Feedback From Travelers
Safe. Just like Robinson Crusoe of the 21st. Century.Spacious and beautiful. You can see more animals sharing your meal with you.Absolutely. This isle is enchanting. Very hospitable (como todos los Ticos) Excellent and muy amable.
The tour guides were hospitable and lunch was very good. Would recommend for those who enjoy typical tourist excursions, however, it did not feel like an authentic Costa Rican experienced (compared to our other tours and experiences)
Although the bus trip was a bit long Joshua our guide kept us entertained with Costa Rica facts and made the time fly by. It was wonderful to see and feel his love for his country . Mariana was also extremely friendly and knowledgeable. It was an amazing day, completely stress free:)
