I recommend it 100%! 4 hours of experience getting to know the Tenorio Volcano Park and it was a very quick visit!! The experience is very complete, especially if you go with Byron; he explained everything wonderfully and knows the flora and fauna perfectly. Thank you very much for everything, Byron!!!

Oscar was a great guide! He is so knowledgeable and very patient! It was an absolutely beautiful hike! It is definitely a moderate to strenuous hike with lots of steps. Wear hiking boots and use bug spray.

Great tour! Our guide Johnny was great at spotting all types of animals and was very knowledgeable. He accommodated our time schedule but still felt like we got our money worth. Also was great at taking pictures of us along the way. The waterfall itself is a decent walk up and down but worth it for the views. At the end of the hike we finished with fresh coconuts from the stand!

What a fantastic experience! Byron was an amazing guide—extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he does. We learned so much about animals and plants, had an incredible time, and enjoyed every single moment. I would 100% recommend Byron as your guide!

We had an excellent experience with our guide Manfred - he was very excited to share his deep knowledge of the rainforest plants and animals and was very friendly. We saw toucans, white faced monkeys, an ant eater, a vine snake, hummingbirds, and a coati. While the stairs to the river were cut off half way, we still had an excellent time.

We had a wonderful private tour with Rio Celeste Nature. Our guides provided pictures of the office and what to expect when we arrived there. In addition, they notified us in advance of recent weather that required an adjustment to the sites we would see. We were able to visit the Tenideros, Blue Lagoon, Viewpoint, and the Borbollones. Anthony was an excellent tour guide and we all enjoyed the trip and learned a lot. Finally, the fruit they provided for us at the end of the tour was amazing! The pineapple, mangoes, and bananas in Costa Rica are incredible! Thank you.

Our guide, Jesús, was great. Not only was he very knowledgeable and showed us all the different types of snakes, birds, insects, etc., he was a great photographer. Highly recommended!

Our guide was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We also enjoyed the fruit after the nice hike. It was well worth it.

Our experience with Bayron (hopefully that's the correct way of writing your name) was both beautiful and enriching. We took a private tour that blended learning with fun, set in one of the most stunning environments we’ve visited during our stay in Costa Rica. Bayron impressed us with his depth of knowledge, especially considering how young he is, and his natural, genuine interaction with us. What stood out most was his effort to find some of the animals we were hoping to see, doing so in a way that was non-intrusive and respectful towards nature. This was one of the things we appreciated the most about him. It’s clear that he understands the importance of respecting the environment, and highlighting it isn’t about a staged show or a zoo, but rather an opportunity to observe the ecosystem in its most natural, unaltered form. It was a true pleasure. We highly recommend it. Muchas gracias, Bayron. Pura vida!

This was fun! Our guide Manny (I think Manifred might be the full spelling of his name) was so knowledgeable and personable. He was also very patient with us since we had my 77-year-old Mom in our group, and she needed to take her time navigating the rocky portions of the trail and the steps down to the waterfall. But we took our time, and she safely managed the whole hike. We learned about a lot of wildlife along our hike, and Manny stopped multiple times to help us get a closer look at some that he was able to spot with his well trained eyes. At the end of the tour, we were given watermelon and pineapple to share, which was a fun and refreshing way to wrap things up! I’d highly recommend this tour if you’re in the area, and be sure to request Manny as your guide! Two things to note are that 1) swimming isn’t permitted at the waterfall due to safety concerns and 2) when you arrive, you’ll need to look for the Rio Celeste Nature office to meet your tour guide before proceeding to enter the park. This seems like common sense, but we went straight to the park line for admission and were told we needed a code for entry, which our tour guide at the Rio Celeste Nature office of course had. Sharing this so others don’t make our same mistake. :-)
