5Amazing wildlife experience!!
My family and I recently did this tour and absolutely loved it! We saw a lot of wildlife and our guide (Dayro) was extremely helpful in spotting them and helping us take pictures. We learned so much and enjoyed having a private tour where everything was taken care of and thought of in advance. Highly recommend!
5Dayro was incredible…professional, knowledgeable, courteous, friendly! He made our family’s tour very memorable!!
We spent 11 hours with our guide, Dayro, and enjoyed every minute! He drove us safely to all our destinations in a timely manner. He hiked for three hours in the rain, helped us spot many wildlife and taught us about CR culture and food along the way. We would highly recommend him and look forward to doing more tours with him in the future!
5Above and beyond tour guide
León was our tour guide and we enjoyed the whole trip. We got lots of cool photos of the waterfall and very cool photos and videos of the wildlife. The car ride was comfortable and both guides were knowledgeable about the wildlife and area.
5Wonderful excursion!
On The Road Costa Rica was great. The pick up was on time and the driver was very informative. The waterfall was beautiful and the water was so refreshing, didn’t want to leave. Will definitely book with them again.
5Sloths, monkeys, toucans, and impossibly blue water ❤️
Dayro picked us up promptly at 6:30 am in front on our condo in Tamarindo. The drive was about 2.5 hours, but we had good conversation, stopped along the way for coffee and pastries, and got a little sleep while he drove. The national park wasn’t too busy, and we made the hike to the Rio Celeste waterfall pretty quickly. After that, we saw hot springs, a blue lagoon, and the coolest thing we’ve ever seen in nature—the spot where the river turns from brown to bright blue. Amazing! Along the way, Dayro pointed out sloths, howler monkeys, snakes, toucans, and all kinds of cool plants. The hike was intense but totally worth it. Afterward, he took us to see sloths closer than we’ve ever seen one before at a wildlife preserve area near the park. Lunch was fantastic. He helped us decide what to order and made the whole day smooth and productive. Tips: Bring ponchos, extra water, and dry socks/a change of shoes. Definitely recommend!

About Tamarindo
Tamarindo is a surf town on Costa Rica's Guanacaste coast, with a wide sandy bay, an estuary and a strip of beach bars looking west to the sunset.
Tamarindo grew from a fishing village into the main beach town of Guanacaste, with its beach, shops and restaurants strung along one main road. The bay has gentle waves for beginners, and surf schools line the sand, while more powerful breaks lie a short drive along the coast. The estuary at the northern end shelters mangroves where herons and the occasional crocodile are seen from kayaks.
