Highlight of our trip - I booked this tour for myself, my husband and two kids (ages 6 & 9). I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was everything we hoped it would be and more! The driver and guide picked us up at 7:15 AM from our hotel in a private van. Our guide, Allan, explained many things along the drive. It’s a long drive – about two hours – but it goes quickly when you were looking out the window and learning about Costa Rican wildlife, etc. Allan was very knowledgeable and clearly had a true passion for the local environment and wildlife. Our first stop was the wildlife conservation center. We went on a lovely short walk/hike and saw so many animals! We saw frogs, snakes, sloths, and even a toucan! The highlight was seeing a baby sloth climb its first tree right next to us. After that, we headed to the waterfall hike, which was beautiful, but a bit overcrowded. Of the three activities, I could’ve skipped the waterfall hike, but it was still fun and the waterfall is gorgeous. There are just tons of tourists. It did make me very grateful to be on a private trip, versus a large bus tour. Lastly, I was the tubing, which was more thrilling than I expected, and a lot of fun! My daughter was a little bit nervous at first, but even she started to enjoy it after realizing we weren’t going to tip over in the mini rapids. The water was a bit chilly in January, but manageable. I’d wear a rashguard or swim top to stay warm, if you have one. This is the rainforest and it did rain, but very gentle and warm. I would definitely recommend this to her. It’s a long day – about 12 hours in total – but was truly a highlight of our week in Costa Rica.

HIGHLY recommend. Worthwhile experience - Our group of 5 had a great time on the chocolate/coffee tour, hiking, waterfall, and tubing. Kenneth, the driver, came on time and got us to and from safely. Very friendly and stopped to show us animals/birds along the way. Alan was our tour guide for the day and he was very communicative and brought his telescope to help see the sloths and birds much clearer. He was super informative and made the day very enjoyable. Would HIGHLY recommend this tour group! We felt very comfortable and had the best time.

Amazing! - We had an AMAZING TIME. Allan was our tour guide and Kenneth was our driver. Both were phenomenal. Allan took sooo many good photos and was incredibly knowledgeable. Kenneth was a great driver and always around if we needed anything. This was the highlight of our trip!! The sloth sanctuary was amazing and we saw so many sloths. The hike and tubing were also amazing! Would recommend doing this tour. We went in November and got soo lucky with the weather. No rain at all either!

Absolutely superb - We changed our destination and went to the Cortez waterfall. We LOVED it. The guides (Michelle and German) were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The views were amazing and wonderful. The steps were wet and slippery, probably typical during rainy season. The tubing people were very good at keeping us safe and two of us loved the ride. One of the three of us was susceptible to motion sickness and had trouble toward the end of the ride. The man at the sanctuary couldn’t have been a better host. He made sure we Gotto see many animals and got good pictures.

Amazing tour!! - To start the driver was a very courteous and extremely safe driver. He made us feel very comfortable.
Then we met Allan, one of the best tour guides that we have had the pleasure to meet. He was not only kind, courteous, friendly, very informative, but you could tell he absolutely loves his occupation 🙂

Pura Vida - So worth it. The animal sanctuary could've been a little better but we were overall so pleased with the experience. Michelle was accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. The hike was a bit difficult but well worth the view of the blue waterfall. The water rafting was so fun. 10/10!

Best Day in Costa Rica - Best excursion of our whole Costa Rica trip! Genuinely an amazing time through seeing sloths, native specifies, beautiful hike to a most gorgeous waterfall, and tubing down a fun river. Our guide Michelle was the most incredible person and helped make the day even better. Highly recommend booking a day here for any ages! Would go back a million times.
