Melbin was our guide and he was super awesome. Very knowledgeable and showed us many animals along our route. He also showed us coffee and chocolate tour for free as well as made us try sugar cane syrup. Everything was amazing. He even showed us a sloth and her baby. Made our day. Will def book again with him. He made the trip all worth it.
The bridges allow for beautiful views and ability to see the volcano along with frogs and snakes. We had a great guide who shared his knowledge as we hiked. My 3 year old enjoyed the bridges and the putting her feet in the waterfall waters . The lunch spot was delicious and very large portion!
A very lovely experience; we saw many animals, and the guide Melvin was always attentive to ensure we didn't miss anything!
It was a very beautiful guided tour. We saw a lot of animals, such as monkeys, birds, frogs, and snakes and we saw the Tucan! The guide knew a lot to tell us about them. Also the hanging bridges were a very fun experience.
The tour guide was great! Amazing at finding wildlife during the hanging bridge tour. The waterfall component was beautiful as was the swim below the falls (just be aware there are approx. 500 stairs down to the falls). The lunch in between was terrible. Food was dry/over cooked and generally bland. It included one glass of oce tea but had to pay for a refill.
