Frogs-Sloths-waterfall-Café e Chocolate Tour

We had a wonderful time and were able to get up close and personal with a young sloth! The guides and our driver were terrific.

Absolutely wonderful experience. We chose the private tour for a very reasonable add-on price. We were picked up on time and started our lovely tour day sampling coffee and chocolate, followed by a wonderful visit to a waterfall where a secondary guide took us around the waterfall and nearby cenote. We stopped for a creole lunch and headed to the rainforest where a secondary guide provided us with a wonderful tour where we saw sloths, frogs, and a viper. We ended the tour at a large souvenir complex El Jardin. Since it was low season, there were no crowds at all, the busiest place was El Jardin. Tour is best for moderately fit individuals since there were a lot of steps/ stairs and uneven ground. Overall 10 out of 10.

Tour Guide: AMAZING! Mainor our guide arrived early for pick up. He’a very knowledgeable and shared intelligent facts about our tour. Coffee & Chocolate Tour: FANTASTIC! It was organized and done in a very thoughtful manner. Genesis discussed the details, geography, indigenous process and lots of educational tidbits about coffee and chocolate! The owner Rosbin also showed us the process of how they make artisanal coffee and chocolate. It’s very well done in a sophisticated manner. Waterfall Tour: GREAT! We had a chance to swim in Cortez waterfalls and there was not a lot of people which almost felt like we had a private waterfall access! Lunch: DELICIOSO! We didn’t have to wait for too long because Mainor called in our lunch order a few minutes before we arrived at the restaurant. Rainforest Tour: WONDERFUL! Our guide Jessie is very knowledgeable and we found FOUR sloths in less than 30 minutes! We also saw some poison dart frog, sleeping tree frog and eyelash viper! After all the tours we did, Mainor even brought us to El Jardin where we bought some beautiful souvenirs, coffee, and Salsa Lizano to take home! This tour was most definitely an exquisite experience and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Costa Rica! Pura Vida!

Amazing day trip for my family of 5 including 3 teenagers. Manuel was our tour guide and he was awesome in every way! We saw a sloth 🦥 with a baby!! Highly recommend this activity.

Chocolate and coffee was very informative and hands on. Traditional meal was one of the best I had while visiting. The driver was very knowledgeable and kind. Great experience!

Manuel went above and beyond. We got to go to rainforest where we saw several sloths, snakes, frogs, and foliage with informative explanations. He took us to eat a traditional meal which was wonderful. Our coffee and chocolate tour with history of both plants and got to assist in making coffee/hot chocolate. We then made several stops along the way to see wildlife including a toucan and herons. He took us to waterfall where we ended our day. Cannot recommend Manuel and this tour enough! He was incredibly knowledgeable and hospitable.

Our family had a great day with Manuel from pickup at our villa through to drop off. Chocolate and Coffee was a great way to start the day and was a good pick me up following the first leg. Next we swam at the beautiful waterfall but the sloths, frogs and snakes were the star of the day. Thanks for a great outing none of us will soon forget.

My daughters and I had an absolutely wonderful experience with this tour company! Everything was well organized, enjoyable, and exceeded our expectations. The owner Rosbin was incredibly patient and friendly. He took the time to answer all of our questions, made sure everyone felt comfortable, and created a relaxed, friendly atmosphere throughout the first stop at the coffee/ chocolate tour. The tour guide Manual was knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and local highlights.

We had the best experience on our excursions. Manuel was our driver and he was great. He was Fun, personable and attentive. All the places we stopped, were great and very informative. Totally recommend this group when you looking for an excursion in Costa Rica.

This was a fabulous excursion. It exceeded the expectations for all 9 members of our group. There was something for everyone. Between the waterfalls, the monkeys, butterflies, the sloths, frogs, the chocolate and even those who do not like coffee enjoyed learning about the process, everyone had a great time.
