A day in paradise!

Published on Feb, 2025

Our tour of Llanos de Cortéz Waterfall + Rio Celeste Hike and Waterfall + Wildlife Sanctuary was amazing!!!! We saw two beautiful waterfalls, lots of animals/creatures and had a delicious lunch!! Verny was an absolutely awesome guide. He was so knowledgeable about the rain forest, the animals, Costa Rica and more. He was always listening and looking for animals and found many we would have never seen ourselves. He was kind, always concerned for our safety, and treated us like royalty. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone and would go again if I’m ever in the area.

Sloths, waterfalls, and more

Published on Feb, 2025

We had a wonderful time on our trip with Verny. He went above and beyond to meet every request we had. From the moment he picked us up, he was a wealth of knowledge about his country and has a real passion sharing his country with his guests. I highly recommend.

Wonderful waterfall/ hike and rainforest experience

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a great trip to see a LOT in one day. Verny was a great guide- he did everything with excellence. The waterfall is worth the hike and the animals exceeded our expectations. The lunch was delicious as well.

Not to be missed

We’re so happy we went on this tour. Our driver Hernan was kind and very accommodating. He had a broad knowledge of the area and was able to provide lots of interesting information and answer our questions well. The hike through the rainforest to the gorgeous waterfall was interesting and we saw some snakes. It was slightly crowded but fortunately we got there before more crowds started arriving. Saw many more animals at the sloth sanctuary: sloths, frogs, snakes, toucans and other birds and insects. Our guide was adept at pointing out creatures, and even took photos for us through her binoculars. Butterfly farm was also great, lots of varieties and colors. A long but wonderful day!

Outstanding experience, plentiful wildlife with responsible guide, beautiful views.

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a wonderful experience on our tour. Verny, our guide, was extremely accommodating and kind. We saw amazing wildlife including multiple sloths in the wild, tucans, tree frogs, bats, butterflies, snakes, coatis, and a tapir footprint. Rio Celeste and the waterfall are absolutely stunning. Lunch was wonderful as well! I highly recommend this company.
