Massive thanks to jacamar tours! - An incredible experience from start to finish - greeted by Marco who really welcomed us and then a short journey to pick up other guests for the tour. We split into 2 groups of 10 and started the tours. Our tour guide was Kevin - you could not have asked for a more lovely guy - polite, patient, informative and highly knowledgeable about the rain forest. Over the 2 hours we were taught about all the flora & wildlife wise; we saw a sloth, owl, tarantula, red frog, toucan & snakes - none of which we would have seen if we self guided. Oh and he was a brilliant photographer too / plenty of great pics for the gram. Would not hesitate to recommend this tour company!!!!!

Jacamar Naturalist Tours - Mistico Park & Hanging Bridges - David was our tour guide for the Arenal Hanging Bridges tour in Mistico Park. He was wonderful - kept a good pace for the group, made sure we saw as much of the wildlife as possible, and shared lots of info and history. A snack of fresh watermelon and pineapple after the tour was much appreciated. Shout out to Miguel, our driver, as well! Both were great.

Better experience than in the Amazon! - What a great experience! After spending one week in the Papagayo Peninsula area, we loved our excursion tour of the Hanging Bridges at Mystique in La Fortuna. The rain forest walk over several hanging bridges was amazing. The guides were very knowledgeable, and help us locate the wild life there. They also had when them a spotting telescope which really helped us view the wildlife closer.

Walking among the rainforest canopy. - This was the third private tour we purchased from jacamar this week. All have been highly educational and fun filled. The jacamar guides are experts in describing what you are seeing and in the identification of wildlife that the uninformed would not even notice. Our tour guide was Gustavo who has been a guide for over 20 years. Fluent in English as a second language, as we have found with all our guides, made the three hour hanging bridge a wonderful learning experience as we walked in the rainforest canopy. A delightful experience.

Great experience! - Our guide Gustavo was amazing! He took the time to talk to us about many interesting facts from the park. He’s very knowledgeable when it comes to his craft. The hanging bridges experience itself was great as well!

Nice walk - We thoroughly enjoyed this nature walk over many hanging bridges. There were many groups which made wait times to cross the bridges a bit long. Our guide, Jason, was very good at spotting wildlife, including a very tiny viper, asleep on a leaf. The bridges are a little dubious but safe.

Nature Focused, Fun experience - Very knowledgeable & personalable guide. Drove 25 min to Mistico, moderate 2hr hike loop immersed in nature. Saw snakes, frogs, owls and guide was great at setting up scope to get good photos. They provided bottled water and a granola bar.
We were fortunate that went in ‘busy’ season but had only small lines before bridges as we heard that sometimes you have long wait times due to crowds.

Wonderful Hanging Bridges Tour - We traveled to Costa Rica in hopes of viewing the wide variety of wildlife and beautiful flowers the country has to offer. The Jacamar Arenal Hanging Bridges guided walk more than delivered. We saw so many interesting things, birds, tarantulas, sloths, snakes, monkeys, and owls. Our guides Melanie and Alonzo were exceptional. They were friendly, knowledgable and kept the tour extremely engaging. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to spend the morning in a rainforest and hoping to see many interesting things.
