Victor is very knowledgeable about his area. If you are going to get a guide, Victor is the guy you need. He is very friendly and down to earth and very trust worthy. Let he take you on the Mega Combo. It's worth the trip. More

We hired Victor for an early morning birding hike. He took us around the Lake Arenal area and we were exceptionally impressed with his birding knowledge, both by sight and by ear. He spotted everything we had hoped for, brought an excellent scope (I left mine in the van), took digiscope pictures for us, had a healthy fruit and cafe... More

We booked this excursion through Anywhere Costa Rica online and it was both simple and amazing. If you do not like to ride horses you will hate this. We trotted the horses quite a ways on this trip to make up time on the tour. The waterfall is just beautiful. The hike down is a little daunting, but the hike... More

My wife and I have been on multiple tours throughout our stay in The Arenal Volcano area. Victor was by far our favorite tour guide. We would highly recommend Victor, he respects nature, is very knowledgable and protects the people in which he guides. Victor made us feel safe, taught us a lot and provided us with some good laughs.... More

Horse ride was fun. 1 hour to falls area and then you have chance to use bathroom and change into bathing suit. 1 hour to hike down and swim in falls. 1 hour ride back to stable. Cost was $45 adult, $35 child. More

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Definitely worth the trip and the small fee ($10). Great pictures and even better swimming. A must see! Steep walks down and back up from the falls, but is quite worth the trek. Plenty of places to explore and the falls themselves are simply mesmerizing. Take the time to come to this s More

So we did the horeback ride to the waterfall and back. First of all - choose your horseback adventure company carefully. The company we went with was in such a hurry to get there and back that they could not seem to care less about our comfort. Also once we got to the waterfall - it was nearly 500 steep... More
