- Y8723GIphilw0 contributionsFirst time in costa ricaGreat tour, Byron was an excellent guide and made it super fun. Area is very pretty and the people we great. Definitely do it againWritten 6 December 2024
- 651manishak0 contributionsMust see tour if you're in San Jose.The coffee tour was pretty cool. I went with a bunch of people from around here, and the guides were nice enough to do the tour in both English and Spanish. The only downside was that it started an hour later than what TripAdvisor said, and they didn't provide transportation like they said they would. But besides that, the tour itself was really fun.Written 3 December 2024
- mjzhart0 contributionsNight walk - good frogs, wrong time postedThe guide was great and helped us discover many frogs and other things like spiders and centipedes. We were upset with the fact that we booked a 530pm tour and when we arrived we were told our tour wasn’t until 6:15. Even though our reservation said 530. We had to sit and wait over 45 minutes to start.Written 2 December 2024
- gabythomas20 contributionsGreat ziplineLove this place, amazing zipline, lovely views, great operation with lots of safety and proffesional staff. Well come back hereWritten 1 December 2024
- travelmaven_70 contributionsHanging Bridges at Selvatura Park in MonteverdeI completed the hanging bridges skywalk in Selvatura Park in Monteverde, Costa Rico. It was a very nice experience. It was raining the entire time, but that didn't put a damper on my self-guided tour. The tour included round trip transfers from my hotel + entrance fee for the skywalk. It was a total of $55. I completed the tour in 2 hours. Although the estimated time was 1 hour. I stopped to take videos and pictures. I also took a brief rest, as there are steps getting up to the bridges, and lots of steps coming down. I highly recommend this experience.Written 20 November 2024
- AlaskaFamly0 contributionsLots of frogs!We really enjoyed this walk, and learned a lot. Our guide, Juan, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, although some information I looked up later on walking palms makes me think he wasn't quite so knowledgeable about trees as he is a list snakes and amphibians. He did an amazing job spotting animals to show us, and had a lot of interesting information to impart. He is soft-spoken, so if you weren't close to him, you were likely to miss a few morsels of information. Juan took his time and answered all of our questions. There were several other groups touring at the same time, and that does always impact your experience, but in this case it was managed well and we would recommend this tour.Written 13 November 2024
- N5680QRbrendam0 contributionsCoffee Plantation tourWe really enjoyed this tour, the information was Interesting and lush grounds and flowers were so beautiful. Every step from planting , harvesting, and roasting explained and Luis was funny while sharing the details. The meal was delicious. Coffee was excellent.Written 10 November 2024
- Robert C0 contributionsHanging bridges and ziplines tourThe scenic activities included in the ziplines or hanging bridges tour will amaze, educate and certainly thrill you!! On the hanging brides tour we saw sloths, exotic frogs and birds, vipers and monkeys. All pointed out and photographed by our guide!!! The hanging bridges tour is about 11k steps over 2 hours. Helps to be somewhat fit. The ziplines activity consists of 6 ziplines over and through the top canopy of the triple canopy rainforest. It was exhilarating and both are unforgettable!!!Written 27 October 2024
- hanspeterS1040 contributionsSan Jose VIP City Bus tourThe tour was a great overview of the history and culture of San Jose and Costa Rica itself. Hector was amazing in his knowledge and personality and he and the musician, the food, all well done. Would highly recommend !Written 22 October 2024
- H9062GXstacyh0 contributionsIt's akay but can be better.Enjoyed the night tour in La Fortuna! Our guide was knowledgeable and pointed out some interesting wildlife. It was a fun experience, but I think it needs some tweaks. 3 stars!Written 18 October 2024
- 433brookew0 contributionsFly highWe did the hike then zip lining. The hike wasn’t so bad super cool seeing the animals. We saw a few monkeys and snakes. The zip lining was tons of fun even in the rain. The guides were amazing and would definitely do it again!Written 18 October 2024
- K3044ZKkatep0 contributionsWonderful combination tourExcellent tour although legroom on bus is tight. Max was an amazing guide and Roy, our driver, navigated some serious traffic issues wonderfully. Breakfast was usual Costa Rican breakfast well prepared. Max knew everything about the coffee farming, guided us through Poas helping us know when the clouds would clear to view the crater. Amazing views. La Paz waterfall gardens were wonderful, buffet lunch, animals, and spectacular waterfalls. Definitely worth the price!Written 15 October 2024
- pldelaney0 contributionsRafting with friendsGreat time spent rafting and learning abut the ecosystem around the river. Went with a friend and the three of us had a wonderful time, finished off by an excellent lunch.Written 14 September 2024
- Bw211580 contributionsDo this!!Highly recommended! The 11am group tour was informative and highly entertaining. Probably the most entertaining tour I’ve ever had! We also did a private tour at 8:30am just with Luis, which I highly recommend. We visited a plantation and he walked us through all the interesting details of how coffee is farmed and the history of it. Luis was amazing and you should definitely do this tour!Written 7 September 2024
- andreavW1509JZ0 contributionsSimply Amazing!What an amazing time! I was a little nervous because I had never been water rafting before, but the guides made the whole process smooth and made me feel super comfortable. The views are amazing! I would definitely do this trip again! They do take professional pictures of you and the boat you’re on which is also pretty cool.Written 2 September 2024
