All-In-One Tour Exploring Nature, Culture, and Everything Else Costa Rica with Adrian - This should be the go to tour with Adrian! It was just me and my wife with Adrian for this tour. Play by play / Overview You start with the national forest where he shows you a bunch of different animals close up with his telescope like device. Without him a would have seen maybe one, two animals, with him we saw so much stuff, people waited for Adrian to spot something so then they could look. Second we met the indigenous people where Adrian has a great relationship with. The Indigenous guide plays little tricks on you and no spoilers here. The food is great as well. I personally don’t really like chocolate but the process and the steps was worth trying/learning. Lastly Adrian takes you to this really cool waterfall. The fish here naturally clean your skin and was probably my favorite part. He does some cool tricks but I won’t spoil them here. Ask about the chocolate masks trust me. Money Comments Don't gawk at the price tag. You get three 60-80$ish USD individual tours in one. Great deal, great tour how do you beat that? We payed 110$ USD each with a tip that he didn’t ask for, we just gave because we felt like it was worth it. Logistic Stuff Got picked up at 7AM from hotel by his driver and dropped off by 2:30 PM. All our stuff was safe with the driver no problem. Never felt unsafe, Adrian speaks perfect English, his website was down but I instagrammed messaged him @traveladriancr and got reservations within a day. This is also how you get the cheaper price. No hidden fees/ Adrian takes care of any logistical stuff with the National Park, Indigenous Staff, and the care taker of the waterfall. Hope you liked reading this review and sorry for any spelling mistakes! -Steve

An unforgettable experience - We were fortunate that our first contact with Costa Rica was with Adrian. He is a Guide capable of transmitting his love of nature in a unique way. Thanks to him we learned a barbarity of things: from how to observe animals to how the indigenous Bribri live. Undoubtedly, an unforgettable experience that we would repeat without thinking.

Amazing! - Adrian was an amazing tour guide! We got to experience some of the nature within CR, along with the culture. Adrian was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and plants. The other tours I took in CR felt very unorganized and were overpriced for what I was getting. This tour is like 3 tours in 1 and if anything, it was cheap for the experience I got. If you’re looking for a tour in CR, this is among the best ones here.

Informative and eventful excursion - Overall, a very interesting and informative tour and highly recommended. First we went to Cahuita National Park. Here, with our guide Adrian, we were able to discover many animals that you would never see without an experienced guide. Then we went to the waterfall. Adrian offered us delicious fresh pineapple with cookies. Then we went on to the Bri Bri, where we learned a lot about this indigenous people. Then we were able to help with chocolate and cocoa production and then taste it. Adrian is super nice and told us a lot about the flora and fauna and the development of the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica and was open to all questions. Many thanks to Adrian for this wonderful day.

Amazing experience - After a first visit with Adrian, he suggested this tour according to what we were interested in and he was spot on! The whole experience was amazing. He was constantly looking for animals for us to see and helped us understand a part of the Costa Rican history. Concerning the tour, the walk through Cahuita park was very nice along the beach and allowed us to see monkeys, sloths, and plenty of birds. The BriBri tribe was very welcoming and we learned how they traditionally made cacao. It was amazing! Finally, the waterfall was the perfect way to finish the day with a refreshing swim and fresh fruit! Gracias por todo Adrian! Pura vida

You ll see a lot in just one day - Definitely worth it! Adrian speaks perfect english and has experiences of guiding everywhere in the country and he just started on his own in Puerto Viejo thats why he doesnt have many reviews yet. He even provided us informations and recommendations beyond the tour itself. Cahuita is beautiful park, you will most likely see sloths, monkeys, snakes, plenty of interesting plants and much more. In BriBri you can taste amazing cacao, cocoa and chocolate and get amazing local dish. I was overall very satisfied

Absolutely amazing - Adrian was an amazing guide. He provided a lot of interesting facts and taught us a lot about history, wildlife and the people living in the area. At the same time it felt like traveling with a good friend and not at all like a guided tour. I totally recommend this trip. You will see and learn a lot more than you will going on your own. It is absolutely worth the money.

Cahuita, Bri-Bri and Ma-Cu - What an amazing experience we had, Adrian is a great tour guide who speaks fluent English and taught us a lot. He is very knowledgeable with facts about animals and plants. We had a blast learning about the culture and how the chocolate was made and used for many cultural things. Spotting the animals was lots of fun as we have a small child. He gave us some fresh fruit that was delicious and the waterfall was stunning and refreshing. It was definitely worth it, we will definitely use his service again. Thank you for the great memories and wonderful experience for my family and I.
