"This was the most incredible tour! There are lots of tours of the hanging bridges, but to be able to do it at twilight with a guide who brings a high powered telescope is unbeatable. Plus, the park was empty as most yours are mornings or afternoons so we had the park to ourselves. Our guide would find the animals, use our phones thru his telescope lens & capture the most incredible photos & videos - things there’s no way we could find or capture on our own or part of a large tour group. The bridges were incredible & as night started to fall, the jungle came alive with sounds! Truly incredible tour!"

"This was an excellent all day trip from our hotel in San Jose (Marriott Hacienda Belen). We were picked up at 5:45am and brought back to the hotel by 8:30pm. The coach bus was comfortable. 2 hour trip to the coast. 2 hour boat ride to the island. Same coming back. The breakfast was good; though light, so I recommend you bring something to supplement. Drinks on the boat bar were good. The island is stunning and we were on there for 5 hours. Did the snorkeling and banana boat activities (for extra fee). Both were fun and worth the nominal fee. Gift shop with shirts, sundries, and sunscreen was on the island. They accepted credit cards. Paid for a wifi password and it was worth it. Lunch (included) was more than expected: salad, potato salad, rice, chicken, and fish. Tasted good and did not leave us hungry. Cash bar on the island was good too (nice that you could start a tab on the boat in the morning, continue it to the island, and then continue it on the boat back!). The ONLY downside to the trip was the location of the volleyball court. It was literally right in front of our beach chairs (chairs provided by our tour). I can't tell you how many times the ball hit people trying to relax. Other than that it was really a perfect trip. Bring your own towel. There were some street vendors selling kabobs and a small convenience store selling snacks before we got back on the bus home. I entertained 9 co-workers and 14 clients. I would recommend again!"

"This tour was the most incredible experience I could have asked for in San Jose. I did not know what to expect but upon the tour's start I knew I was in for a treat. I was treated to an incredible and descriptive hike in which I was able to view all the biodiversity and experience the magical waterfall from multiple views. There is a great view of the mountains during the hike so bring a camera! After the hike, I experienced the private hot spring which was relaxing and therapeutic."
