          Great visit to Manuel Antonio Park
          We visited Manuel Antonio park with Jeremy. He was a fantastic guide, perfect English, great knowledge, was amazing at spotting wildlife, friendly and enthusiastic. He spotted a vine snake, 5 sloths, toucans and lots more. It was our best guided walk in Costa Rica. The organisation of the trip was efficient. We were a family of four adults, youngest aged 21.

          10/10 Experience!
          We had the BEST time with Tucanes Tours doing the Manuel Antonio National Park hike! Our guide was EXTREMELY informative, answered all our questions, and knew how to spot all of the animals. 10/10 would recommend this company!

          Transfer by bus between Manuel António and SAN José.
          Me and my family did a transfer between Manuel António and SAN José in August, 26 with Tucanestours and all went well. The bus was modern, with climatization, Wi-Fi and our driver, Gabriel was very friendly and profissional. We recommend it!

          Tour of ManualAntonio National Oark - excellent
          Karla Alvarado was our wonderful guide for this tour. Karla’s bubbly energy is infectious and we all had a really great time on the tour. Her specialist knowledge of local animals and plants is excellent. She spotted so many animals for us, she’s great at focusing her telescope very quickly and brilliant at taking photos for us using her telescope. The tour was around 4-5 hours long, we saw 3 types of monkeys, lizards, different birds, all sorts of insects and crabs. Then we swam and enjoyed the gorgeous warm Pacific Ocean for around an hour before walking along both sides of the Tombolo. The driver was there waiting when we came out of the park once we were out of the local streets which Karla whisked us through quickly and easily. The fruit, snacks and ice tea were very welcome. Great morning tour - thank you Karla

          Brenda was the Best!!
          We went on the Manual Antonio hiking tour on August 18 2024. It was fantastic! Our guide Brenda did such a great job of pointing out animals that were camouflaged in the rainforest that we would never found on our own. Adult 2 and 3 toed sloths and a young sloth newly on its own. We saw all 3 types of monkeys native to Costa Rica as well. Also colorful toucans and other native birds and animals. Brenda was so knowledgeable of the nature, plants, animals and history. Her information was so helpful! She took photos for us through her lenses that will provide us with wonderful memories! She was so kind and also professional at the same time. The hike was a highlight of our vacation to Costa Rica! If you have a chance to do this tour while in Costa Rica - don't hesitate - GO! and ask for Brenda!

          Kayak, snorkeling and lunch
          Kayaking was amazing. The views were breath taking and snorkeling with the fish was so fun!! We got to swim for a bit, too, which was an added bonus. Lunch was super tasty, too.

          Easy trek to Manuel Antonio
          Ronald was an excellent guide. We went on a rainy day and Ronald was still able to spot sloths, iguanas, snakes. Included breakfast and lunch were delicious. Van ride was comfortable. Humberto was a great driver.

          The Rainforest Tour, Tortuga Island and San Jose City Tour were all booked thru our incredible rep Carlos at the Studio Hotel. Each tour was FANTASTIC! Our entire experience with Tuscane Tours was fun and the food was EXCELLENT! We highly recommend all three of the Tuscane Tours we joined. The company’s pricing is competitive and the customer service provided was superb! We would book thru Carlos again. He ROCKS!

          Mangrove Boat tour
          We did the Mangrove boat tour. Our guide Alvin was very friendly, knowledgeable and provided lots of information throughout the tour. Our driver also went above and beyond to help us spot wildlife on the way to and from the tour. They truly made it a great experience and we would highly recommend them!

          Jairo, Jonathan, Leandro the Best !!!!!
          I will start with how personable our guides were ! We were never bored and appreciated the opportunity to experience the landscape and Costa Rica Palm Plantation, They pointed out the wildlife along the way making sure the kids in the group saw them. The breakfast was perfect quick clean and delicious. Everything was spotless. We had lunch at the same spot open air cafeteria style with selections again just perfect. Our guides were a world of knowledge so we were never bored on the ride up. It kept the kids in the group entertained and excited for the ride. Frogs, sloth, Macaws, plants, but no delays in reaching the waterfalls and Rapids. The safety briefing was thorough we were prepared for a safe run. My husband Jean Francois Joseph Sheena Bryan and Gina our adults group were having a thrilling ride. We travel all over with our family and tour it was one of the best times we have had in any country. We have been to Costa Rica many times over the last 8 yrs no more gracious people and beautiful topography. After these trips the Grands and Greatgrands always ask for destinations not theme parks. We are done with that !! In your travels remember Costa Rica 3 hour flight from main land USA and most relaxing peaceful destination ever. Thank you Jairo Jonathan Leandro for the wonderful pictures as well and sharing your knowledge with us . Couldn’t have asked for a better time with the nicest of host . Safety was 1st and foremost their concern very Watchful eyes but it never came to play because of the brief.

          Great Transportation for Long Distance Travels!
          Marlo was our driver. Not only did he go out of his way to make sure we were comfortable, but he also was able to make the long trip enjoyable and not too bumpy on the curvy roads. Thank you Marlo for keeping us safe!

          Very safe and fun! Felt totally in good hands with the guides. The river was level 4 at the time and my wife have never tried rafting before, but had an unforgettable day!

        Excellent time! The rapids are definitely fun, and the crew makes it an even better time! Highly recommend the add-on for the pictures as they came out terrific. Carlos did a great job on the bus on the way to launch telling us about the area and Costa Rica. Our guide Pablo was terrific as well. Great time on the river through the rapids as well as just chatting during the last 20 minutes or so which are relatively more tame. Highly recommended! Pura Vida! 🇨🇷🤙

        Amazing experience the tour guides were so nice so chill and so awesome to just chill with. If you wanted to be crazy they were down to go nuts but if not u could also just chill. We flipped a bunch of times making the experience so much fun. It’s very very safe and they know exactly what they are doing. Highly recommend this.

        A group of us did white water rafting with the team. My 10y was very nervous at the beginning. The guide (Mona) was terrific. Made her feel very relaxed and comfortable. Then guided us through a series of Class III and IV rapids with expertise and precision. Loved it and most importantly my daughter was happy too.

        We had THE BEST time on our whitewater trip. Nicolas was the best guide, genuinely in love with his job, meeting new people and his home, Costa Rica. We asked for mas aqua and he did not disappoint. We haven’t even finished out time in Manuel Antonio and I already know this will be the highlight of our entire trip to Costa Rica.

        Nicholas and Eric---THANK YOU for an exhilarating experience! We were originally booked on the Class 2-3 (Saverge) river trip but poor weather the day prior prevented that trip so Toucanes Tours offered to have us do the class 3-4 trip. I'll admit I was scared even through I've been rafting lots of times--but both Nicholas and Eric spent time explaining all of the safety procedures and we easily put our trust in them. Do NOT do this tour unless you are okay with getting completely soaked--that's part of the fun. River water is warm--rapids are very challenging. Since we went during rainy season, the water was very high (at it's most dangerous level). Even at the most dangerous and scary moments of this trip, I never doubted that Nicholas and Eric would manage with their experience--and they did!

        Highly recommend this trip--not for the faint-hearted. It should be on your bucket-list! Thank you Nicholas, Eric and Toucanes Tours for a wonderful experience.

        We had a great time whitewater rafting with Ronnie and Gustav with Tucanes Tours on August 1. 2021. We lucked out having two guides in our small raft of 5 pp total as Gustav was in training. We felt completely safe and it was obvious that Ronnie knew the river extremely well. He even let our 15-year old son “bull ride” the front of the raft through some class ll and lll rapids, and let us surf some cool spots. We had signed up for Rio Savegre, so we were surprised to find ourselves at Rio Naranjo. Even so, all was great and the team of guides on our trip were fun and entertaining. Special holler out for Nicolas, the person who orients your on the bus, and Mario the driver who really added to the trip with his knowledge about the local plants and spiders!

        The only reason we didn’t put five stars is the fact that Tucanes Tours charges top dollar for this trip compared to other companies in the area and with that in mind, it was surprising they didn’t include the cost of photos of their guests on the river. They hit you with it ($40 US) at the end when you are eating lunch. Equally as surprising was that the tour write up notes that they provide their guests water and fruit, as well as lunch, but the very first thing we were told when we got off the bus was that we could buy bottled water at their Tucanes Tour market. That made no sense for three huge reasons: 1. As an eco-tourism business, Tucanes Tours shouldn’t be encouraging tourists to buy plastic water bottles, 2. The company promised in writing that water was provided - its safe for guests to assume before, during and after the tour, and 3. It isn’t easy to take a bottle of water in raft unless you put it in guide’s dry bag, and then you probably won’t remember to drink it during the river trip. However, neither of these problems are reflection on their incredible team of guides as this is officially a company policy. I suggest Tucanes tour owners reevaluate their water policies and include 5-10 photos of their guests in the cost.

        We were picked up on time at our hotel by the enthusiastic guide, Nicolas and our safety, Orlando. Along with one other couple, we were transported to the Tucanes tour office and lunch site and loaded onto an open-air bus. From there we embarked on a one-hour trip up a winding road along the Naranjo River. Following our safety briefing, we dropped into the river and rode some exciting rapids - lots of chop in the swift, dam-less river. As part of the season, the river was mocha-colored with its banks covered in jungle forest. We were soaked immediately and worked through lots of lines for a fun trip. Towards the end, we stopped and visited a beautiful waterfall, then returned to the raft to continue on our 90-minute trip (or so). At the pull out, our driver had some fresh fruit and drinks prepared and we drove back into town, about 20 minutes away (past palm oil plantations). Lunch was included, and we had some cafeteria-style options with some delicious chicken and rice. Great trip, nice focus on safety, and plenty of opportunities to discuss eco-tourism with our guide.

        Great fun, great care and a must do when in the area. Had planned to go with my 18-year old but came down with a cold and had to stay in bed last minute. Being off-season it turned out we would have been the only ones and without me they were one pair of hands short. They went out of their way to mobilise someone to help out so that my son could still have a great experience. Thank you!
