Tour van een halve dag met Safari Float en Chocolate Experience
Beschrijving
Onze eerste activiteit is Safari Float aan de Peñas Blancas-rivier, een van de meest schilderachtige en vredige rivieren in de regio. De oevers worden begrensd door torenhoge regenwoudbomen, gedrapeerd in delicate wijnstokken die boven het rivieroppervlak zwaaien. In dit unieke leefgebied leven talloze diersoorten, waaronder witsnuit- en brulapen, luiaards, hagedissen, vleermuizen, kaaimannen en een fascinerend assortiment watervogels: een betoverende ervaring voor het hele gezin. Daarna gaan we naar de Cacao Gallery Tour voor jouw dag vol avontuur. Tijdens deze ervaring bezoeken gasten de cacaogalerij, boomgaard en biologische boerderij van Rainforest Explorers en proeven ze exotisch fruit en suikerrietsap voordat ze deelnemen aan het chocolademaakproces en het fascinerende verhaal van de oorsprong ervan leren. Het maken van je eigen Mexica-chocolade en -snoepjes is een heerlijk onderdeel van de magie van de tour.

I highly recommend Rain Forest Explorers for this tour. For the float trip, our guide Isaac was very enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge of the flora and fauna along the way. He was excellent in spotting animals and how to approach without spooking them. We say howler monkeys, a Toucan, a crocodile, iguanas and various species or birds. We even saw a squirrel dive off a tree in the canopy over the river from a height of about 50 feet to escape a predator. The chocolate tour was quite interesting. After a history of chocolate production and how it started in Costa Rica, we saw the cocoa trees with the pods, sample some fresh cocoa, and made some 70% cacao candies from cacao and sugar grown right on the farm. Rain Forest Explorers has their own farm that has many different and interesting plants. We also saw pineapples, star fruit, sugar cane and bananas. Lunch was deliciously and expertly prepared from many ingredients grown right on their farm by Elena. It was a very enjoyable experience.
This tour was my favorite day in La Fortuna. The entire family / hosts / guides were so friendly, kind, funny, such joy to be around for the half-day excursion. We did the chocolate tour first which was a nice walk on the property with fruit tasting. The chocolate experience was wonderful- especially for kids. Ours are 9 and 12 and the guides involved them in everything. The lunch was a beautiful traditional casada spread (with chicken, pork, or fish) and was just excellent. I encourage you to get up and walk around and talk to the señoras in the kitchen! The safari float was beyond my expectations. Name an animal, we saw it. My kids couldn’t put their binoculars down. 10/10 highly recommend this half day excursion!
Mario was super knowledgeable and very helpful and safety conscious. I would give him a 10!
This company was positively AMAZING, informative, kind, and what a great value! They all are excellent and share their culture and information readily and in such a wonderful manner! The family atmosphere permeates all they do! Positively amazing family and employees! We loved the safari float, and especially learned so much on the chocolate making! It was a highlight of our time! Lunch was amazing as well! We later did 2 more tours , mistico and the lava flow! Rafa was with us all day and he is an exceptional guide! What a kind and wonderful person and an absolute pleasure to learn from! I can’t stress enough how great this company was to work with from reservation through the activities! 12 out of 10 recommend! We’ll be back!
We had so much fun last week- very grateful to do the 3-in-1 tour with Isaac! I was blown away by how knowledgable he was and that's saying a lot because I know a lot about birds LOL. We wouldn't have seen half the wildlife on the river without him, because everything is camouflaged and hidden so well. Iguanas and howler monkeys high up in the trees. A sloth right off the bat. The make your own chocolate tour was amazing too. I'm so sorry I forgot the guy's name but he was excellent with the process and chocolate information. Isaac turned out to be my fav guide on our 10 day trip. Highly recommend this company and thank you again for your time and expertise!
Mario and Tony were awesome guides on the river safari. They were both very knowledgable and friendly. We all had a great time. The snack and refreshments in between the safari and chocolate tour at Cafe Mila were delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate portion of the tour too. We learned so much about the process and history of making chocolate. It was hands on and fun, and such a great experience. The lunch that was provided was excellent. It was an all around awesome experience!
I can't recommend them more! One of the best tours I've been on anywhere. Pepe was our guide along the river. He did a great job finding animals and explaining their background. The chocolate farm tour was also incredible. I've been on other chocolate tours and you see huge trays of roasted cacao pods and the machines that process them. Here, they show you the entire process. They put the pods in the grinder and you can turn the crank. You have the opportunity to make your own chocolate and eat it a bit later. The lunch was the best meal I had in Costa Rica. They make it from scratch. I'm usually wary of lunches that included with tours- they're usually sandwiches with cold cuts. This was a real meal. You felt like you were at someone's house.
We saw monkeys, various birds, fish, plants, and so much other wildlife. The chocolate making was very informative and delicious. We should have brought a pair of binoculars to get a better view of the sloths.
We had such a good time. The float tour was amazing. We saw a lot of animals and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The best part was lunch. Eduardo’s family was wonderful hosts and one of the highlights was seeing a toucan eat off of the birdfeeder at the restaurant.
Wonderful morning! We really enjoyed touring a farm and making chocolate. Really interesting information and a fun way to start the day. Afterwards the float tour was fantastic. Saw a ton of animals and birds followed by a delicious lunch. Highly recommend this tour company.
