Guided visit to Carara National Park (Ticket included)

Very interesting (and dedicated) guide; she knew how to share her passion for the local wildlife with both the young and the old. We were able to see macaws outside the park, then very many animals (toucan, white bat, frog, \"Jesus Christ\" lizard, sloth, ...) it was really great.

Great trip. Our guide was there when we got there and was very friendly. My daughter was excited to see macaws but he knew they weren’t in the first area. We saw great wildlife and amazing plants. Then we hopped in his van and he drove us a few miles around the corner and we saw 4 pairs of macaws in a beautiful little spot. He ran us over to another area to find white face monkeys and a smoothie shop to quench our thirst. Above and beyond.

My husband and I had an amazing tour with Geovanna! She was incredibly knowledgeable and so good at spotting wildlife. We saw scarlet macaws, howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys, and lizards. Geovanna made the experience so fun and informative. Highly recommend!

Great trip Infect repellent is a must We had a guide who was called Jovinda (may be spelt wrong ) She was awesome enthusiastic and great knowledge Clearly she loved her job and wanted to make it an extra special day . We saw so much Dart frogs / sloth / a white bat ( who knew) and a silky anteater no bigger than a small cat to name a few things . Really was a fab trip out . Get ready to walk but a lot of fantastic things to see

Ronald and Joana are phenomenal guides! I did two tours with them, one in Carara National Park and the other was the monkeys tour, and these were by far the best experiences I’ve had in Costa Rica. I went solo and they took care of everything from transportation to making the experience so special seeing all the amazing wildlife. They are such caring and knowledgeable people and I highly recommend their tours to anyone visiting. Thank you both!

Excellent guide. She was so kind to our family and made huge efforts to make sure we got pictures of the animals we wanted to see. Super friendly, super enthusiastic, and you can tell she loves her job. -The Wilsons

We had a great time! Jovanna was a great guide and very knowledgable. We came for the Macaws and we were treated to so many sightings! All in all a great experience!

Our guide Ronald was great! friendly, helpful -- brought us water and took our trash. However, the walk was pretty "meh". The path is very near the road so there is a lot of noise from that. We didn't see much of anything at all, and there were tons of mosquitos. We opted out of the second half of the walk. Ronald then took us to see the macaws by the water which we very much appreciated!

Boy, did we luck out in our tour guide and our timing! We went at 11, so we weren't expecting to see as much as if we'd gone earlier in the morning (when animals tend to be more active), but we saw so many animals-- a male coati, poison dart frogs, two or three Jesus Christ lizards (including one that ran on the water while we were watching), two kinds of bats (including a mother and baby ghost bat), a toucan, spider and capuchin monkeys, a mealy parrot, four marbled quail, several trogons, interesting insects, and about a million other birds (too many for me to remember the names). Our guide, Geovanna, was not only very good at spotting and answering questions about animals, but she was also incredibly personable and ridiculously generous with her time. She was great at capturing photos and videos for us (and gave us tips on how to do it ourselves!), she was persistent in trying to get us the best and longest looks she could at various animals, and she answered all of our many, many questions knowledgeably and kindly. We were both so impressed by her commitment and enthusiasm-- you can tell that she loves her job and her country and that she truly has a passion for sharing Costa Rican wildlife with visitors to the park. At the start of the tour she asked us what animals we were most interested in seeing, and when we said macaws, she immediately said she had a Plan A and a Plan B for finding them. And, sure enough, when Plan A didn't work, she executed Plan B (which required extra time and effort from her) so that we got to see these magnificent birds up close and in the wild! She also gave us lunch and driving recommendations that we followed and appreciated very much. Seriously, we can't sing her praises highly enough. Never met a guide who went so far above and beyond. She is a gem, and this tour (which we booked last-minute during the rainy season, on a whim, and which we were the only participants for) was outstanding. Definitely encourage you to book it-- we wouldn't have seen anywhere near as much wildlife without Geovanna, nor would we have learned as much as we did about these fascinating animals and habitats!

This was an amazing tour through the park. Our guide Geovanna made it such a great experience. I promise you she could find critters that no one could ever see. Her enthusiasm for nature was contagious. We learned so much and saw so many different species.
