Outstanding Tour - What a fantastic day- WELL-worth the price! Rincon Del Vieja was a BEAUTIFUL park and the paths were well-marked. Our guide, Gabriel, had excellent knowledge of the flora in the area & was never at a loss for an answer to our questions. He was also a whiz at pics & so helped us take superb photos for our memories. The highlight of this part of the tour was a giant TAPIR that crossed our path as we were almost wrapping up. Lunch was a lovely buffet with yummy-tasting food. The waterfall was exceptional in that we went in the afternoon and got to see an amazing rainbow over the water. Finally the mud baths were fun & we truly enjoyed our time in hot springs. All in all- 10 out of 10! My only recommendation would be: TAKE BUG REPELLANT to the Volcano Park or wear long sleeves & long pants. I had a terrible reaction to the biting gnats/ mosquitos & it made the next week a pretty tough time.

Excellent tour package - I recommend this tour. We saw a tapir and her baby! Some other animals and a few birds. I’m 58 and went with my daughter. Long walks are generally easy for me, but please note there are stairs which were challenging for my weak knee. But I did not regret this package. Our guide, Roberto, was thoughtful and knowledgeable. I think the waterfall was my favorite part, but the hot springs were fun too. Very good lunch, then we stopped at a large souvenir shop. Worth the money.

Well worth it! - We had a wonderful day.! Manuel was punctual, personable, and extremely patient. He knew so much about the flora and fauna and knows all the best spots to take photos. He took many wonderful photos for us - even going above and beyond to use our phone camera with his binoculars! The day was well-paced, and each stop was unforgettable. Very reasonably priced, too, considering all we did on a private tour! Thank you, Manuel!

Knowledgeable and Personable Guide - We booked Gabriel for a private tour with ten family members. Gabriel picked us up right on time, was very personable and knowledgeable the entire trip. He taught us about all sorts of things (lots of stuff that he doesn’t have to know for tourism too!). The private excursion was great with his guided hike of the Rincon de la Vieja and then the waterfall and hot springs were nice too. If you’re looking to do a tour in and around the Guanacaste area, he’s your guy!

Convenient and enjoyable experience - We enjoyed having the transportation from Tamarindo. The pickup and drop off was convenient and we were grateful that we weren't the ones driving given the traffic, road conditions, and other headaches. The trail was well maintained and people of various ages and abilities were having positive experiences. The buffet was a pleasant surprise! The private tour was helpful so that we could move on to the next experience when we were ready. Christian was kind and easy to be around.

Gabriel is a miracle worker! - Let's say your family of 18 showed up in Costa Rica the week between Christmas and New Years and didn't plan anything in advance and then expected to book excursions with a day or two notice...It wasn't going well. Finally I found Gabriel's page and sent a message and he quickly sent a reply. I told him how many people we had and what we were looking to do and that we were open to suggestions. He came up with a great plan for a hike that was kid friendly (he has kids of his own, so he gets it), cool for adults, and he arranged the guide and the transportation. We then said "well, you made one miracle happen, can you do it again and find us a private boat for a snorkel/cruise." Gabriel did it. Again. I know he had to put some work into it because it took him a day or two to get it all coordinated, but he made it happen. Gabriel is great at coming up with options to match your group. We tried to be as honest about what we were flexible about and what we weren't, and that helped him plan great activities for us. He is incredibly friendly, easy to communicate with, and responsive. I wish I was going back soon, so he could plan more for us!
