Jens Uglvig2024-07-16We had a fantastic tour with David, seeing several three toed and two toed sloths, frogs, tucans and various other birds, and even a few bats hiding away - that was followed by a tortilla making session, where we had a delicious light lunch. Great service, very friendly, and very reasonably priced. Would recommend to all in the area!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Kady2024-07-12We did a night hike and it was fantastic! We walked right over from our hotel, about 10 minutes up the road. My 14 year old son loved the experience of exploring the jungle at night, but we felt very safe with our guide. We spotted a red-eyed tree frog, 2 snakes including a viper, a few spiders, a bat hanging from a banana leaf, some small and very big frogs, and a couple little lizards. You never know what you will see so I guess it's a toss up, but the guides were good at finding things. Afterward, we made tortillas and were served a delicious snack of cheese, a pork dish, and a little dessert. The whole experience was wonderful and took about 3 hours in all.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Andreas Zimmer2024-07-12Wir hatten heute die vermutlich bestmögliche Faultier -Beobachtungstour und es war bereits unsere vierte Tour während unseres Costa Rica Aufenthalts. Wir haben nicht nur acht verschiedene Faultiere gesehen, sondern auch eine Art Stachelschwein, welches überwiegend auf Bäumen lebt, dazu Leguane, Frösche und auch einen Ameisenbär! Unser Guide David ist wirklich der Beste, den wir bisher hatten, kompetent, herzlich und, man merkte es, stolz auf das, was er uns präsentieren konnte. Das Herstellen von eigenem Zuckerrohrsaft und das Formen der Tortillas sowie deren Verkostung rundete den tollen Nachmittag ab und nach 2,5 Stunden sind wir um viele Eindrücke reicher wieder ins Hotel zurück. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert! PS: Wir haben vor Ort 32 Dollar bezahlt, für das, was geboten wurde, ein super Preis! Vielen Dank für alles.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
belen fores2024-07-06Totalmente recomendado! Vimos 8 Perezosos! David un guía espectacular. Muchas gracias!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Beatrice Malnati2024-07-04Fantastic experience at this family-run hike! It ended up being just me and my boyfriend who booked our time slot, so we really got a personalized tour. David, our guide, asked us which animals we were most interesting in seeing and was great at spotting them and providing facts about each of them. He also helped us to take these pics through his binocular. The tortillas and drinks at the end were the cherry on top! The hike is all flat and on well-levelled terrain so I’m assuming it’s fine for kids or people with reduced mobility/energy level who may not be able to do a similar hike up the mountain. Very recommended!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Leo La2024-07-03Wir haben einen sehr schönen Spaziergang durch das Gelände mit David unternommen. Es war sehr informativ und interessant und das beste: wir konnten neben anderen Tieren, vier Faultiere beobachten. Der kleine Snack am Ende war auch super. Rundum eine sehr gelungene Tour mit super netten Guide. Absolute Empfehlung!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Megan Arndt2024-07-02This guided tour was spectacular! Our guide, David, was thoughtful, kind and SUPER informative about everything we ran into on this 14 acre re-forested jungle sanctuary. The paths were super easy to navigate, the flora abundant and the fauna seemed to show off. Being a younger forest all the trees are at the perfect height to be able to see the sloths from the ground with just the naked eye. But the telescope was awesome for photos and getting to see the faces. The tortilla making and sugar cane pressing were an added bonus and absolutely delicious. A truly delightful tour. We saw 7 sloths, 4 lizards, birds galore, learned about some crazy plants and avoided all snakes because David was a gem and knew we were terrified of them. You cannot go wrong with this family run business that puts care into the whole experience! We bought our tickets ahead and had the whole trip to ourselves.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Adriana Ribeiro2024-07-01Recomendo muito esse tour! O guia David foi muito atencioso, conseguimos avistar 6 preguiças, pássaros, alguns sapos e muitas plantas. Graças ao David conseguimos tirar muitas fotos. E no final ainda tomamos caldo de cana e fizemos nossas tortilhas.
