Hiking in Carara National Park - Our tour guide was knowledgeable and the hiking was perfectly suited for beginners and seniors. We were able to see a baby sloth, scarlet macaws, toucans, poisonous dart frogs, leaf cutter and army ants, native birds, a rare white bat, we heard and saw Howler monkeys and the trail had many huge old trees along the way.

Great guide who spent 4 hours helping us see the wonders of Carara NP - Our guide was superb. She was so excited when she located another bird or monkey. Used a spotting scope to help us see the animal or bird life

So much fun! - Fantastic guide Ronald. He was very knowledgeable and super friendly. Having the telescope was a huge plus. Got to see everything from monkeys, to macaws to poison dart frogs, and even a sloth. Great experience!

Best guided tour we had in Costa Rica - Probably most exciting reserve tour we had during our 2 weeks at Costa Rica. Tour guide Andrey was so energetic and informative. He went way above traditional route to make sure we saw Red Macaw

Fantastic tour thank you Geovanna! - Book this trip! Geovanna our guide was lovely and friendly, and she has incredible spotting skills and telescope skills! Thanks to Geovanna we got to see over 25 different species including a sloth, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, a tarantula (asleep in its nest) and some super cute bats. Geovanna also shared lots of her knowledge of the park with us, and is clearly passionate and proud of this beautiful place. Had we walked round on our own we would have seen nothing much so this tour is very worthwhile! We didn’t see scarlet macaws in the park itself but Geovanna knew where to find them so we drove two minutes down the road and she showed us a pair at their nest.

Best last minute decision we made! - Geovanna and Daniele were AMAZING!!!!! They asked us what we wanted to see and arranged it perfectly. They already had the telescope set up on a sloth at the entrance, I literally do not how they spotted the stuff they did. They taught us a lot about Costa Rica. Communication was great. We saw sloth, family of howler monkeys, 3 kinds of bats, yellow throated toucan, brown vine snake, so many other birds and animals. We forgot to bring water and they had some extra on hand. We are so so so glad we booked this last minute. They adjusted the telescope for my children to see easier, they were a plethora of knowledge about all of the flora and fauna. I was so impressed and so happy we booked this! They took photos through the telescope with our phones as well. The trail was easy, nice and flat, didn’t get too hot until the end. Geovanna is a certified guide and has been doing this for over 15 years and you could tell, it was so amazing to learn from her. Don’t miss us out!

Geovanna was the most amazing guide - Geovanna made this experience for us! As a guide, she was knowledgeable and dedicated to sharing her wonderful National Park with us. In addition, she was incredibly kind, helping our 2 and 4 year old children along the way. What a wonderful way to see part of Costa Rica.

Best guide ever! - We had Ronald for our tour guide on our last day in Costa Rica. How lucky were we! He was just amazing. He showed us so many birds in three hours. Unbelievable. He is so knowledgeable. Great personality. Lots of fun. We are photographers so he took the time to show us where his find was so we could get the best pictures. Just an awesome person and guide. Ask for Ronald, you will be very happy you did! Mary New York March 2024

Ronald rocks Carara National Park - Ronald was an excellent guide to Carara National Park. He was very knowledgeable and constantly on the lookout for animals. He found two toed and three toed sloths, two bat species, a pit viper, agouti, coati, reptiles, insects, howler Monkeys and several beautiful, colorful birds! He shared stories of natural history. He helped each member take pictures with his telescope. He was funny and a pleasure to spend time with. We loved Ronald's tour! Thank you

Carara National Park an easy access to Costa Rica wildlife - Carara is one of the many national wildlife refugees in Costa Rica. It is close to Jako and San Jose and its easy access makes it a popular destination. When we vistited, there was a steady stream of visitors, but nothing like the press of tourists we experienced at Manuel Antonio. The park is accessible in two entrances. You need to purchase your entrance ticket at the main gate. The second gate is a few kilometers down the road. A guard was there to check for an entrance ticket. While the park is lovely and has nicely maintained paths, the trails are all very close to the highway. The road noises drowns out any wildlife calls (I read somewhere that the human noise confuses birds and reduces bird calls). It was dissapointing and our guide (who was very well-informed) mainly showed us wildlfe that wasn't moving (like sleeping bats, lizards and snakes). We had better luck at the second, quieter entrance where we saw more birds and mammels.
