National park-white faced monkey’s galore - Our tour guide (Roland) was excellent. He was able to spot animals like the scarlet macaw and black-mandibles toucan from far away and using his telescope we were able to get amazing pictures. Without his help we wouldn’t have been able to see the animals!!

Go with a guide! - Guided hike is the way to go! Sure you can follow the trails on your own, but you will likely miss out on a huge amount of wildlife sightings. Giovanna was our spectacular guide. Passionate, knowledgeable, and a quick eye! And added bonus was her telescope, great for viewing but also she knew how to take our cell phones and get those gorgeous close up photos. Monkeys, agoutiz, macaw, toucan, assorted birds lizards and frogs 🐸 we got it all. Excellent day outing, about 2.5 miles of easy walking, though you could make it shorter. Sge made the day!

Amazing wildlife tour! - Giana was an amazing guide! We would have missed 90% of the animals without her keen eye. She was very knowledgeable and friendly and passionate about the wild life of Costa Rica.

Great tour with a great guide! - We loved this tour!!! Giovanna, our tour guide, was shining with enthusiasm: her passion for nature and her pride about her country’s preservation efforts made our experience unforgettable! Beyond her sharp eye to spot all kinds of animals, no matter how far or how small, she continuously fostered a fun and laid back atmosphere that helped the entire group connect and have a great time together! And, in fact, she was so eager to ensure we all had the best from the tour that, many many times, she even took pictures herself with our semi-pro camera - some animals are real masters in hiding in plain sight, and we can only wish we had her sharp eye! We definitely recommend Giovanna and the Carara tour!

It was such a wonderful... - It was such a wonderful experience. Our guide was so knowledgeable and experienced. She helped us to see many animals that we wouldn’t have been able to spot on our own. Furthermore, she shared the stories for each of them. It was a pity that our time together was too short. She was willing to spend longer time with us but it was getting dark. Wished we arrived earlier than scheduled time as she did.

Great tour guide, beautiful place - Ronald was fantastic, very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw a poison dart frog, howler monkeys, capuchin monkeys, spider monkeys, agoutis, and several species of birds. It was very muddy and humid, a beautiful place!

12/24 Carara - Ronald - Our tour guide, Ronald, was amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable about the creatures in the park and really cares about giving the customer the best service. He spotted a 1 inch sized hummingbird to show us. The park is spectacular as well.

Where are the scarlet macaws? - Our guide, Roger, could not find any scarlet macaws although there is a large flock of them at Carara, which is why we travelled to this region. Our Bed & Breakfast owner arranged for us to have a different guide, who then easily found the birds...
