Excellent combo tour with Marlon! Hike to Rio Celeste was great and moderately challenging because a lot was uphill. Bryan, our guide at the sloth tour, was excellent and pointed out toucans, hummingbirds, poison frogs and sloths! We definitely would have missed most of them if we were on our own. Anna, with the Tika Coffee and Chocolate tour also did a fantastic job explaining the two processes. It was fascinating! I highly recommend them all!
We booked the full day tour through Freddy Campos which was with North Adventures. We were picked up from our accommodation by Marlon and were lucky enough to be the only ones doing this on the day. Marlon was so knowledgeable and was able to create the perfect tour for our family. We went to Rio Celeste but because of the heavy rainfall the blue hue was not as bright as usual. Marlon was able to include things in our tour which we had been unable to see so far in our holiday. We had a fabulous lunch in a local soda and even whilst eating Marlon was still educating us on the fabulous country and local area. He then was able to video some fabulous toucans in the car park and at no point rushed us out of any activity. Thank you Marlon 🌟
We had such a great day visiting Rio Celeste, coffee and chocolate tour and the icing on the cake was the incredible sloth searching. We had a really lovely guide called Marlon who was professional, friendly, funny and kind. He was a safe driver and gave us so much great info during the day about the country and things we’d seen. We honestly couldn’t have had a better day!
We were picked up by Fabricio and taken to the waterfall, sloth tour, and coffee and chocolate tour. We also had an excellent lunch in between. Fabricio was an amazing guide. His vast knowledge of the area, along with his keen eye for nature provided our group with a spectacular tour of the La Fortuna area. I would highly recommend this tour with North Adventures and Fabricio!!!
