Amazing experience! We got to see so many animals at the Park and the hike to the waterfall was amazing. The best part was swimming in the waterfall and going in the waterfall. This blew our expectations out of the water!
It's a wonderful experience! You won't regret it. Obviously, with nature, you can't be sure what you'll see, but our tour guide Adrian was very informative as was our driver Rodrigo.
We went on a guided tour of the national park and waterfall today. What a great experience. Adrian was very friendly and knowledgeable and found lots of animals that were virtually invisible unless you knew where to look! We went to the Bribri waterfall afterwards and enjoyed a lovely swim and a snack. All in all a great day. We would definitely recommend.
Is more than we expected! Amazing tour and friendly guide! The experience is unique!!! Adrian ensure we get to see everything we could! And the waterfall tour was a harmonious time despite the walk to get there!!!
It was a special and unique experience. Adrian gave us a fantastic insight into the animal world. Definitely book a guide. Worth it. The conclusion at the waterfall was amazing. And on top of that, coconut water. Great experience.
Our guide Adrian was amazing. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. We saw a lot but didn’t feel rushed.
I highly recommend this tour! The first half is a leisurely walk through the park to spot a variety of wildlife, and the second half is a relaxing swim at the waterfall with a fresh fruit snack. Our group included me, my two friends, and one other person, so the tour felt very personal and moved at our own pace. Adrian was a fantastic guide — knowledgeable, fun, and flexible throughout the experience!
Adrian was so wonderful! He was kind and knowledgeable and very good at spotting the wildlife. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Puerto Viejo.
Had a great day with our Guide Adrian who was very knowledgeable & friendly & made sure we had an amazing day! We saw so much wildlife we would never have seen without him! Sloths, Howler Monkeys, white face Capuchin's, Black turtles, yellow foot Crane, Iguanas, lizards, Red Frogs plus loads more I can’t even remember it all! The Cahuita National Park was Amazing & to top it off a lovely cool dip in the Bri Bri Waterfall! We also had Snacks, Fruit & coconut water & the opportunity to have a Coco Loco with the Local Vendor who sang us the ‘Coco Loco’ song while we ate & drank! Brilliant day out well worth the trip!
Cahuita is easy to do without a guide. This tour only goes in a km or so, while on your own you could travel much further. Waterfall was fine but there are many better in CR and, again, you could visit it for a tenth of the price on your own.
