Great tour. Jason has his timing down and gets you to each spot before or after the big crowds. First stop was Llanos Del Cortez waterfall and we had the place to ourselves. Rio Celeste wasn’t extremely busy and then the lunch spot we beat everyone to by about 20 minutes so the wait was minimal. Sloth sanctuary was also very good. Tour was awesome across the board.

The highlight of our tours. Jason was so funny and patient and answered all of our questions. We drove to a waterfall that you could swim in. This was a short walk. Then next to the National Park with the Rio Celeste waterfall. That waterfall is gorgeous! It takes about 250 steps down and up but was easy to manage. There are areas so pause before the main viewing area. The NP is a rain forest (you will need rain gear; we forgot and bough cheap ponchos from a guy in the lot). But being in a rainforest is surreal. Then on to a delicious Casado lunch. Wow was it yummy! While we waited for lunch we went into the attached butterfly garden. Then on to the sloth sanctuary. We saw 5 sloths. I think we got lucky but the guide was so knowledgeable and taught us about so many plants. We saw frogs and snakes too!
This tour was a full day of wonder and beauty. Jason was the best guide. I highly recommend this tour!

Amazing excursion. Our tour guide, Jason, was incredible! Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and really cared about what we wanted to do. We first went to the waterfall, Rio Celeste, the "hike" was pretty easy but there are pretty steep stairs (248 steps) going down to the waterfall. Going up, definitely had to take a couple breaks but was definitely doable. Well worth it. We saw lizards and amazing plants we even spotted a baby viper and a green forest snake, it was awesome! He gave us the option to do a 3 hour round hike but we didnt want to at the time, but loved that we had that option. We then go to swim in a little river where the waterfall went into. From there we ate at a local restaurant and the food was great. The service as well. Inside there was even a butterfly sanctuary and it was amazing! So many beautiful butterflies! (No Disney pun intended.) From there we went to a nature sanctuary. There were some cool farm animals we saw. Then once we started the walk we saw sloths! We saw babies, nocturnal ones, and got pretty close to one! It was so amazing! The tour guide was awesome. Showed us frogs, lizards, insects, amazing plants. Our whole group had an amazing day! Jason pointed out local volcanoes and even gave us the option to go on the magnetic road that pulls cars. Some group members were tired so we didnt but Jason really gave us great options to see even more of Costa Rica! I would definitely recommend this excursion, you see so much and have a really great time!

Our family absolutely loved this adventure. We saw beautiful places, tons of wildlife and enjoyed a wonderful, home made traditional Costa Rican lunch in a small village.
Jason, our guide was a total professional. His warm personality and deep knowledge of the area helped us learn more throughout the day. His safe driving style and expertise of all the adventures kept us relaxed, comfortable and ahead of most the crowds to these places.
The hiking is very manageable and enjoyable for almost all ages and abilities. It will get your heart pumping in a few spots of uphill climbs, but it is always on a wide and well maintained trail and the steeper parts are not very long.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. We came home with great pictures and memories. We were tired but not exhausted at the end of the day.
Costa Rica is a beautiful place with friendly people and rich culture. This tour gives you a chance to experience it all in a single, action filled day trip.
