EXCELLENT Based on 743 reviews Posted on Céline M.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir haben über getyourguide eine Faultiertour hier gebucht. Die Buchung hat super geklappt. Pünktlich gingen wir mit unserem super Guide Sergio los. Wir haben folgende Tiere gesehen: div. Vogelarten (inkl. Tukan und Kolibris). einen Hasen, Fledermäuse, Frösche und mehrere Arten von Faultieren und ein Stachelschwein. Sergio ist extrem nett und hat viel über die Tierarten erklärt und wir konnten die Tiere via Feldstecher beobachten. Er hat sogar Fotos davon gemacht auf unseren Handys. Zum Schliss gab es selbergemachten Zuckerrohrsirup und Tortillas. Wunderbares Erlebnis!Posted on Sam BakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

A huge thank you to our guide David, who gave us an incredible tour thanks to his explanations, kindness, and professionalism. We were lucky enough to see six sloths, a baby sloth, lizards, squirrels, bats, and birds. David was extremely attentive and helped us take some wonderful photos.Posted on Maggie HaberbergerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked a morning hike last minute and were so glad we did!! Mariolas has to be one of the best values regarding price and is still a slow and ethical touring experience. Sergio was our guide, and he was wonderful! He has super sharp eyes to spot the sloths hidden away and even tiny little dart frogs. Hes a great speaker. The cane sugar water and the fresh tortillas topped it off perfectly! Thank you!!Posted on Taylor marvelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jamie was absolutely amazing! She found several sloths 🦥, frogs 🐸, birds 🐦, and was full of knowledge. Ask for her to give your tour. You will not be disappointed. A++++Posted on Martin BorkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wunderschöner kleiner Park, die Tour in kleinen Gruppen, sehr gute Guides, ein absolutes Highlight unseres Costa Rica Aufenthaltes
