Carlos is a wonderful tour guide and we had an amazing day out with him! It was me and my 13 year old daughter, we started at the Llanos de Cortes waterfall, and then he took us to a rainforest that guides who made sure we saw birds and animals, and got lots of great pictures for us using their telescopes. We saw sloths (including babies), tapir, toucans and many other birds and red eyed frogs. We also got to grind our own sugarcane juice from cane that was in the rainforest - very refreshing after our walk. We had a wonderful lunch at a local place Carlos picked, they had traditional Costa Rican options and the food was excellent. Carlos was right on time and he taught us a lot about Costa Rica and its history. He was a safe and capable driver and guide. He knows a lot about birds if you are interested in bird watching. We are looking forward to coming back to Costa Rica and doing more tours with Carlos. He’s perfect for private tours and his company can also arrange for large groups traveling together (wedding guests, extended family trips, etc).
Hello Sarah. Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! It truly means a lot to hear that you and your daughter Kayla had such a special day exploring Costa Rica with us. We’re delighted that you enjoyed visiting the beautiful Llanos de Cortés Waterfall and experiencing the rainforest’s incredible wildlife—from sloths and tapirs to toucans and red-eyed frogs. Moments like these are what make Costa Rica so unique, and we’re happy we could help you capture them with great photos along the way. We’re also glad you enjoyed the traditional sugarcane experience and lunch at a local Costa Rican restaurant—authentic flavors are an important part of the journey! Your kind words about me, and my knowledge, punctuality, and safe driving truly mean a lot. Do you know me, I'm passionate about sharing Costa Rica’s nature, culture, and especially its birdlife, ect.. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be honored to welcome you back for another adventure in the future, whether it’s a private tour or a special group experience. Pura vida!
Fantastic experience! Perfectly coordinated by Costa Rica Green Life Tours. They handled the details of our entire trip, including transfer to and from the airport and multiple tours. Highly recommended for the quality of their tours, ease of communication and expertise on planning a great family trip.
Because of the Tour Guide David, Exploring the rainforests and waterfalls of Costa Rica is an unforgettable adventure for you and your family i would truly recommend flying to Costa Rica for this tour and adventure and the special company guidances that comes with it, everything about this tour is amazing and incredible thank you for all of the Costa Ricans team for this tour.
Beautiful hike to waterfall followed by a fun coffee and chocolate tour. Last a visit to the sloth sanctuary where we saw many different animals. Fantastic guide!
Thank you so much for enjoy a little piece of my country Costa Rica!! we appreciate your review and we hope to see you again soon!!
My group was unable to participate in the Rio Celeste tour due to sudden sickness of several group members. I write this review to share how very kind and helpful Carlos and the tour company were. Even after a last minute cancellation, Carlos worked with us to rebook the tour—assuming everyone had recovered. Although we had to cancel a second time, Carlos and the Company were very kind, helpful, and flexible in attempting to meet our needs. They were very responsive to us through the entire process. Next time I visit Costa Rica, I’ll be sure to book this tour with this company again. I appreciate the great customer service.
My wife and I went on the rainforest hiking private tour with David from Costa Rica Green Life Tours and had an incredible experience. Right from the beginning, David was super kind and friendly. He picked us up from the resort and had a great plan for us. It included hiking in the rainforest, seeing a beautiful waterfall, checking out wildlife at the sloth sanctuary, a delicious local lunch of casado, and because we hiked so quickly, he even added a bonus stop to taste coffee and chocolate! Throughout the day, David shared so much with us about the country and the culture of Costa Rica. We would highly recommend this tour and company to anyone visiting Costa Rica who wants a day of fun and adventure! And, if David is your guide, then know you are in amazing hands!
We took an excursion to rio Celeste, sloth experience, and a coffee/chocolate plantation. Marlon was our driver and Estefan was the guide. It was amazing! Estefan was very enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour!
Absolutely beautiful! Guide was extremely knowledgeable, and the views were remarkable. It's definitely a decent incline and quite a lot of steps.
Day started with an on time pickup exactly at 7am, followed by a drive to the rain forest. We were offered many opportunities to stop for bathroom breaks, food etc. The hike started with Jose showing us two yellow breastfed toucans. Really nice hike to Rio Celeste falls where Jose shared so much information. On next to the meeting of the two rivers. Hiked back to the tour van and on to lunch at the Hummingbird restaurant at the sloth sanctuary. The best authentic local food we've had since arriving in Costa Rica. Followed by an hour guide through the natural habitat for Sloths, butterflies, poisonous dart frogs, red eyed frog, banana trees, cocoa trees, coffee treas and so many flowers. Returned to the hotel at 4:30 pm. Definitely worth every penny we spent.
We stationed ourselves at Rio Perdido Resort and engaged Green Life Tours for a day trip across the CR continental divide into the Rio Celeste rain forest region and animal sanctuary. It was the best day of our brief 5 days in Costa Rica. Guide/driver Carlos was the best. Knowledgeable, personable, and accommodating to our dietary and age related needs in every way. We have already recommended Green Life Tours to friends in 3 countries - and expect all to use their services. You will not be disappointed, whichever tour you select.
Thank you for leaving such a nice review!! Thank you for recommending us to others! We are happy to hear that you had an awesome time with Costa Rica Green Life Tours and Carlos on the tour. We hope to see you back soon!
