This tour was a really enjoyable and unexpected delight. Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and personable - we couldn't have asked for better. Sunset kayaking in Golfo Dulce was beautiful; we didn't see any dolphins but we did see turtles, waterbirds and wintering shorebirds. The sunset delivered beautifully, but the absolute highlight was experiencing the bio-luminescence after dark; this was a magical experience, especially the snorkeling. Safety was addressed thoroughly and was never a concern. I can't recommend this experience highly enough.

The experience was very special. Walking down the river in slow pace, taking time to feel the experience and enjoy the many animals active and hunting at night was great. Plenty of snakes, frogs and spiders, for which we took all the time to enjoy. The music of the night in the jungle is another this that should really impress everyone. I strongly advice to take the time for this special adventure.

I was in Costa Rica in January, now I have traveled to Colombia. I have waited several months but I cannot shake how HORRIBLE this tour was. We were supposed to have a tour bus but was instead packed into a sedan. At some point the tour guide was alluding to us going to a nicer restaurant and having us pay for his lunch because the office "did not send the money over" for the included meal. I have been on many tours before and many after but this one was easily the worst. Our tour guide was out taking pictures of his own on every site instead of actually guiding us. What took the cake was when we thought we were going to see a coffee plantation but instead he pulls over on the side of the road to a ditch to show us mounds of dirt that supposedly were growing coffee and he said he couldn't take us to an actual plantation because "The Nicaraguans are harder working and the Costa Rican youth are always on their phones now so it won't be worth it". We paid 100+ dollars EACH for a glorified taxi ride across the country. 0/10 don't recommend

The six hour tour only took two. The dept of health had closed down the city due to a COVID outbreak. Everything was closed. Can’t really blame the operator. Probably also went faster because there were just the two of us.

We travelled in August 2019 with 2 boys aged 9 and 11. Had THE most amazing time! Thank you to Kristina and the team at Costa RIcan Trails. From the moment we landed everything went smoothly. Cannot fault the accommodation, exactly as planned and to meet our requirements. They helped juggle the tours to meet our needs, arranged private transfers so we had time out on our own for the long journeys. Made excellent recommondations and just all in all and fantastic experience. Our tour was: 2 nights Torguguero at Mawamba Lodge 2 nights Puerto Viejo at Azania Bungalows 1 night Boca Tapada at Maquenque Lodge - Treehouse (unbelievable) 2 nights Arenal at Arenal Springs (loved the hot springs at the hotel) 2 nights at Monteverde Lodge & Springs All the recommended tours were amazing. Hikes to see wildlife, white water rafting, horse riding, zip lines just a memorable holiday. We then flew to Florida Keys on the way home for some R&R which was needed after packing it in!!

This tour is the best way to get to know Corcovado because we visit two different stations; with two different ecosystems; On the one hand Sirena that we will appreciate the fauna and the reconstruction of a forest of only 47 years that was cut down and is gradually being regenerated. On the other hand, San Pedrillo, with a totally virgin and pure primary rain forest, which saves the energy of more than 4000 years old.

This tour was an AMAZING tour for my daughter and I. We shared a boat with Divers and had the amazing Deyanira, who seems to be very skilled and native in the water. She pointed out amazing sea turtles, awesome schools of fish, coral, and we even saw an eel and (friendly) shark! So wondrous swimming in these beautiful waters, and the boat crew was great too, navigating waters with great skill and even stopping when we spotted some sea turtles coming up for air. We did a few rain forest hikes and really enjoyed all that the magical land of Costa Rica has to offer, but the magic of this special South Pacific sea can not be missed! Deyanira was amazing!
