Great excursion. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the cave, saw giant spiders, dozens of bats, scorpion spider, cave crickets and cave fish. Had to squeeze through some real tight spaces and crawl on hands and knees through water which was a good workout and fun. If you have water shoes bring them, otherwise they can give you boots. Even though your boots will get filled with water you may want to wear socks just to prevent blisters (those boots rubbed me in a bad way). The helmet with lights they provide were very nice. This place didn't take credit cards, they did offer a photography service but the guy wanted $40 despite a sign saying it was $20 so we declined and took one phone in with us in a zip lock bag. I think our pics turned out OK. They have lots of showers to clean up at the end. Bring a change of clothes. They also have a restaurant and a nice pool (we did not eat there but the kids enjoyed a swim).

I had an absolutely wonderful time! I rented a motorbike for 10 days and it was fantastic. The service was great from booking all the way through to collection form my hotel and returning the bike. Service is 5 stars-they are available and responsive to all your questions before and during the trip. The motorbike and gear provided were in great condition. I cannot recommend them more and when i come back to Costa Rica I will definitely be using their services again. Thank you for making my trip unforgettable SL1 Rental!

Rescate Wildlife Rescue Center (formerly Rescate Animal Zoo Ave) is a non-profit that has been rescuing wildlife for over 30 years. While educating the public about local wildlife, this rescue center and sanctuary also breeds endangered species for release to the wild. They have reintroduced several different species to previously extinct areas of Costa Rica and their current Scarlet Macaw breeding program plans to reintroduce a further 500 of the species by 2030. Every admission fee to the sanctuary goes to supporting their cause.

The center is 15 minutes from the airport, and it was an excellent place to spend a few hours before our flight. We enjoyed spotting the sloths, and seeing the peacocks and lizard which roam freely throughout the paths. Eating early at the cafe was a good call, since a bus tour arrived that Saturday and filled up the restaurant just as we finished.
