Amazing! - We had an AMAZING TIME. Allan was our tour guide and Kenneth was our driver. Both were phenomenal. Allan took sooo many good photos and was incredibly knowledgeable. Kenneth was a great driver and always around if we needed anything. This was the highlight of our trip!! The sloth sanctuary was amazing and we saw so many sloths. The hike and tubing were also amazing! Would recommend doing this tour. We went in November and got soo lucky with the weather. No rain at all either!

Absolutely superb - We changed our destination and went to the Cortez waterfall. We LOVED it. The guides (Michelle and German) were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The views were amazing and wonderful. The steps were wet and slippery, probably typical during rainy season. The tubing people were very good at keeping us safe and two of us loved the ride. One of the three of us was susceptible to motion sickness and had trouble toward the end of the ride. The man at the sanctuary couldn’t have been a better host. He made sure we Gotto see many animals and got good pictures.

Amazing tour!! - To start the driver was a very courteous and extremely safe driver. He made us feel very comfortable. Then we met Allan, one of the best tour guides that we have had the pleasure to meet. He was not only kind, courteous, friendly, very informative, but you could tell he absolutely loves his occupation 🙂

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!
