An unforgettable experience for our family!

An unforgettable experience for our family We did the waterfall, rainforest tour, and chocolate & coffee experience, and it was truly an unforgettable day. The scenery was stunning, and each part of the tour felt thoughtful, immersive, and special. The rainforest excursion was incredible—we saw an amazing variety of wildlife—and the waterfall was absolutely beautiful. The chocolate and coffee experience was a highlight, especially getting to see the entire process from start to finish. It was engaging, educational, and enjoyable for both adults and children. Our guide, Julio, was exceptional. He was patient, calm, and extremely knowledgeable, and he went above and beyond to make sure our family was comfortable and enjoying every part of the day. His kindness and professionalism made a long day feel seamless and enjoyable. This was a magical and memorable experience, and one our family will talk about for a long time. We would absolutely recommend this tour and would not hesitate to do it again.

Amazing day in Costa Rica

This was an absolutely incredible tour. Our driver was fantastic, with lots of info and facts along the way. Our guides at the coffee/cacao farm were friendly and knowledgeable. Our guide at the sloth excursion was also phenomenal, she spotted so many animals and we saw 3 sloths and a toucan, among many other amazing creatures. Lunch was great, and we had an incredible day. Everything was taken care of for us, we just got to hop in the van and enjoy ourselves.

Best Family Trip to date!

We traveled with our 4 kids ages 8-12, my 73 year old mother in law, my husband and myself. It was amazing! Carlos picked us up at the airport and took us to lunch then our resort. He arranged a snorkel tour, a fishing trip, then took us on 2 full day excursions! We saw so much wildlife in the water and on land, we experienced the rainforest, learned all about coffee and cocoa, it was amazing. Very hand on, interactive for the kids, but so many new fun things to try! The day we zip lined it started raining and I was nervous about my phone, so Carlos just said I’ll hold it then proceeded to capture all of our day including the actual zip line rides on my phone. It was amazing!! He taught us so much about the country, had lots of grace for car sick kiddos, and was available to help us with anything we needed while there! We left the trip wishing we had a Carlos in every country we want to visit! 10/10 he is who you need for your custom trip to Costa Rica!

Great day excursion near Liberia

Carlos picked us up promptly at our hotel in Papagayo. He drove us safely with lively conversation to our first destination, a small coffee and coca “farm” where we got at see the transformation process and try both coffee and hot cocoa with sugar cane. We then went to the sloth sanctuary and were able to see sloths and much more wildlife. This was our first time seeing sloths which was a very memorable experience. Thanks to Carlos and Angelica we were able to see frogs, snakes, howler monkeys, and toucans. Many of which we probably would have overlooked if not for their guidance. We then went to a local spot for a lunch of beans and rice with salad, plantains and proteins of our choice. Very tasty and filling. The fresh pineapple juice was especially good. Our last stop was to a waterfall on the way back to our hotel. It’s a short hike down a hillside to the large waterfall spot. Walk back up will get your heart pumping a bit, but nothing too difficult. Overall the trip with Carlos was excellent and I would highly recommend it to folks looking for a nice overview of the natural areas around Liberia. Oh a Carlos is a fantastic photographer too!

Costa Rica Trip 2024 August

This was my first time in Costa Rica and the experience was UNFORGETTABLE!!! The views , the excursions I was not expecting to be so much fun. Everything I did I would have never thought I would do in life. Zip lining from mountains , mud baths , being on the boat in middle of the ocean , swimming in the ocean , ATV riding so much so much and I couldn’t have had the time I did without Our guide Carlos he is truly heaven sent and IS THE BEST EVER !!! He knew the people they were very pleasing and always made sure me and my group was ok. Arrived on time to pick us up daily made sure we made to and from safely. He is definitely the #1 guide.

Exceptional experience! We were able to see a tiny baby sloth about 2 feet away from us! In addition, Carlos with BlueSky, asked Angelica, who worked for the eco park, to give us a private tour. She was able to help us locate eyelash pit viper snakes and poisonous red dart frogs!
