The private tour included pick up and drop off at our hotel in Ocotal, which was super helpful since we didn't have a car. Our guide was Wilmar - very friendly and knowledgeable. We first visited the Rescue Center, where we had plenty of time to tour at our leisure. The Center isn't a flashy tourist destination, so it's a nice place to just focus on the animals and the Center's mission. Our second stop was the beautiful waterfall, which also didn't feel like the usual tourist destination - many local families enjoying time together and playing in the water. Again, we didn't feel rushed to get in, get out and move on. Finally, we had lunch at a local cafe near Liberia on the way back - delicious! We had a nice time and recommend booking a tour with Wilmar.

Vandara Day Trip was a great time. Ziplining was fun, waterslide was fast and surprising! The hot springs were very relaxing. Not crowded, lots of space in the pools. I would recommend this as a great way to spend the day.

We were very excited for this tour, but unfortunately, our excitement dwindled slightly upon starting the tour. We originally booked a private tour (approximately twice the cost of a group tour), but for some unknown reason, there were additional individuals on our tour. When we inquired about this, we were told that they “were busy” and shrugged off. I have no problem sharing a tour, but I will not pay double what the other party paid.

Other than that, tour was pretty average. We wanted to stay busy in Tamarindo, as this has not been our favorite location in Costa Rica thus far, so it was a good option, but likely would skip again next time.

Hello! dear client I talked with the captain and tour guide was happened with this activity. They told me they make a private tour to you and partner. So later viator customer service sent me an email that you asking full money refund and I explain them what happened in this tour. So viator gave you full money refund to You and i received $0 USD. I don't understand why clients like you leave a average Review to My tour operator and take advantage as a client ask money refund as well you did the tour. This is not fair.

We took thus tour on Nov 26. Our driver and guide Wilmar was the best. We were seniors with mobility issues. Wilmar was patient, understanding and helpful . The boat tour was Scenic, relaxing and calming. We spotted a few crocodiles, white faced monkies and some rare birds. The veg lunch after the tour was delicious. Definitely recommend this tour and do not have any negative comments. Thank you Wilmar for a great tour.

We had an amazing trip, Reuben was the best guide, I would definitely recommend him. We were lucky to see all different types of heron even the elusive Green Heron and the huge Great Blue heron. We also stopped and walked into the forest to see the mantled howler monkey, amazing to see them in their natural environment. We loved it, thank you Reuben and Wilmar

This place is absolutely amazing!! So much in one spot, if Ziplining is on your bucket list do it here!!! The guides and the views are incredible, I felt safe and secure at all times and the grounds are simply beautiful! This is my 2nd time here and it was wonderful both times! Our guides were Steve,Steven,Alexander and Jordan and they did not disappoint! We had an elderly lady with us who was working on her bucket list and these guys made all is feel so safe and comfortable at all times, one of us got stuck and they were right there with the rescue that seemed effortless to them, they were so kind, caring and informative at all times! The paparazzi took some fabulous action shots! And let me not forget after the adventures you get a cultural tour and enjoy some coffe and some delicious pastries where you will have the pleasure of meeting Caramello the Ox!

Went with family aged 11-74. It was such a great experience. The team at the coffee and chocolate farm were so knowledgeable and we learned a lot. Plus the fresh coffee and hot cocoa were amazing. The tour at the sloth sanctuary was also great. We learned a lot and got to see a sloth close-up. High recommend. Suggest bringing bug spray for the rainforest hike.

This tour did not prove its worth because the area requires experienced hikers on narrow and high trails. They should advise persons to bring hiking shoes and a walking stick. It rained that day so the birding was not favorable, however, despite that event, the area did not seem to have an abundance of birds. We saw more birds on our resort grounds which were surrounded by a natural reserve. Monte Alto is 'alto' so hiking the area requires concentration & not an easy bird watching experience.

Hello! Betty In the tour description appear details of this birdwatching excursion and explain bring hiking shoes, hiking is moderate and require good physical conditions. Also in this Reserve there are more than 200 bird species but the weather conditions the day of the tour was too much rainy but the way the birds hidden. Have a great day!

Wilmer was the best!!! He made this excursion the best one we were on and we did 90% of the excursions when we were here for the month. I highly recommend asking for him as a tour guide or even a driver if you need private transportation :)

Wilmer is a great guide and knowledgeable about the area. He surprised us by taking us to the waterfalls first but when we got there it made a lot of sense (less hot and crowded in the morning). Visiting Las Pumas Rescue Center and Sanctuary was a priority for me & my husband, and Wilmer was very good about giving us the time we wanted there. I have some limited mobility and I never felt rushed. Everything was at our own pace. Highly recommend hiring Wilmer for a private tour tailored to your needs.
