Had a great experience on this excursion! Our guide Rainer was a font of local knowledge and I found myself quoting things he told us throughout the rest of the trip. Because Rainer had us leave a bit earlier than most, we had the trails and waterfalls entirely to ourselves. We spotted a number of different bird species, but the highlight was seeing a Keel-billed toucan! The mud baths, sauna room and hot springs were very relaxing and felt good on the skin. Lunch was fantastic - we enjoyed the traditional Costa Rican casado and between my wife and I we had both chicken and pork, which were delicious. As a bonus, Rainer spotted a sloth in the trees right outside where we were eating! Overall, the trip was well worth the price of admission.
This trip was AMAZING!! Rainer is really personable and knowledgeable about all things Costa Rica! It was such a great half day trip and well worth it. The waterfall was beautiful and the mud bath was so much fun! You end the trip with a delicious lunch! Well worth it! Bring a change of clothes for the car ride home.
Great tour for nature lover, waterfalls was gorgeous, we saw tucan and couple monkeys, hot spring was really unique and authentic.. tour guide was really knowledgeable and super nice person
We had a fantastic time! Rainer was our tour guide and he was very informative, did not rush us, and gave us a very memorable experience. From start to finish we had so much fun. Would recommend to do the mud bath was an experience of a life time including both waterfalls. The hanging bridge is definitely worth it.
We had a great tour. Our guide, G, was amazing. Knowledgeable and super friendly. The waterfall was beautiful and the hot springs were so relaxing.
Raynor (not sure if this is how he spells it) was wonderful. Very knowledgeable. He showed us a lot of plants in the area. He took pictures/videos for us. He made sure we were happy every step of the way. I would highly recommend him. We had an amazing day!
Wonderful tour, we wanted to see the rainforest and this tour was perfect for the intentions we were looking for, the guide was very kind and patient with my children, the view of the volcano was incredible, we enjoyed relaxing in the hot springs and visiting the falls very beautiful. perfect tour for families with children
Carlos was a fantastic Tour Guide. He told us some of Costa Rica’s history on the drive to the waterfalls and Miraval Volcano. He was enthusiastic and fun to talk with as he showed us the beautiful sights. Well worth the trip to see the varied flora & fauna in The Guanacaste Province!
The whole trip was wonderful. The waterfalls just beautiful! Everyone especially enjoyed the mud bath experience. Lunch was very tasty and satisfying. Carlos was a fantastic tour guide.
This was one of three tours with did with this company. Highly recommend. Carlos was our guide for a great day. He was professional and funny and very informative about Costa Rica. It's a great tour and I recommend you do the "extra" waterfall (Cortez) for swimming. Thank you Carlos! Even my teens had a blast
