There are not enough words to describe how amazing Dayro is! From start to finish this tour was worth every penny. Dayro picked us up on time and explained so much about the culture and history during our drive. He was kind and patient and knows everyone at the different locations. All of the different stops were breathtaking. The wildlife we saw was a once in a lifetime opportunity! Everything felt very personal with most of the tour being just our family. This tour is a must!
We booked directly with On the Road Costa Rica for a private tour, after our private airport shuttle pickup went smoothly. Our guide Dayro was the best. Very good English, and extremely knowledgeable about Costa Rica. We traveled with two small kids, and they provided the necessary car seats at no extra cost. Driving was safe, we were never rushed at any of the stops. Dayro was the ONLY tour guide to bring a telescope and binoculars to locate wildlife. No other company or guide that day had this equipment, and we can tell the other groups were a bit jealous at all the animals we got to see. Book with confidence, and make sure you request Dayro.
Dayro was awesome, amazing lunch, sloths were so cute, gorgeous wildlife. Coffee farm tour was a little over-rehearsed and rushed but well-educated. Had a really nice time overall and beautiful scenery, but lots of time in the car and very early excursion if you’re not into that kinda thing.
Amazing experience. Wonderful tour guide. Would recommend to anyone who would like to experience more of Costa Rica.
We loved this tour! Daryo was wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed. He made sure we got to the waterfall early because the crowds picked up really fast. The waterfall was beautiful and a short hike down stairs. The coffee and cacao tours were much more interesting than we thought and even our kids had a great time. The adults loved it. The rainforest tour was our favorite and we saw all the highlights!! Daryo even had a telescope lens for us to all make sure we saw everything. Our Costa Rican lunch was so good and we loved it all! There was an almost 3 hour drive home which was rough for our kids but Daryo stopped at a souvenir store to stretch our legs and kept us company with his vast Costa Rican knowledge. We highly recommend!
A most enjoyable day . Our guide, Daryl was wonderful and entertaining and knowledgeable.
We had a wonderful day with Juan our tour guide. He picked us up right on time and drove us for a bit, then asked if we wanted a coffee. He stopped at El Jardín for coffee and a little breakfast. After getting back on the road we went to the waterfall. It was stunning and so refreshing. He took some pictures of us and we spent some time swimming under the waterfall. We then went on our adventure in the rainforest where we had a private guide named Diego. He was so skilled in spotting all the animal. We saw five sloths (even a baby), an eyelash snake, red-eyed frog, a blue legs frog, and many birds. From there we went to Dona Carmen’s Soda for lunch. We wandered around the butterfly garden and had the most delicious lunch! The chicken soup was unbelievable. After lunch our final stop was a chocolate and coffee tour with Christopher (we had guides at these places, but Juan was with us the whole time too). It was so informative and yummy! Just overall a truly magical day, and we would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to the area!
Our tour was fantastic. Dayro, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and spoke great English, and he taught us a ton. We were very fortunate to see a waterfall, learn how to make coffee and chocolate, and see all the animals we had hoped, including sloths, monkeys, toucans, frogs, snakes, and more. Next time we are in Costa Rica we will definitely be doing this tour again and would absolutely recommend to anyone who is considering it!
The guide, Dairo, was very pleasant and informative. My husband and I had a private tour to Llanos de Cortez Waterfall and a coffee, cacao, and chocolate tour in Bijagua. We had the chance to see sloths, an eyelash viper snake, a red-eyed tree frog, a porcupine, and many more animals in the park. Finally, we enjoyed a very tasty lunch at a local family restaurant. If you want to truly enjoy Costa Rica, see its wildlife, and visit beautiful and historical places, I highly recommend the Coffee & Chocolate Tour + Sloths Park & Llanos de Cortez with Dairo
This was an INCREDIBLE experience!!! We would highly recommend this when in Costa Rica. It was cultural, exciting and unique. Dayro’s hospitality and company was phenomenal — we were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour for that day so we got a great personalized experience. You have the option to choose the order of the events, we chose to do the waterfalls first, rainforest next and finished with the coffee and chocolate experience. I would HIGHLY recommend this order!!! We arrived to the waterfalls at 7:55am, waiting until it opened at 8am. We were the only ones there for about 25 minutes, we got to swim and get photos alone in the falls. On our way up the stairs there were lines of vans coming in with large groups of people so we were extremely grateful to have had almost a full 30 minutes of silence, a private waterfall experience with ourselves, Dayro and the nature around us. The rainforest was phenomenal — we saw sloths hanging in the trees with their babies on them, monkeys swinging, toucans, a pit viper snakes and frogs; Dayro had two types of binoculars we got the best views and photos/videos of the animals. The coffee & chocolate experience was also amazing, the guides were great and they have a great shop with authentic coffee, chocolate beauty products and more!! To end, we had an amazing lunch with Dayro, authentic food, great mango juice and they even have a butterfly garden at the lunch spot which we had some time to walk through together. 10/10 amazing time!! We gave a bit of a tip to the rainforest guides, the coffee/chocolate guides and of course to Dayro at the end so it is recommended to bring some cash since there are different guides throughout some of the experiences :)
