Can’t say enough about it, was an experience to remember - Our guide was above excellent and entertained us along the way with interesting things and facts about Costa Rica. The coffee and chocolate tour was way above expectations. The staff and the grounds were like a dream to see, an actual plantation where people enjoyed what they were doing. We got to see how coffee and chocolate are extracted from beans and to taste them. As for the sloth tour in a rain forest, it was so cool. Our young tour guide did great showing us a cool frog, a viper snake and multiple sloths. The big spiders were amazing to see and then our guide took us back in the rain forest to see a Baird’s Tapir but he calls it an elephant pork which it actually does. The lunch was a typical Costa Rican dish and it was good. All the guides were very professional and made this private tour something to remember. Couldn’t ask for a better day or better people. 10/10

Awesome experience! - Great experience from booking to the tour itself! I had concerns about the weather. Rosbin was very prompt in his replies and reassured me it would be okay. Mesmer our driver/guide was great! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was a safe driver and allowed us to really enjoy the beautiful scenery on the way. The coffee and chocolate tour was very fun and informative! We ended up buying chocolates and coffee afterwards to share with loved ones back home. The highlight of the tour was the sloths! We mainly wanted to see sloths and saw 5, including this baby sloth which was within reach! It was so adorable and my daughter was in love! Tour finished with a yummy lunch at the restaurant nearby. Very enjoyable experience and highly recommend! Pura vida!

Well worth the money - This was a wonderful tour that I highly recommend. Minior, our guide, was informative and fun. We really enjoyed learning the coffee and chocolate tour, but the absolute highlight was seeing 3 different sloths, a viper snake, and a few frogs! The included lunch was also very good. On our way back, Minior spotted some monkeys and pulled over for us to take photos. I hope to come back to Costa Rica again and I would 100% book this tour again.

Mainor was the best! - Mainor was the best guide we’ve ever had throughout any tour! The drive from where we were staying was far, but he made it worth it by stopping so we could get out. He pointed out Monkeys, different trees, sugar cane- and he knew everything in the rainforest; it was truly amazing how much he was able to teach us the entire day. I was able to get excellent sloth pictures, and see a few different types of frogs, snakes, and spiders. It was a truly unique experience I would highly recommend to anyone.

Great experience! - Our tour guide, Minor, was great! Very informative about the culture and history of the area. The coffee/chocolate tour was fun and delicious. The sloths stole our hearts. There were birds and frogs and a few snakes along our path. It rained on our day, but we had packed ponchos so still enjoyed everything. Lunch was amazing with authentic food and wonderful views of the volcanoes in the distance. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. It was a great experience.

DO NOT MISS - This tour was fun and informative and amazing! I learned so much about coffee and chocolate. We saw a baby sloth right in front of us. We were told that the babies only come down once a week to poop lol so we were very lucky. We also saw numerous poisonous frogs and snakes and beautiful lizards. For the frogs and sloths portion, our tour guide Stephanie was so good. The guides there helped wildlife up in the trees and even knew how to use our cell phones to take close-up pictures using the binoculars. I was impressed with the knowledge , they had and the amount of wildlife we got to observe

Highly Recommended Day Trip! - Our family loved this day excursion! The ride from Tamarindo was long, but our driver Nes kept us engaged and excited for our adventures! The coffee and chocolate tour was fantastic and delicious! Fabian was a wonderful guide! However, the highlight of our day was the sloth and frog hike in the rainforest. Our guide, Samuel, was amazing! He was able to point out several frog species, including a bright red thumb nail sized poison dart frog! Samuel also pointed out several sloths, including one that was literally right above our heads! It was a great day had by all! Thank you to Nes, Fabian and Samuel!
