A good day out on the hanging bridges. - Santos was a wonderful guide. He shared so much information on the Primary Wet Tropical forest, the animals, the eco system and more. He treated us to pineapple and watermelon at the end of our walk and made a special stop to show us a sloth sleeping up in a tree. The bridges gave us great views and some fun swaying with the motion of people making there way across. A very good day!

Sloths, monkeys, huge trees & a toucan - My son and I had the very best day!! Our guide, Catalina, went out of her way to find us sloths and explain cool details about the flora and fauna. She's a biology student so she knew alot of the scientific facts. We saw so many animals... sloths, ant eater, spider monkeys and a yellow viper. We didn't see a toucan :( on the way into town Catalina had the driver go out of the way to an area she knew had toucan. Voila! A big Yellow Throated Toucan to end our tour.

Arenal Combo tour - The young guide was amazing: very knowledgeable, extremely patient with our adult son who has Aspergers Syndrome (as well as us— a newly retired couple that is not as quick as we used to be), generously took pictures with our phones through her telescope. Her enthusiasm and passion for nature made the experience extra special. We highly recommend her. Ww saw a lot of wildlife and had great views. Enjoyed the hot springs soak at the end, following a lot of walking

Above and beyond and made our day. - Our guide was very knowledgeable, with excellent English skills and the driver made getting to and between stops very convenient. He also spotted a sloth in a tree on the roadside and immediately pulled over so we could see. The guide used her scope to let us see better and get good photos.

Fabulous if exhausting day - We used this company twice. Once in La Fortuna where our guide Erica took us on a hike to view the Arenal Volcano, then to see La Fortuna waterfall and finally to the Arenal Hanging Bridges. Erica was brilliant, cheerful, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable plus a budding photographer who took some great pictures for us with her spotting scope. Great day but very long and we were exhausted by the end. Got a great night's sleep though!

Hanging Bridge Tour with Kristel Co - Our tour with Kristel was spectacular She was very friendly and extremely informative. She hand a keen eye and spotted animals we would never seen on our own. Additionally she shared facts specific to the rainforest and Costa Rica. Her English was exceptional. We would highly recommend using a tour guide on your excursions.
