    Our driver Gaylord was great and informative. The tour fun and it was nice to see the animals. Seeing the waterfalls up close was amazing.

    This was a lifelong dream fulfilled for my Mom whose birthday we were celebrating. She absolutely loves waterfalls and wanted to see one up close and personal. Not only did she see one but four!!!! To see the look of elation on her face was priceless. All of the effort and exertion to see all the waterfalls was well worth it. This place is AMAZING!!!! Absolutely breathtaking and beautiful scenery. A nature lover's dream. Our guide, Roger, was very knowledgeable about the rich history of Costa Rica and the different species of animals at the Wildlife Refuge. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone and just say put on your best walking shoes and enjoy the view!

    A very enjoyable day. Roger was just a super tour guide. We learned a lot about the wild animals and birds. There were so many views of the waterfall that were well worth the walk! The food was amazing. Also we had an excellent driver. Highly recommend!

    Tour guide Edgar was excellent. Informative, professional, helpful and a joy to spend with day with him. Coffee plantation stop was fun and educational. Great lunch, and La Paz refuge was impressive. Wear good shoes and be ready to walk/hike to the falls. Worth the effort 👌

    We saw so many beautiful flora and fauna yesterday. The waterfalls were amazing. The lunch was very good. The guide was very personable and knowledgeable. The microbus was very comfortable. Highly recommend good hiking boots. There are lots of slippery stairs. Being physically fit is a plus. Will use this tour company again!

    The whole day was wonderful. The animals regret the waterfalls were spectacular and it didn’t rain on us.

    I loved going through the aviary, butterfly garden and seeing the waterfalls. Also, the food served for lunch was excellent.

    We couldn't be happier with this trip, Oscar Sandoval was our guide and he went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and get the best out of this tour. We ended up getting a private tour because no one else booked that trip on that day so it was very nice and enjoyable, instead of cancelling it, they still gave us our tour and we appreciate that so much. He also explained how things work in CR, buildings history, soil treatments,etc, he is very knowledgeable, down to earth and friendly, it felt like going on a trip with a friend more than a company, we are very happy and can't wait to book again with them, we recommend Oscar 100%

    I'm not usually a fan of tour groups but I was looking for a day trip from San Jose and this seemed like a good option for a solo traveler. It was a really nice experience. The tour guide, Fran, was full of energy and very sweet. We made a stop at a coffee plantation before heading to La Paz which was really cool to see. And the waterfalls were breathtaking. Definitely worth doing
