Amazing Day in Costa Rica! - Mau was our guide, Jaime was our driver. There was one other traveler with us. And the lunch included was a homemade meal and so delicious! We had an AMAZING DAY! We had planned to add the volcano hike, but that would have been too much for one day-except for someone that hikes regularly. I would 1000% do this again! Pura vida!

Highly Recommend - My fiancé and I had a great experience! It was nice having a guide and other travelers in a small group setting to see the Mystic rainforest and La Fortuna waterfall. The lunch was also excellent. We really enjoyed our guide and the tour!

Definitely Recommend - This is an amazing experience, and I recommend it for all ages. Having our guide (Francisco) was key because he knew what to look for, took amazing pictures, and was super knowledgeable. The waterfall was something to see, and my daughter had the best time swimming by it.

Marvelous Marvin - Marvin was an excellent guide. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things living. He patiently answered ALL of our questions. The tour was perfect with hike, swim, and the lunch. The lunch was beyond amazing.

Excellent guide. Outstanding tour! - Mau was a terrific guide on our half day tour of the Mistico Park hanging bridges and La Fortuna waterfall. We saw quite a bit of wildlife that we never would have noticed without Mau — birds, frogs, leaf cutter ants, tarantula burrows, snakes, lizards and sloths. He was very knowledgeable and definitely seemed to really enjoy helping us learn more about Costa Rica and its natural wonders. Lunch at the Rainforest Explorers private ranch afterwards was a highlight — one of the best meals we had in Costa Rica. Our family definitely enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it.

perfect! - Wonderful experience! I liked that it wasn't 9-10 hours like the other tours. It was a perfect amount. Fran did an amazing job helping us find wildlife and he was very knowledgeable in the birds, animals, and plants, and history. Unfortunately, we couldn't swim due to the high risk-it looked pretty dangerous! The only thing I am sad about is that I didn't see any sloths or monkeys-- but I have seen monkeys in Tamarindo but I never got to see sloths on my trip in CR! oh well-- next time!
