One of our favourite tours in CR!! - Yesterday we had an absolutely wonderful day visiting Dominical, a beautiful beach and jumping into several stunning waterfall pools! Our guide, Luis, made us feel safe and his energy and enthusiasm were fabulous! There were four tourists on our tour which was great! Lunch was delicious and the fruit snack at the waterfall was beautifully prepared by our guide. Luis took lots of videos and photos of us all too! We saw a sloth and a toucan at Nauyaca! Highly recommend this tour and company!!

Amazing scenery and exceptional treatment - Small business that does its job with affection. Eddie attentive at all times with any queries made about the different tours. We chose the full day excursion at Nauyaca Falls and it was an experience of the 💯 Starting with Portalón Fall, with jumps included, we continue to Playa Linda, where they have the detail of taking coconuts and peeling them right there, we follow Dominical with its artisan market and ending at the stunning Nauyaca Falls. Lovely scenery, the explanations of our Guide Luis, the detail of the fruit and the typical food in the soda of the entrance to the estate. It is a walk of about 15 minutes not complicated, the return that is climbed perhaps you have to go slower, also you have to go down to the river carefully but our Guide was always on the lookout. Luis is an excellent Guide, fun and attentive, made our family outing amazing. Highly recommended the experience.

Truly I N C R E D I B L E! - This was our first tour in Costa Rica - and by far, the best! Every single detail of the day was enjoyable and thoughtful. Eddie’s passion for Costa Rica and its rich culture and biodiversity was generously shared with us throughout the day, in an engaging, fun way. We felt comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Our meal, and fresh fruit were delicious! Eddie captured some amazing photos and videos for us, and took extra time to stop and show us some great wildlife! We laughed a lot, made memories that will last a lifetime, and with the help of Eddie and Bright Adventures, fell in love with Costa Rica.

The BEST day in Costa Rica - This was our favorite day in Costa Rica. We had just enough adventure for our two teen boys but also nothing too crazy that Mom couldn’t handle. Eddie and his guys were the friendliest and gave us the most education and experience we could fit into one day.

Best tour for an adventure of beautiful Costa Rica. - An amazing fun day and loved by whole family. This tour with our guides Steve and David was truly the best we have ever had. The guides are so knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Along with the exciting waterfalls, a beautiful beach and stunning lunch location this is the tour to take. The waterfalls were so exciting and beautiful, we were even able to watch local kids do daredevil jumps that made us hold our breath. The beach location was beyond stunning with warm water and was peaceful and relaxing. The lunch location was unbelievable with view of the ocean from both sides and the food was delicious. The guides ordered our choices of meals on the way in so it was ready for us right as we sat down. The Fish Tacos, chicken fingers and Caesar salad were devoured by all of us. Our family group consisted of 4 children ages Teen - 21, and us. Our whole family loved the day and recommend it to all who want an adventure and want a feel of what beautiful Costa Rica has to offer.

MUST DO in Manuel Antonio - All-Day-Tour Review A perfect mix of Costa Rican vibes (high-quality experience) This all-day tour was - simply put - a fantastic experience. The combination of beaches, waterfalls, and vibrant colorful nature, was well balanced out, providing a real feel of Costa Rica. On vacation with my daughters, we’ve been hopping around areas that are considered some of the best places to visit in Costa Rica, and we all agree that this tour was by far the best opportunity to fit in the major parts of the country in one day. Our tour guide, Eddie, was also a great part of this experience. You can clearly tell he is a pro in all of this. Knowing so much about CR, recommending several different ways to spend the time visiting, and loving his job to the fullest, all gave the fact away that Eddie was a natural. He even cut up fresh fruits for us! We couldn’t be more grateful for Costa Rica’s tour guides and Eddie truly proved that even more. His kind, generous and experienced personality made this tour that much better. And it just proves further more how great this business is organized. Can’t say enough about this tour. It’s a must-do! Highly recommended!

Best excursion ever! - We absolutely loved this tour! Louis, Andy and Carlos were awesome! We had so much fun jumping off the waterfalls, swimming, hiking through the jungle. Louis was so friendly and made sure we were always ok. We went to a private beach and swam in the warm waters, toured a small town where locals sold souvenirs. Stopped at a local fruit stand and got the most delicious pineapple we have ever had! Our whole tour had such a good time, Louis absolutely made the tour! He was so personable and showed all of us his personal attention. I wish he was our tour guide for every tour we do. He was always there ready to take pics with our phones. And the lunch was great on top. It's a full day so be prepared, bring bug spray if your prone to bites. Thank you Louis, Andy and Carlos!

I recommend - Very good excursion. The fruit and lunch service is a little basic but it is really worth it. The waterfalls are unmissable. The town with souvenirs could be skipped. The same as everywhere
