Joaquin is the best! - We had a tour guide all to ourselves! Joaquin Matarrita, Head Experience Creator, was so knowledgeable and fun! We had great conversations and learned so much about the rainforest. He had such a great eye for spotting creatures throughout the space! He was so patience with us as we needed to take extra breaks due to a person in our party being older with some health issues. He made the experience even more magical!

Back in a Heartbeat - This was a fantastic hike in the rain forest. We traversed 4 miles, and went up and down 1300 steps. We cooled off in four different pools with waterfalls. The last one was actually a mineral spring with the waterfall pouring into it. We were fed a traditional Costa Rican breakfast snack on the way with pastries and the best coffee in the world. Our dinner was excellent. The best part of the trip was just being able to experience the rain forest. We saw Congo monkeys, white-faced monkeys, sloths, and several different varieties of venomous frogs. Isaac and Herberto, our guides, we’re very diligent. Everything ran on time, and they took good care of us. I would go back in a heartbeat.

WOW. A gem of an experience - This was an absolute highlight of our visit. We did the luxury plus tour and spent the day walking through a rainforest seeing a variety of animals like toucans, snakes, sloths, monkeys, etc. It was spectacular! Our guides Pedro & Issac were wonderful and very knowledgeable. The waterfalls did not disappoint. Thermal pool swimming was my favorite. We had a lovely lunch by one of the pools. We didn't get to do the lookout tower due to cloud cover, but saw so much else. We were picked up in Tamarindo and one thing I will say is to plan for a 12 hour day if you do this. 6 hours of driving, minimum depending on where you are. We were partially prepared for this, but thought it would be closer to 2 hours. I would suggest saying in Liberia and doing this tour from there to cut down on transit time and fully enjoy the pools and experience more. We might have stayed a little longer if we weren't facing a 3 hour drive home! But, all in all we are SO happy we did this and if we come back to Costa Rica we will absolutely stay in the rain forest more and explore there more as it was by far the highlight.

Rainforest hike and volcanic pool swims - This place is beautiful. We saw tonnes of wildlife and the guides are incredible at picking it out. The pools are beautiful too. We also love the eco credentials and ethics of the place!

A mini paradise on Mother Earth - For me personally, since I love the rainforest and the waterfalls, the absolute highlight of our trip. It costs a little to get there but it is worth it more than a thousand times over. The pristine forest filled with streams and carefully maintained pools is a true wonder. Our guide Eri was perfect and very empathetic. Thank you very much for spoiling us!

Adventure after an adventure - We drove rather than taking the shuttle and that added some extra adventure. The roads are largely dirt and rocks for much of the way and you will think you are lost, but it is worth it. The waterfalls and pools are amazing. The hike is not for those not in shape, but the rainforest is incredible and you get a view of the volcano from a platform above the canopy. The chicken and rice meal was also surprisingly good and make sure you try their coffee.

Amazing Family Experience. - Pablo and Johnny's vast sharing of knowledge with us was amazing. It was a living classroom. Once in a lifetime experience. The wildlife and the waterfalls were incredible. Our family all agreed the tour was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica.

Great way to see the rainforest - The tour was so interesting and our driver/guide, Pablo, was so knowledgeable and helpful . His assistant was also excellent and the two of them really added the enjoyment of this beautiful place. The hike was a workout but worth it. Highly recommend.

Sensoria Rainforest is a beautiful protected area of Costa Rica - We had a very good time at Sensoria. The rainforest, waterfalls and scenery were beautiful. Our guide was a bit quiet but helpful and accommodating. We saw two waterfalls and were able to walk in them. The volcanic soils create the most clear and blue water we have ever seen. There were two plunge pools we were allowed to go in, as well as one thermal pool. Unfortunately the only wildlife we saw were some exotic birds and snakes (poisonous!). The property is in a type of land trust so it will not be disturbed with development, and they have motion cameras showing the wildlife within the park. The one downside is the ride to and from - horrible roads, very rough ride.
