    Our guide, Franklin, was fantastic! We all think he’s part Billy Goat because the man can walk at a very fast pace that makes 20-year olds gasp for air.

    He was so helpful, pleasant and knowledgeable of the area, the history, the wildlife and plants.

    We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Arenal!

    An amazing adventure! We all had a blast. It had adrenaline and you had the controls but the guides were supportive when I got scared. The repelling was the most fun for me, the kids liked jumping into the water. One of the best adventures of our lives!

    Tour guide was great! Very resourceful and very charismatic. We saw and did a lot cool things like swimming at La Fortuna waterfall and seeing cool wildlife and scenery at Hanging bridges. The hike around Arenal volcano was great, too! We learned a lot about the town and area’s history. Definitely recommend to future travelers!

    The guides were amazing, knowledgeable, and provided tons of information. Franklin and Max are extremely passionate about their job and that really brings it all together. 10/10 will be back.

    Very educational tour about the coffee and chocolate business in Costa Rica. David was an excellent tour guide and his impressive knowledge of the business made the tour that much better. Highly recommend!

    This was my first experience ziplining. I was with a tour group. I am not afraid of heights and I absolutely enjoyed every minute. I was especially impressed with the equipment and the professionalism, training and customer service from each of the employees. I always felt safe as I zipped over the awesome views below. I would recommend this to anyone who wishes to zipline in Costa Rica!

    Wes was our tour guide and he was simply fabulous. He showed us a beautiful baby sloth and even videotaped her with a telescope for us! Such a wonderful human! We are so happy with this tour and very highly recommend to everyone! 10 stars!

    Definitely recommend. This was very thrilling but I wasn’t expecting it to be as rough as it was, which to me is a good thing! If you want some adventure with great guides, views of animals, definitely book with them. Typical Costa Rican lunch was good as well.

    If you're looking for minimal activity and more relaxation, this tour is perfect. The viewpoint for Arenal Volcano is breathtaking, and the hot springs at Baldi are incredibly soothing. There's also a spa if you’re in the mood for a massage—I tried it, and it was amazing.

    The tour bus is spacious and comfortable, and the driver was excellent. It’s the best tour bus driving experience I’ve had in Costa Rica. Nela, the tour guide, is very patient and knowledgeable, making the trip even more enjoyable.

    I would definitely recommend this tour, especially towards the end of your vacation when you’re seeking more leisure than adventure.

    Did this excursion, and it exceeded my expectations! The guide was absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience so much more enjoyable. The scenery was breathtaking, offering beautiful views that made every moment memorable. Lunch was delicious and satisfying, while dinner was just okay, but still a good way to wrap up a great day. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

    We LOVED our night tour at Danaus! Our guide had a superpower for finding little critters in the dark! When we arrived there was a sloth in a tree nearby and he had a telescope fixed on it so we could see it clearly. From the moment we stepped on the trail he was pointing out cool things. He also took really nice pictures with our phones that we would never have captured on our own! He also told us about the history of conservation in Costa Rica and all about the different animals that find refuge there. It was an awesome tour!

    I’ll admit, I was a little scared of snakes and spiders on the night tour, but our path was very well maintained and our guide went first to point everything out. I felt very comfortable and safe and had a ton of fun!

    I would also recommend doing this at the beginning of your trip. Our guide helped teach us how to spot some animals on our own, and we used that for the rest of the week!
