The only bad experience we had while in Costa Rica- booked a snorkling tour they cancelled because of the weather (unforeseen circomstances, we kind of understood - the weather wasn't that bad, but they are the experts, so... ) Because of our tight travel schedule, rebooking was not possible and we agreed on a refund. So far so good. Unfortunately - that took a lot of time and effort - but -fair is fair - we did receive it in the end (after 7 weeks or so, and a lot of messages). Not too sure if i would book here again.

This tour didn't really live up to expectation. The guide didn't translate much of what the Awa said even though 2 of us out of the group of 3 didn't speak much Spanish which made things a little awkward. He would sit away from the group talking to the driver while the shaman was talking to us and we didn't know what he was saying. I felt I would come away knowing a lot about Bribri culture but I don't. The chocolate making was enjoyable and the parts that were translated were very interesting. I don't know what happened to the waterfall part of the tour as this was never mentioned. I didn't mind too much as I had already visited it on another tour but I could imagine others being disappointed

We booked this tour in April 2023 and were not satisfied. The guide was ok and as always with animal sightings there is a lot of luck involved, we knew this in advance so it’s ok that we didn’t see a leatherback turtle. However, what I cannot wrap my head around is the price of 120 USD for two people for this tour. We drove with our own car to Gandoca beach (so no shuttle involved), met the guide there and then “waited” for the turtles to appear for three hours. There is a night patrol monitoring the beach and they flash their red lights if a turtle comes out of the water. So basically, after walking a few minutes up and down the beach, we sat on a fallen tree, the guide played games on his cellphone (which I also do not understand since we were asked to not use white lights on the beach) and waited for the signs of the patrol. We didn’t have a shuttle or snacks (which we didn’t need but were also not included in the price) and there was no entrance fee to the national park, so I really don’t understand why on earth this tour is so expensive. Wouldn’t recommend.

We did a night turtle watching tour. It was well organized , very knowledgeable guide and we actually saw a leatherback turtle nest. It was so special. Also we booked the tour the night before through what’s app , paid with PayPal and everything worked out fine.

This tour did not quite live up to what was sold, and was a little unstructured. Our guide Anthony was fantastic though, and did a great job of bringing it to life. He really wanted us to have a good time and went out of his way to do so. Five stars for the guide, it just wasn’t what was expected.

We are so glad we went on the chocolate and waterfall tour! After days of beaches and jungles it was very special to learn about local BriBri culture, uses of native flora, and participate in traditional ways of making chocolate. Our guide Kendall clearly had a deep respect for the indigenous world view and was a friendly and knowledgeable interpreter for us. The waterfall was the perfect end to our day, and he patiently gave us all the time we needed to enjoy a relaxing afternoon. Would definitely recommend!

Our guide was very friendly and helpful, especially given our lack of Spanish language abilities. We toured the lagoon and saw a number of animals and birds. The guide saw things we would have never noticed. Gandoca was a nice change of pace after San José and Puerto Viejo. We were the only ones at the beach!

This tour was one of the highlights of my time in Costa Rica! The family that teaches you about the culture, history and their present way of life was so interesting. I was part of a group with four other people. The family made all of us so comfortable that we were able to relax and joke with the group and the guide. We were shown how to survive in the jungle, how to make chocolate and we participated in a sweat lodge ceremony. We had a delicious lunch. Then we went and took a swim in a beautiful waterfall. The whole time was surreal. I plan to go again. This is an activity that should not be missed!

On our last evening in Costa Rica we decided to squeeze in a nighttime sea turtle watching. Guide was very knowledgable and passionate about the area and turtles, especially behind that he was local. We learned a lot about turtles that evening. We did end up waiting for quite awhile in fear that no turtles would appear but we had the change to witness a leatherback turtle arrive on the beach and lay her eggs. The animal was absolutely incredible and impressive to see - so big and prehistoric looking. Absolutely amazing and wholesome experience - one that we will never forget. Sadly no photos are allowed but they make our memories even more special.

Very beautiful scenery, saw lots of herron, a few monkeys. Not a lot of animals but that’s not the tours fault. Finished the tour with fresh pipa freia from the owners home. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Great kayak tour. The guide was knowledgeable & pointed out animals along the way. He also took us hiking after the kayaking.

Super service on both sides of the border and with the boat transfert to Bocas del Toro. Fast and easy at the Panama border. Very satisfied !

We used the services of very friendly operator, and he arranged a great walk thru Cahuita Nature Reserve Park, and he also took us for the whole day trip to Panama, to beautiful Boca islands beach! Well-organized, good prices, and he's a delight to work with!

We booked a very good priced return transfer to Bocas. The price was very good, we saved 14$ each. We were picked up on time from our hotel in PV. Driver was excellent, very safe and helped us with our luggage and passports/exit visa 9$ to pay at the border. Then took us across the bridge to meet our Panama shuttle which was waiting for us and other passengers. We were then helped with passport entry before waiting for other passengers and then drove to Ferry 40 mins followed by quick transfer to Bocas.

We booked an activity with this company recommended by friends. The area was amazing, a lot of nature just what we wanted, our guide named Giberto was very attentive to show us the many species that inhabit the area. After almost 2.5hr walking we arrived at the small community of Gandoca where we had a delicious typical lunch.   We recommend good footwear and hydration. We loved the service punctuality and knowledge of the guide.
