Why you’ll love this…

Eco-adventure in Guanacaste
Cross hanging bridges
See exotic birds and wildlife
Swim at Llanos del Cortes waterfall
Float down the river on a raft

What to expect

Most of Costa Rica's rich wildlife lives in the upper levels of the trees. So what better way to see them than a suspended bridge hike, high above the jungle floor. Spot spider monkeys, sleepy sloths and 400 species of tropical birds alongside an expert guide. And after a refreshing swim in Llanos del Cortes waterfall and a Costa Rican lunch, you'll spend the afternoon floating down the river on a raft.

We had a very enjoyable tour. Rained the whole time but our guides forged ahead keeping things informative and entertaining. We were able to see a waterfall, sloths, toucans, snakes, frogs, monkeys, and an abundance of green lush nature. Ate good food and ended tour on a nice river float! Draw back, there is a lot of driving involved, especially if coming from the Pacific side. But you do so much stuff, was worth it. Thank you Austin and Josue for a great day!

Sehr hilfsbereite Tourguides, die zudem informativ und witzig die Tour begleitet haben. Wir hatten Glück recht früh am Morgen bei den Wasserfällen gewesen zu sein, da es später dort sehr voll wird. Wir haben zahlreiche Tiere im Dschungel gesehen, darunter auch die Faultiere. Auch war das Essen im Restaurant mitten im Dschungel ein Gedicht. Sehr lecker und frisch zubereitet. Wir können diese Tour absolut empfehlen.

Die Beschreibung des Ausflugs hat kaum eztwas mit der Realität zu tun. Auf der Hängebrückenwanderung haben wir weder Faultiere noch Klammeraffen und kaum Vögel zu Gesicht bekommen. Der Guide Henri war völlig lustlos, der Wasserfall keineswegs im Dschungel und die Flussfahrt hat keinen Nachmittag, sondern lediglich 1 Stunde gedauert. Auch der Fluss war nicht im Dschungel, von dem es an den beiden anderen Stationen auch nur spärliche Reste gab. Es gab im Bus kein Wasser zu trinken

Extremely long - almost 15 hours, most of it on the bus was somewhat unbearable. The risk to see the waterfall was not worth the reward. Both the rainforest hike and the Sloth visit were outstanding. The hanging bridges was disappointing in that we did not see any wildlife. I understand the raft riding was a true highlight, even though I didn’t participate. The bus driver and guide were outstanding - knowledgeable, enthusiastic and very friendly. Lunch was also great - great location!

Appreciate how the Guide took photos on our cell phone through his telescope of the animals. The guides were very knowledgeable and easy to understand. The lunch was delicious and in a brand new, beautiful restaurant.

Abundant wildlife seen. A full day excursion to experience true Puda Vida! David drove us around like rock stars despite a bout of heavy traffic.

He took time to explain many tidbits of cultural, floral, and animal information. He was also gracious by taking our pictures and making sure everyone was doing well and safe. The events were interesting and contained venues that allowed us firsthand exposure to Costa Rica’s beauty and wonders.

One of the best wildlife tour experience we had. Guide picked us up from the resort and explained the day activity, was very patient throughout the tour. Get to see and swim in the national park waterfall. Drive by dry and cloud forests followed by planting a tree. After lunch, hiked in the rain forest through hanging bridges along with habitat animals. Wrapped the day with river raft where we saw otter, monkeys, crocodiles, porcupine, bats and various type of birds. Awesome and Thank you!!!!

Each activity was great - but there wasn't enough time to fully enjoy each one. We didn't get to go over all the hanging bridges. We had 40 minutes only at the waterfall. We were gone for 13 hours. 4 hours and 45 minutes were drive time. It's way too long of a day. It should have been broken up into 2 different excursions.

Very disorganized experience. Poor communication, rude and condescending management, and no accountability for their mistakes. Our check-in issue was dismissed even with camera proof. We had to rearrange everything last minute. The tour guide was kind, but didn’t listen to the group’s needs. Overall, very stressful — I wouldn’t recommend it. 5/10.

Variable experiences in the package. Loved the water rafting, nature hikes, but unfortunately not much wild life to see. Staff tour guide and driver were very nice. Only thing I recommend is for first timers some kind of information on how to dress, what to bring to specific events. Items will be secured in the van, clothing, shoe's, that there is bathroom breaks is scheduled (to prevent dehydration). Info letting participant know tip is not included with price paid.

Would like to hear more history and geography from the guide. It would be great if when booking the agent would give a more specific list of recommended articles to take to make the most of the tour: take swimsuit, water shoes, change of clothes. The trail down to the falls was dangerous it could be remarkably improved.

It is truly wonderful that they allow the wild life to live freely. The beauty of Costa Rica is truly a paradise.

Was a very long day- 13 hrs from pick up to return at the hotel. from the Dreams Las Mareas it was about a 3 hour drive to get to the first activity and the first 40 min on the road from the hotel are extremely bumpy and the bus we were in didn't have good shocks. i would not recommend anyone with any spinal or motion sickness issues go from this location. The most liked was sloths and waterfall. hanging bridges were OK at best and not in the best repair - would avoid. Rafting was not great

We had so much fun doing the rafting and it was just a gentle float down the river with a few mild "rapids". The sloth sightings were amazing and we were lucky enough to see one climb down for a "**********" about ten feet away. All round, it was a very enjoyable day.

We would have benefited from more information pre-visit, eg. shoe guidance - enclosed better for the rainforest section & waterproof before the raft trip. I had chosen sturdy but open leather sandals. Poncho for the rainforest - might seem obvious to the rep but we’d never experienced a rainforest.

We got to see and do a lot in one day. We planted a tree sapling aimed at offsetting the carbon footprint of tourism. We had a gentle stroll on a private estate with a guide who helped us find and photograph several sloths. Our visit to the rainforest with some hanging bridges was interesting. It is a steeper climb and our guide walked us pretty fast. Most of the wildlife was hiding from us. The highlight was the exciting raft ride down a wide river. There was so much wildlife on the banks.

The entire experience was excellent. However, having a swim in the waterfall at the very start was not practical and also if left out would not have been missed. This would have also helped to shorten the experience as it was a very long and tiring day. The length of the day was the only thing we didn't enjoy. We left our hotel at 06.45 and got back at 20.30.

Nature walk at the volcano was pretty with multiple bridges. Many birds. No animals on the walk but good exercise and we enjoyed the cooler temp. Waterfall and rafting was fun. One thing: please include in your what to bring list, water and snacks as nothing was provided until lunch. Thank you

Jairo & Elvin were excellent as guide & driver. Both were very professional and Jairo was very educational and entertaining. I thought the sloth adventure was underwhelming. We expected to see more sloths up close. We really didn't see much wildlife at all. There was a lot of driving. The traffic on the way back was excruciatingly long with the stop and go traffic.

A brilliant day trip! Started the day with a visit to the waterfall, where we could have a quick swim - it was beautiful. Then got to see lots of wildlife, including sloths (3), snakes, frogs, monkeys, and toucans. Our guide, Jason, was brilliant - he was extremely knowledgeable and also very attentive, took lots of great photos for us. The rafting was a great way to end the day, very relaxing!

We loved the whole day. Each experience was unique and interesting. Lunch was very good. Our guide Jairo was brilliant and our driver Challo spotted wildlife on our journey and stopped if it was safe to do so. Our independent guide at the Sloth tour was absolutely fabulous, he was very knowledgeable and accommodating, ensuring each of our group of 8 git the chance to take photos. The rafting was a great end to the day, here again our raft guide was funny and spotted wildlife for us.

TUI trip description poor. What’s on offer was a really good mixture of experiences. Starts with a trip to a waterfall - bring beach shoes towel and swimwear for a quick dip. Then off to the rain forest- tree planting, a visit to spot sloths followed by a typical Costa Rican lunch. The trip was wet -it’s rain forest- so bring waterproof. Most wildlife was hiding away which made them hard to spot. A walk in the rain forest including hanging bridges with a raft trip on the way back. 12 hr trip

Our guide Austin was great. The rafting at the end of the day was the best bit. It seemed that too much was trying to be crammed into the day which lead the excursion to be far longer than the 8 hours advertised. The lunch was ok but a bit basic and it would been nice to have had a drink with it other than just water. I’m glad I went but would not be doing it again. Thanks Austin for your enthusiasm.

Bryan our tour guide and Carlos our driver were both really great. The rainforest was true to its word and rained all day but it didn’t stop it from being a jam packed fun day. We started at the waterfall, went on to plant a tree where we saw a frog sleeping, from there we went for the walk through the rainforest and saw sloths, monkeys and frogs, had a lovely lunch, then went to walk through the hanging bridges and onto the raft, where we saw crocodiles and so many birds. Would recommend.

The tour was great the day was long. Our tour guide was so nice and informative. Our bus and driver were excellent as well. Lunch was delicious. We were staying at the Westin so it was a long drive filled with slow traffic. Not sure that anything can be done about that but it took us 2 and a half hours to get back and we were all exhausted so that took away from the experience a little bit.

This tour is excellent all rounder, a bit of travelling between locations but you covered sloths, toucans, frogs, extra wildlife, botanical jungle, cloud bridges (unfortunately we could not complete these due to the weather). Rafting was a float with splashes a guide does all the work for you you sit there and enjoy the ride all the time while spotting wildlife around the river.

I liked the rain forest, but wasn’t long enough. I would have preferred a longer rain forest and shorter trail silk. I can jog at home but I can’t do the rain forest at home. The meal was a joke. I got a few pieces of ribs, mostly fat and bones. Where’s the meat

Scenery beautiful and our tour guide was so warm and friendly with so much knowledge. Driver was brilliant too especially with all the potholes he had to contend with. Would thoroughly recommend this tour.

This was a really interesting day out, with a variety of activities. The highlights for us were the river rafting, where we saw lots of different wildlife and the walk around an area of rainforest to plant a tree. The guides were really knowledgeable and interesting. We had to abandon the hanging bridges walk due to an almighty thunderstorm that hit the area. The guide apologised sincerely and explained that it wouldn't be safe to continue for safety reasons. It was a great day out though.

Die Tour ist zu langatmig. Insbesondere die Wanderung durch den Wald über die Hängebrücken war etwas to much. Der Guide hat sich schon bemüht, wo aber nichts ist, kann man auch nichts zeigen. Eine Flasche Wasser im Bus hätte der Sache auch gut getan. Ach zum Mittagessen gab es zwei drei verschiedene Getränke inklusive, alles andere musste man kaufen. Zwei Euro teurer die Tour und es ist auch ein Kaffee drin. So würden wir die Tour nicht nochmal buchen.

We were collected from Rui Palace at 7.30am and then taken to an office to collect some more people before setting off to the waterfall which was about 30 minutes away. Opportunity to swim & toilets/changing rooms were available which was a pleasant surprise. After this we went to the rainforest to look for animals and cross the hanging bridges. After a nice lunch we went to see sloths tree frogs etc. Then the river raft which was gentle and we saw lots of birds and monkeys. Arrived back at 7.30

The whole itinerary was enjoyable. Appreciated the small group rather than a large coach of people. Long day from 6.45 am - 8.30 pm. Were not expecting to be taken to plant a tree, but happy to do it as it was in a lovely setting and saw more wildlife. Lunch was excellent. The guide had a good grasp of English; was informative and enthusiastic. The water rafting was huge fun and I would have been happy to do this for longer as our guide made a real effort to show us the wildlife.

Planted a tree as part of the countries conservation efforts, beautiful area full of plants and flowers. Trek in the rain forest over hanging bridges for a great view. Excellent lunch. Another nature walk we saw 4 of the 7 resident Sloths. The guide Kevin was brilliant. Finally a river raft trip with Oscar. Tip take a towel and rain jacket.

This was a great mix of experiences although the description didn’t actually explain what we were dong so weren’t dressed correctly. First was a visit to the waterfalls for a swim then get charged only to get wet again rafting had we known we wouldn’t have changed. Rafting was great after which we had lunch before going on two walks firstly to see sloths which was amazing and then into the tree canopy were we saw an anteater. What a great day may have been good to do the walks first.
