I'm so glad that we chose to have a tour guide. Without her, we wouldn't have seen half as much as we did and she was full of interesting facts.
Response from Host , Jun. 2022
Thanks for joining us!. This Private Reserve is a perfect option for connecting with nature and enjoys an outdoor activity; one of the top tours in Arenal. The guided tour is the perfect option for people who want to see animals since the expert eye of the guide contributes to the sightings. The Self-Guided tour is recommended for meditation, a nature connection, and no limit walk, on your own.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Best guide!

What a great tour! Anderson was wonderful. He stopped along the way with his telescope and found many sights for us to see and took pictures for us! Truly a great guide… thank you!

Anderson led a great tour! He saw things that we would have never seen he hadn’t been with us. Birds, snakes, poison dart frogs, bats and most importantly of all a two toed sloth. Great Experience!

We had an amazing time on the tour. Anderson was really knowledgeable and took his time to answer our questions. I highly recommend taking the tour if you are interested in seeing wildlife and learning about the them and the vegetation. We saw a tarantula, 3 snakes, 2 red eyed frogs, two types of monkeys, red frog, worker ants and a snail. Without Anderson we honestly would have just walked the trail and bridges. I doubt we would’ve seen any animals except for the monkeys bc they were loud and moved a lot in the trees. He carried a telescope so that we could see them as some animals/insects were camouflaged and difficult to see from afar. Anderson was patient with us and let us take our time to take pictures. Our group was small, only 8 people, so it was nice to chat with other guests and Anderson. The hike itself is not strenuous but it is a long hike. Our tour was in English.

Gabriela was such an amazing guide!! She was so knowledgeable, personable, and her care for the rainforest and all of it’s inhabitants was so apparent! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Thank you so much, Gabriela, you taught us so much!
Thank you,

Anderson was such a great guide!
Despite being in a downpour, he was able to point out bats, birds, lizards, frogs, and tarantulas.
He made me feel a lot less nervous about the hanging bridges (they sway & bounce & are high up) and encouraged me along the way.
I very much recommend this tour with Anderson!

We had an excellent time taking a tour at the hanging bridges. We were very glad we chose to have a guide take us around the park. Carlos showed us all kinds of wildlife and vegetation that we would have never seen has we not had a guide. We actually had a couple people try and join our tour halfway through b/c they saw the benefit of having s guide take you. Definitely a must and I would highly recommend going with s guide.

Great experience touring the area with a fantastic guide. We were able to see a variety of birds, frogs, monkeys, and other wildlife. Definitely recommend a guided tour as I would not have seen the vast majority of animals, birds, and insects without her guidance.

One of the best parks for viewing nature in Costa Rica!

One of the best parks for viewing nature in Costa Rica! And one of the best preserved forests I’ve been to in the 3 years I’ve lived here. Well worth the visit!!
Carlos, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and had a keen ability to find the smallest, most hidden of creatures. We really enjoyed our tour with him.
It is a popular tour though so it was a little bit crowded at times. However, Carlos did a good job trying to maintain separation between the other groups.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
