サンノゼからのサラピキ川のセミプライベートラパス滝庭園とサファリ

Animals in the wild on the river cruise and on the side of the road were incredible - quati, crocodiles, howler monkeys, toucans, iguanas, Jesus Christ lizard, many birds, and more. La Paz Waterfall Park is beautiful and you can see most of the animals of Costa Rica.

Tour guide Ronnie was amazing!! He is filled with much knowledge, happy to share, ask questions and be asked and allowed me an easy solo experience. Feeding the animals is not guaranteed if that was something in description that excited one to chose this over others. Otherwise worth every penny.

Oscar was our private guide. He was awesome & stopped at a couple of spots to see birds & waterfalls! After he learned Mark was a photographer, he catered to that. We thoroughly enjoyed whole day!

Overall we had a great experience Given it was low season, it ended up becoming a private tour so we had our exclusive guide snd suv The guide was nice and knowledgable and he helped modify our tour to swap out the la paz garden with zipline seamlessly (we just paid the delta), which worked out better for us We still took pictures infront of the falls, we just skipped the animal rescue center as we got to see a lot of snimals in the natural habitat already 😊

Loved the trip. The scenery was amazing and the 7 waterfall were stunningly beautiful. The la paz waterfall park has unique displays of animals and a very nice eating pavilion. The trails are easy to follow through everchanging gardens but beware there are hundreds of steps up n down to navigate . Ricardo our driver and guide was the best guide for this adventure

We loved the Destiny Tours La Paz Waterfall Gardens and Sarapiqui River tour! La Paz is beyond beautiful with orchids, hummingbirds, frogs, toucans, scarlet macaws, parrots, coatis, sloths, ocelots, margays, and a jaguar. The gardens and waterfalls are exquisite. A wonderful buffet lunch was included. Our trip down the Sarapiqui River in a covered boat was so much fun! We saw two caimans, iguanas, Anhingas, swallows, butterflies, and five troops of Mantled Howler monkeys. Oscar and Armando, our Destiny guide and driver were so kind and taught us so much. We stopped at a lovely coffee finca to see the beans ripening, a sopa (local restaurant) in the mountains to take in spectacular waterfall and hummingbird views, we watched whitewater rafters, and sampled fresh pineapple at a farmstand. Oscar and Armando treated us like family and made our first day in Costa Rica amazing!

It is very hard to .pick a favorite part of this excursion. We were picked up on time, offered a water bottle in the comfortable van, and set off with Christian driving and Ron guiding. We had a lovely boat ride and saw many howler monkeys and several sloths, including one with a baby. We also saw a baby porcupine sleeping in a tree! There were birds all around, and Ron was able to identify many of them. Afterwards we went to the falls and the nature preserve. Both were beautiful and the preserve is very well done. We had the buffet lunch there and it was varied and delicious. We walked down to each of the falls and then set off for home. At one point we pulled over to see some toucans in a tree. Much appreciated.

We had the best time on this trip with Oscar! My sister and I are first time traveler's and he made the entire experience so comfortable, educational and fun. The views were spectacular and the combination of the river boat tour where we saw many monkeys and birds, the gorgeous waterfalls, and the grounds and exhibits at La Paz was just right. But the best part may have been the scenery on the way - he drives a circular route between the river and La Paz, so you can experience huge variations between the high mountain rainforest and lower Caribbean side farms and everything in between. Just beautiful. Even if you had only one day to spend in Costa Rica this would be a great way to see it.

Philander, our guide for the day, was the absolute best. We were with him for a long day, and he made everything interesting and fun. He is informative, loves his country and it’s beauty, patient, and always pleasant. This ended up being a private tour for the two of us. The long drive back was slow because of rain and traffic, but Philander stayed upbeat and patient even through that.

I highly recommend this tour.We were lucky enough to be alone on that day so it was only us and the tour guide Mauricio who was excellent, very knowledgeable and kind.The river safari is nice and pleasant and we did spot a lot of animals in their habitat.During the afternoon the La Paz Waterfall gardens is absolutely gorgeous and a must when in Costa Rica to discover it’s beautiful nature and wildlife.
