. Our friendly tour guide Wilton was excellent. He spotted animals and reptiles in the rainforest that we would have never seen on our own, almost as if he had superpower vision. We saw several sloths, including a mother and her baby (the highlight of my daughter’s trip), poison dart frogs, eyelash viper snakes, tucans, and other birds and reptiles. Afterward we had a really terrific traditional Costa Rican meal nearby with a super fresh glass of fruit juice. The tubing was also super fun! The water was blue, the rapids put a smile on our faces and the scenery was out of a movie. Long, but great day!

Great day in Costa Rica - Michelle and our driver were cheerful and professional, and we felt safe and taken care of at all times. Our guide at the animal sanctuary, Noah, was very knowledgeable and he ensured we all went home with amazing pictures of the wildlife. The rafting guides, including Moses, ensured we had a blast. Our lunch and setting was perfect, and the day was a great way to experience many aspects of Costa Rica!

Great way to experience a lot - Great way to experience many amazing and beautiful parts of Costa Rica! Our guides Michele and Gustavo were outstanding, knowledgeable, and very friendly. Be ready for a long day. Hiking shoes and water socks are very helpful to bring along. The hike to the waterfall is short but a bit strenuous. Be prepared for the 244 stairs. We were so amazed by how many animals we saw in their natural habitat. An up close encounter with a sloth was on our CR bucket list and nature did not disappoint! The tubing in the river was a lot more fun than we expected. It’s not a lazy River! By the time we were dropped at our hotel, the tour was about 10 hours start to finish. We were exhausted at the end but very grateful to have made memories that will last a lifetime!

Great tour! - What a great tour! Tubing was the best part, so fun and amazing river through the jungle. Waterfall was really great to see as well. Martin our driver and Nicole our tour guide were awesome and even went out of their way to pick us up from our house that was put of the way far from any town.

Costa Rica MUST do - This was the first tour that i’ve done that is 10000% worth the time and money. We had so much fun and saw so many animals. The views were incredible. I would do it 100 times again. Nicole was so spectacular I would definitely recommend her for younger people.

Excellent excursion and guides - This was an amazing excursion. Michelle was amazing, friendly and fun to spend the day with. Jonathan was a great driver and very nice. Allen our guide at the rain forest was amazing. Super knowledgeable, friendly and took his time to take amazing pictures and videos and explain every animal and create we saw. We got within a foot of a young sloth. That made the day for us. The hike to the waterfall is moderate at least with a lot of stairs. Our calves were hurting the next day but worth it. Lastly, our guides for the tubing down the river were very friendly and made the experience great. Would highly recommend this excursion to others. Lunch was so great as well. Bring tip money for the rain forest guide, tubing guide and Michelle and Jonathan as they all work very hard and fully deserve it. Very humid out in June, sp be prepared to sweat a ton. Thank you for amazing memories.
