    Harlen was a fantastic tour guide full of positive energy and enthusiasm. He's full of interesting facts about Costa Rican culture and geography, and he has an eagle eye for the local wildlife. Spotting two sloths on the side of the road was a highlight of the tour. The overall schedule to the day was also perfect — just enough stops along the way to break up a long drive, and excitement mixed in with relaxation. 10/10 would recommend.

    This was one of our best activity while we were on our holiday.Every detail was perfect from our first stop until the last. Zip-line was so much fun the vulcano pools felt incredible the place with the waterfall and with the hummingbirds was the cutest place what we experienced and our guide was a really nice guy. Recommend it to anyone any age!

    Nice drive to Arenal. Waterfalls and a breakfast stop with lots of birds made the drive go quickly. Our zipline experience was fun, but drenching! The tropical rain came early afternoon--common for the cloud forest. Next stop was the Paradise Hot Springs. The resort was beautiful with orchids everywhere and 3 pools! After a nice dinner, we headed home in the fog and rain. Made for a long trip ;p
