It's worth every penny for a safe and worry-free experience! The guides are friendly and very helpful. We learned a lot and it was nice to go at our own pace. They have thought a lot about the customer experience and it shows. Very punctual and the Poas volcano was spectacular and the coffee tour was very educational and the spectacular waterfall.

Highly recommend a visit. They do incredible work rescuing animals throughout the region. There is an animal hospital onsite. Those that are not able to go back in the wild are on display. We saw baby sloths, beautiful birds, spider monkeys, etc. Our English speaking guide was personable, passionate about his work, & full of fun stories & facts. Entrance fee contributes to operation of facility. I recommend bug spray before going in.

Custom tour Cahuita, Waterfall and Chocolate Tour Excursion- full day - with pickup from hotel —— We booked this tour in advance (with Frederico) and were very happy with the guide and the driver. They were very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. They pointed various animals which it would be difficult to spot on our own. We ended going to a local restaurant that they recommended where we had a fantastic meal for a fraction of cost and were parted as friends.

Our experience with Caribe Autentico was more than we ever expected. Ariel is an incredibly kind, intelligent, & thoughtful person. He went above & beyond to make sure we saw all kinds of animals & wildlife, and taught us lots of interesting facts. And he helped us with our Spanish! He brought his telescope along (which is awesome, by the way) so we were able to get a close-up view of sloths, monkeys, birds, etc. He’s excellent at spotting them in the forest. I highly recommend this company & will definitely be returning for my next adventure! Pura vida! Gracias Ariel!
