About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- travel4lifes0 contributionsLoved all the activities!We did combo one - La Fortuna water fall, Arenal Volcano Hike, lunch, Natural Hot River, Volcano mud. It's really fun! Loved all the activities! Norrrlan our guide is really funny, fun and friendly! Highly recommend him! (P.S., it's better to bring water shoes for "water fall" and "hot river", it helped big time walking on the rocks in the water, if you don't have one, you can just buy it here at a small shop, only USD$12.Written January 21, 2025
- kodyh580 contributionsBit disappointingOur guides were amazing! Very kind and talented at spotting wildlife. They used their telescope thingys to make sure we could see as much wildlife as possible. however, the weather was terrible! It dumped rain on us the entire time :( as a result, the waterfall did not look like what we were hoping for and the trail became quite treacherous. Really slippery, sloshy and overall not great. We couldn’t even swim in the river at the end because of the strong currents. The guide confessed they knew the weather was going to be bad and that the waterfall would not look good, so I do wish they had of given the option to reschedule the tour. Especially as a budget traveller, I am not willing to pay to do the tour again so I was left very disappointed.Written January 21, 2025

- jacquelinenU1885VS0 contributionsJust try to get Eric as your guide, and you're set.Eric was THE tour guide. He knows his stuff and infuses it with a great sense of humor. I loved that he was just as captivated with the plants and animals for the 400-500th time doing the tours as we were doing the tour the 1st time. He even volunteered to take the photos on our phones for us because he knew just the right way to cast the light, position the camera, etc. A real gem, you're lucky to get him as a guide if you do! PS: He would like to go as "Jose" in the reviews if they are bad, but since this is a good review, I chose to keep his real name.Written January 17, 2025
- edwardfR8651EU0 contributionsAmazing your work experience. Frandel was awesome.Frandel was amazing. He answered all of our questions and was very knowledgeable. He explained the history of the cultivation of both chocolate and coffee. He took us through the production of both coffee and chocolate. We were able to see the plants from maturation to harvest through production. We were able to taste the fruit in the many stages as well. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the process of either coffee or chocolate.Written January 17, 2025
- Princess S0 contributionsCombo 3 tourWe had a great time. It was tiring day but Norlan and Eric made it fun. Norlan is hilarious. Lunch was good. All the guides were knowledgeable and that really helped the quality of the tour. Pura Vida!Written January 17, 2025
- 710vinced0 contributionsTour guide Neirtyn was excellent.Our tour guide Neirtyn was excellent. He exhibited youthful enthusiasm, brought along a telescope on a tripod and a pair of binoculars, and was extremely friendly and pleasant natured. He also had a keen eye for spotting even the smallest of creatures during our hike. To top it off, it was clear that he had studied hard to know the names, growth cycles and other interesting information about both the typical flora and fauna of Costa Rica.Written January 16, 2025

We had a fantastic tour with Jason! He was fantastic at spotting lots of different animals, including owls, snakes, lizards, rodents, bullet ants and of course sloths. He was also very informative about all of the animals we encountered and great at taking picture too. Thanks Jason you made that a great tour!!

Our guide was very friendly and good at spotting all different types of wildlife. The only thing we didn’t like was when it started raining and we took a few seconds to grab our raincoats out of our backpack he and the group were long gone. My husband is a ridiculously fast walker and he was walking quick to catch up and didn’t reach the group until the end of the trail when they were back at the front entrance. You would think if we’re out with venomous snakes and frogs they would want to keep an eye out for all the customers. Oh well, we made it out okay.

Booked for 10:30 and when there werent enough people to come with they said we booked for 11:00. When we wanted to leave all of a sudden 10:30 was possible. Tour itself was great. Marvin did a really good job, enthousiastic and could tell a lot!

Joseph made the tour. Actual tour was a serious tourist trap and one should only sign up if seriously bored or unathletic. but our guide was truly gifted and could make a paper box seem incredibly interesting. I hope they pay Joseph well. He has a gift.

We had Joni as our tour guide and he was absolutely amazing! Very intelligent and had an eye of a HAWK! His vision was impeccable! Although $50 is a bit pricey to just walk a trail I hope it goes to the nationals instead of foreign companies.

We took our parents who both use canes- the trail was very flat and accessible. Our guide Neifryn was very helpful and used the telescopes to help our parents see and take photos of the animals! I would recommend this tour for anyone with family or with mobility needs.
