Excellent Trip & tour guide!!! Highly recommended. - This is our family's first time in Costa Rica and our first 'Adventure'. Jose was our tour guide and Hernan our driver. What an AMAZING time the family and I had on this trip with Jose sharing his extensive knowledge of the forest life, plants, and seeing Toucan birds, poisonous snakes and red-eye, and blue jean frogs (some poisonous as well) - all before getting to the highlight of seeing the Sloths and the treat of a Baby Sloth. Waterfall was beautiful and coffee / cocoa tour was excellent as well. Stop for Costa Rica's traditional Casado lunch and natural fruit drinks. We had an excellent time, plenty of sights (I forgot we also saw a few monkeys), pic and family memories that will last a lifetime. I would do a tour with Jose and Hernan again and highly recommend them... Pura Vida!

Friends celebrating a 40th! - We decided on this tour because of the numerous activities and sights for a group of 10 friends celebrating my 40th birthday and had an amazing experience! Daniel was a knowledgeable and friendly guide and made sure to take time to explain things. The transfer bus picked us up at our rental house and the drive was 3 hours but Daniel spent a lot of time talking about the CR history and biodiversity. Daniel made this extra special and even went out of his way to have a birthday cake and wine as a surprise for my 40th. I would recommend this tour day to anyone. 10 out of 10!

Great day in Guanacaste! - We had a great day traveling to Rio Celeste and the Sloth Sanctuary. Estaban was knowledgeable, helpful and answered all of our questions. On the hike to Rio Celeste Esteban pointed out different plants and animals along the way. Leaf-cutter ants and a viper were highlights! We only had time for the sloth sanctuary, but it was a must visit. During our time there we saw several sloths, including a baby sloth, and frogs to name a few. Overall a great day and experience. 100% recommend!

Agencia 506 and Don José, incredible experience. - The experience is simply magnificent, beyond the beauty of the place and the perfect climate; What takes the cake was the tremendous professionalism, customer service and experience provided by Don José, a guide and nature expert who is on another level. I would recommend everyone to use their services and without a doubt in a couple of years I will return to request their services again.

Celeste River - José is the best guide, he knows a lot about nature and the history of Costa Rica, so he made an effort to make sure we saw and learned a lot, and the agency was super attentive to us and our needs, the best tour I took in Costa Rica, plus Since it is private, it is very personalized and according to what we wanted to see. The coffee and chocolate tour is delicious.

A must see tour - Esteban and Junior were great tour guides who truly have a penchant for nature. They both went out of their way to show us any animal they could. In total, we saw the following animals: toucans, turtle, white face capuchins, tayra, possum, eyelash viper, sloths, blue jeans frog, and, green tree frog. Our visit ended with a wonderful tour of a coffee and chocolate farm. It was a very memorable and worth it trip!

Amazing Day - Today was a wonderful fabulous adventure! Jose was an amazing guide! His passion for his job and love for Costa Rica came shining through! He truly made our day memorable. He worked so hard to make sure we were happy and tried to help us see everything on our wish list! The waterfall was gorgeous, lunch delicious, and the animals Jose found for us to view in nature mesmerizing! We saw 3 different eyelash pit viper snakes, lizards, frogs, a Toucan, and an adorable baby sloth to name a few! Then we ended the day with an entertaining coffee and cocoa tour. The day flew by and the long drive from Tamarindo was worth it. Jose filled the time with local lore and facts along the way! If you want a way to really take in Costa Rica, I highly recommend this tour with Jose as your guide!

The Nature lover’s dream - I cannot praise our tour guide, Jose, enough for this incredible experience. We participated in a private tour as a group of 6. Upon meeting us, Jose asked us what we expected to gain from our day. He really wanted to cater the experience to our groups needs. We immediately felt at ease knowing he was going to take great care of us. Our goal was to see as much wildlife and nature as possible! Talk about over delivering!! Jose immersed us into this tropical wonderland, locating wildlife plants flowers for us to learn about, assisting with capturing the most magnificent photos. We were so fortunate to have a close up of a young sloth who playfully entertained us by coming down from the tree and posing for photos and video. One of the most beautiful highlights of our day was while we enjoyed lunch at the authentic Costa Rican restaurant. Jose thoughtfully arranged for a birthday cake and a birthday song for our friend turning 50 that day. We literally could not of enjoyed ourselves anymore. True passion and love for his job was apparent the whole day - bravo Jose!
