This tour was our favourite out of the 4 that we took with Caribe Fun Tours - mainly because how much we loved the Great Green Macaw Ara Project reserve. It's such a special place and it's a must do while in the Puerto Viejo area - especially if you love animals/birds. Would definitely recommend using Caribe Fun Tours while in Puerto Viejo area.
Promised was a 2-3 hour hike. We ended up with a strawl of 300m into the park and back of 40 minutes after the tour operator turned up 30 Minutes late. For this tour no guide would have been needed as we learned also almost nothing. This is not a serious operator, but a margin optimizer.
Hola Pascal, I'm sorry to read about your disappointment, your opinion is important for us, nevertheless this tour does not include a 3-4 hours hike, as the highlight of the tour is the visit to the Ara Project to see the Great Green Macaws, Also, the pickup time was the same as confirmed, so I don't see why you say that the guide was late, Lastly, if you wanted a 4 hours hike, you should have mentioned it and reserve the respective tour. Next time you book something, please make sure it is what you want instead of posting a nonsense review that can hurt the local's daily work, but as we can see on your profile, writing bad reviews is part of your spirit. Best regards, Caribe Fun Team
Haniel our guide picked us up from our hotel at 1pm as agreed. He immediately checked that we had water and bug spray, cracked a joke or two before we headed off to Manzanillo National Park. We parked the car and on the short walk to the entrance Haniel pointed out a pair of parakeets perched on top of an old palm trunk. The guides here in Costa Rica are incredible and Haniel was no exception - spotting wildlife that we would otherwise never see. Roughly 1km (and lots of good photos) later we arrived at a beautiful ocean view before looping back towards the park entrance. Haniel was informative and knowledgeable and was very keen to make sure I got the best shots possible. We returned to the car and made the short journey to Ara. On arrival Haniel handed us over to the Ara guide who explained more about the project and how successful it has been in helping the Great Green Macaw population to grow (despite it still being endangered). We were then taken to a viewing platform to observe a large number of Macaws feeding, flying and squabbling which was incredible to see these beautiful creatures and their majestic plumage. On our drive back out of Ara, Haniel stopped the car as he had spotted something else. We were amazed that he had spotted a frog (about an inch long) in some greenery at the side of the road. We got a photo and then Haniel brought us back to our hotel. We had a great afternoon, got loads of fantastic photos and the experience at Ara was out of this world. Thank you Haniel and I hope the holiday traffic back to your home wasn’t too bad! 😎
