    We were picked up at our hotel and greeted warmly. This tour takes place in a private nature reserve connected to the national park , but is not actually on park land. Our tour guide, David was remarkably knowledgeable about the plants, birds, animals and the volcano itself. He literally know the genus and species of every plant and creature I asked him about! We saw crested guins, cool ants. coatis, a group of spider monkeys, wild boar. David often knew animals were in the area because he smelled them before he saw them. Our experience really seemed to matter to him and the diver, Clever, who prepared a beautiful snack of fresh fruit at the end. The hike initially was not easy, lots of rocks and roots so a decent level of fitness is helpful. Really, a great experience.

    Ezekiel was extremely nice and knowledgeable and interested in making sure the group saw wildlife in which they were interested. He was able to talk about the lava flows and the history of the volcano. While Joshua, too, was knowledgeable about the volcano, he rushed the group and did not seek out wildlife on the “forest” part of the tour.

    We had signed up for a combo tour and even though tired enjoyed the walk. It is not for someone who can’t climb 3/4 mile up. Our guide was knowledgeable and gave us the history of the volcano including the eruptions. The 2nd part of the hike was downhill with heavy foliage. Pineapple served at the end.

    This was one of the few 'tours' i booked in Costa Rica which was truly a 'tour', meaning their was a driver AND a tour guide offering history, naturalist commentary and information interesting for visitors to a country. It was a short few hours, but it was very nice and interesting for the money. You only get a distant view of the volcanoe, but the 'tour guide' portion was nice. This is a perfect tour for folks who don't have the energy or inclination for anything but a shortish hike to see the volcano. '
