Summary: Amazing Costa Rican experience! If you're looking to see sloths, monkeys, snakes, frogs, and birds like toucan and kingfisher in their natural habitats - we saw them all! Add the educational experience of learning about coffee production and history as well as chocolate, and a delicious lunch, this is the tour for you. Well done, and thank you!

Summary: This was such a fun tour and a great way to spend the day in Costa Rica. The waterfall was majestic and we loved getting in the water. It was nice we had a place to change after before heading to the coffee and chocolate tour. That was the best part as it was so fun and interactive. The lunch served was delicious and the driver was kind enough to help us get a cake during the day to celebrate our friend's birthday. They helped make it special. While we did not see many animals on the rainforest tour because it rained very hard, they were accommodating. It is a rain forest after all, so rain is expected. Still 5 stars because overall, it was a great experience.
