Birthday trip for the books - So much to say about Eddie who had made my first trip to Costa Rica one to remember. He was very responsive and came and picked me and my group up. If you want a private tour with a fun tour guide, Eddie is your guy. He taught us so much about Costa Rica and took us to many places. We got to spend all day exploring, swimming at waterfalls and enjoying the beach. I got to have an extra extra extra special birthday because of him. ;) PURA VIDA! Thank you Eddie for everything I’ll never forget my trip

Friendly Guide - I have yet to receive the photos taken from the tour, but I had a good time and went solo, the guide I went with didn’t make me feel uncomfortable or anxious. The restaurant we went to was but slow but the food was very good. The rivers and jump points were definitely the highlight.

The BEST Day with our big family! - We reached out to Bright Adventures to plan a tour four our family group of 18 ages 7-71. From the moment I contacted Eddie I knew we would be in great hands by his excellent communication. We had the BEST day exploring waterfalls, caves and beaches with Eddie and his wonderful crew! As soon as they pulled up to pick us all up in a really nice shuttle with a crew of 4, I knew it was going to be a great day! We went to 3 waterfalls with fun and adventurous jumps, slides, swinging ropes and swimming. We appreciated that Eddie was very safety conscious. The waterfalls were very powerful due to recent rain, and he went above and beyond with safety compared to other groups we saw. Eddie was very knowledgeable and shared interesting history along each drive. He, Luis and Brian were SO much fun with the 10 kids in our group. When they weren't leading us, lifeguarding or taking photos, they were playing with the kids, cutting up fruit for us and generally just the nicest guys to hang out with. The included lunch was way beyond what we expected. Everything we ordered was delicious and the restaurant had amazing ocean views. We had plenty of time to explore every stop and never felt rushed. Eddie even bought snow cones for everyone at one of the beaches. At the end of the tour we had the option to purchase all of the (hundreds!) of pics and videos Eddie took for a very reasonable price. I can't thank Eddie and his crew enough for this day with our family that we will never forget! We will definitely use them again next time we are in Costa Rica.

Great guides, all the best locations! - We had a great, personal tour with Eddie and Ruiz! They were willing to adjust the itinerary based on what we wanted to see, prioritized us being safe but still having a good time and teaching us as much as they could about Costa Rica. Definitely would recommend!

Gorgeous waterfall adventure day - Excellent full day of adventure! Eddie and Andy were the best. The waterfalls were gorgeous and we always felt safe and well-informed. The national parks we visited were gorgeous and the lunch stop had the best arroz con pollo we had this trip! This is a must-do part of our next vacation in Costa Rica! Can’t wait to bring our family.

Greatest tour guide EVER!! - Greatest tour ever!!!! Bright Adventures is the best! Eddie and Erwin made our adventure the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. They set the bar extremely high and showed us a side of Costa Rica that we didn't expect. Both were considerate and compassionate towards my daughter and myself. They were knowledgeable about their environment and its flora and fauna. I really recommend taking a tour with this company and you'll not be disappointed, worth every penny and then some.

Highlight of our trip! - This was an amazing tour and one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica! Eddie did a fantastic job as our tour guide, making sure our kids were having fun, instructing us on the safest way to jump/experience the waterfalls and natural water slide, and tailoring the trip to all the participants. Thank you for such a great day!

Fantastic waterfall adventure - This was an amazing full day waterfall tour. Eddie (our guide) was fantastic, encouraging us to fully enjoy our day, tailoring the tour to all of the participants, and making sure we knew how safe everything was (some of the places to jump at the waterfall stops were intimidating!). The staff (Eddie and co-guide) made sure our kids were having fun and were safe as well. I would highly recommend this tour!

If you could only choose one, pick this! - Pick this one. Do others too, but if you can only do one... This needs to be it.
Full day, full of unbelievable experiences escorted by an amazing human who is highly knowledgeable, so personable and professional.
This journey highlights some breathtaking places including waterfalls, waterfalls and... Waterfalls! Swim, jump, and simply soak in Costa Rica. You'll also experience the rainforest and its secrets, fabulous beaches, sea caves and more.
We learned more about Costa Rica during this one tour than on our entire trip. Looking back, hands down this was our favorite adventure.
Thank you Eddie for sharing this place with us and making us feel like trusted friends.
