We’re so glad we chose this experience! It was well worth the cost. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The two excursions are in different locations and you can leave your bag in the secure bus. We saw a sloth, howling monkey, viper, blue jean frogs, cuadis, and various birds and bugs...it was awesome. They provide towels for the waterfall excursion. Lunch was fabulous too. This was a fantastic experience!!!
Guide was great at spotting lots of wildlife and pointing things out. Group was quite large and the bridges were very busy which meant we were slightly rushed. Waterfall was nice but again was very busy.
Our guide was very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Costa Rica and the tourism boom. The hike was a very comfortable walk in the park. We saw an eyelash viper, a poison tree frog, spider monkeys, leaf cutter ants, and a great view of Arenal volcano. Next was La Fortuna waterfall and a dip in the icy cold stream below. The tour ended with a delightful lunch. This excursion was an excellent way to start our adventure in Costa Rica.
