Jovana: Incredible guide! - We had an incredible tour! The scope of knowledge of our guide was so impressive. After 16 years of doing this job she was still excited when spotting the animals or hearing the birds. She also thoughtfully provided water and a snack partway thru the tour. Was overall a very positive experience! We highly recommend this tour.

Fun, educational tour - Our tour guide Geovanna - she was a great teacher and excited to share all of her knowledge with us. She also went out of her way to make sure we saw Macaws, which was very fun!

Joanna was exceptional - Joanna was magnificent and wonderful. You can tell she truly loves her job and country. I was inspired to become a Tico and become a tropical forest guide. Her love for nature transcends to others and she made sure we saw a flock of Macaws. Nothing but love for Joanna from Roger and Juli Martines.

Above and beyond - Our guide Ronaldo was excellent. He apologised for lack of animals in the main park but it's nature and you can't predict that. So when we finished (we did see a lot of cool stuff) he took us up the road and we did another walk. Then after that he took us down to the beach to see a tree full of Scarlet Macaws. Our tour was over 4 hours in the end and Ronaldo really did go above and beyond. He was very interesting to talk to and there was nothing we saw that he didn't know what it was. He even new the page numbers in his bird book. Thoroughly recommend the tour and ask for Ronaldo😁

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.
