サラピク川のサンホセからラパス水上ガーデン＆サファリまでの日帰り旅行

I had a wonderful day with Eugenie and a lovely couple from Puerto Rico. The trip was exactly as described and I highly recommend it. Our guide grew up in the area and knew everything and everyone we met on the trip. He knew birds from their sounds, and he was our personal guide through the park telling us amazing facts about all the animals we saw (and there was a lot!) What I loved was all the time we got to spend on the river and at the waterfall park. The tour was not cheap but the day was 10 hours and we were only about 3-4 hours in the car total (compared to others where you spent more time in a bus and at shops). Food was a simple but tasty buffet at the park and we only went through one souvenir shop (the one at the park). My only recommendation for the tour would have been to provide binoculars as people travelling don’t usually carry them. I would happily book with Destiny Travel and Eugenie again.

This was my second tour with Destiny Tours and it was just as good as the first. I was picked up right on schedule at 7:00 am by Richardo, who was my tour guide and driver. He was a skilled driver who explained everything about the tour as we started. He is a professional, knowledgeable and friendly with a love for his country. We started with the river tour, which was excellent, saw lots of animals and birds and Richardo knew the names of all of them. Next, the La Paz waterfall and rescue refuge for animals. Lots of up close viewing of the animals and a timely buffet lunch before you get to the waterfall. Trails are concrete and easy to walk, very well organized tour. I highly recommend Richardo as a tour guide and certainly recommend Destiny Tours as a great tour company. They made my trip worthwhile…

What beautiful waterfalls Costa Rica has, and easy to get to! But we wouldn't have learned that 80% of Costa Rica's electricity comes from hydroelectric power until we spent the day with our fabulous guide. Our trip circumnavigated a large area of Costa Rica, from the river to the volcanic mountains that produce waterfalls, and included a beautiful tropical garden and a walk through the man-made habitats that protect rescued wild animals, from Toucans to Jaguars. Beautiful and memorable trip.

The guide, Oscar, spoke English well. He was right on time to pick me up at the hotel. His car was in good condition and clean. He was very knowledgeable about any aspect of Costa Rica: history, politics, geography, flora y fauna. We took several stops to get something to drink and snacks both going and returning to Sarapequi River and the La Paz Wildlife Refuge and waterfalls. I enjoyed the relaxing boat trip to see a sloth, Howler monkeys, and water birds: green ibis and white egret. The La Paz Refuge also had monkeys, birds, butterflies, and ocelots and Jaguars. The buffet restaurant there was quite good. The trail to the waterfalls was beautiful, but had I realized that there would be hundreds of stairs to climb up and down, I probably wouldn’t have done it. I use a cane to walk so….yeah. Definitely not for people who use wheelchairs—But for everyone else, this tour is wonderful.

I was going to wait until I got home to write this but I couldn’t wait. I had the most amazing excursion today with tour guide Ricardo. The Sarapiqui River cruise was beautiful and there were a lot of animals around- most of them up in trees so I highly recommend binoculars. La Paz Waterfall Garden is absolutely stunning. There is an animal sanctuary that is interesting to see, the grounds are beautiful. There are a lot of steps which I enjoyed but might not be great for everyone. The waterfalls themselves truly are amazing and worth the trip. The best part of my excursion was my guide Ricardo who was very kind and incredibly knowledgeable. If, like myself, you are interested in learning more about Costa Rican history, politics, and way of life, then I would recommend asking for him by name. He is also very knowledgeable about wildlife and conservation. We also made an unscheduled stop at a cafe restaurant (because I wanted coffee) with an amazing view and toucans and hummingbirds right there feeding. Definitely ask him to take you there too if that is your thing. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and am grateful for the memories.

My experience was amazing with my tour guide Oscar because he showed me the best part of Costa Rica. Since it was my first time traveling I needed a tour instead of doing it on my own. The first stop was the coffee shop that is made there and the view was phenomenal. While I was buying the coffee he showed me the rocking chair which I loved and I sat down and saw the view. The second tour was the best one which was the waterfall La Paz it felt like I was in the movies .. the rest of the tour was great..I needed a tour because I wanted to know the Country well in Costa Rica.. if you like nature this is the place for you to visit .. he showed me a lot of things which next time I know where to go when I come back to Costa Rica.. he also recommended me places to go which it was nice of him to do that ..

La Paz water falls. Panoramic views of the Jungles and mountains.Impressed with Cheetah’s and Lions.

Perfect place xq limit the capacity. And over in San fermin. The security was perfect, super nice and very handsome, we felt very August. Music a 10. Perfect if you are a woman and want to feel safe without bibs around.

If you want to see all kinds of animals this is definitely the best tour to go on. The park/ refuge was beautiful, nice meal, the river cruise was soo relaxing. We also saw beautiful waterfalls. I'm most appreciative of our tour guide Will! He was informative the whooole time. He was kind, helpful, and made sure we had a very nice time. Thanks Will!

This was the best! Touring Costa Rica via this itinerary was excellent. The tour took us through GORGEOUS mountainous landscapes, by wonderful landmarks off the beaten path, and ultimately to the La Paz Waterfall gardens. The waterfalls were incredible, and I was impressed with the animal rescue center. And we had lunch at the restaurant, which was superb. But the best part of the tour was our guide, Oscar. He was so knowledgable, kind and fun. We learned so much about the area, and his love and passion for his country makes him the perfect tour guide. We are so very fortunate to have gone through Destiny Travel - this company has heart and soul, and good people working for them.
