Geovanna was the best guide ever. Ask for her. 150 stars. - The park is beautiful and very accessible. There are restroom at the entry and one stop along the way. The route through the main park is paved in most spots and easy to walk through. No hills. Makes a loop. Go EARLY. It gets hot and crowded. When we booked this we were contacted by the tour company and offered transportation from Jaco which we booked. Best move ever. Our guide Geovanna was amazing. She stopped en route to find Macaws and was the absolute key to the park experience. She could spot a spider and 50 meters. Her passion for the park, the country, and sharing with us was unmatched. It made the park experience a true highlight of our trip. You could feel the joy she has for the park. Book with this operator and ask for this guide. You will not be sorry. There is a second part of the park that is at a different entrance and has trails. We went there too and saw monkeys.

Park tour - This tour was amazing. Jovana was the best tour guide we had in Costa Rica. She was very enthusiastic and found lots of animals for us. She was quirmte informed on all the flora and fauna. She made an extra special effort for us to see Scarlet macaws and we found a tree with 16 of them. This was the highlight of our 3 week trip. Amazing

Taking a walk in the forest and the jungle. - We had a wonderful tour with Geovanna. It started at 7:30 in the morning and we finished 11 in the in the same morning. We purchased our national park tickets ahead. It was no problem. The tour refunded the park's price. We saw bother access points to the park and walked through, jungle and old forest only km apart. We spotted lots of birds and wild life with our guide Geovanna. She is our friend now. It was such a great tour talkingvand walking with her and getting so much information. She would spot something and immediately get us looking in her scope. The picture here are from her scope to my phone. We hadn't seen a Macaw so Geovanna drove us to a stand of trees a few km from the area we were in and we saw about 15, on one Tree. The tour was wonderful. It was like walking and talking with your friend who is showing you her most prized possession. I don't think you can get better value than that! I recommend this company and I highly recommend Geovanna as your guide. ( All of them are great! especially the Vieja and the Viejo)😉

Beyond expectations - Booking the tour and communication afterwards was smooth. I'm not the first to say it, but I'm going to say it anyway: our guide Geovanna was the best! The tour was supposed to be 3 hours, but she extended it to 4.5, giving us ample opportunity to take all the photos we wanted, and going out of her way to find the best spots to take them. Very knowledgeable too, not just about the birds, but about the trees and plants too, and very much so about the ants. Highly recommended!

Tour Guide Was Great. Well worth it. Be Ready To Hike. - Geovanna was great. Amazing the animals she was able to spot for us to see! Otherwise, we would not have seen them! She is very proud of Costa Rica and its efforts to preserve natural habitats for animals. Informative, enthusiastic tour with memorable animal sitings - reptiles, birds, forest creatures.

The knowledge of the... - The knowledge of the guide and her ability to spot the tiniest of birds in a jungle forest was amazing. Wildlife sightings is not guaranteed, but we were treated to a pair of white-faced monkeys grooming each other in a tree. She also spied us several species of birds, insects and fauna. She is always ready with the telescope to show and take a photo with your phone.
