EXCELLENT Based on 300 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Lisa SVerified Great snapshot of some of Costa Rica’s wonderful nature and commerce! Pablo was an excellent driver and guide who spoke perfect English. He was pleasant, informative and conscientious. Our comfort and enjoyment was his primary goal. He was respectful of the time management needed to optimize our experience .The van was spotless, the water nice and chilled and the temperature of the van was perfect. The only negative was the lunch. Food arrived at room temperature that should have been warm and was not particularly palatable. Perhaps a change in food venue? We would eagerly use Pablo again for another of the tours provide by Pure Natural! He was a wonderful breath of fresh air on a hot Central American day!! 😀 Thank You!Posted on Tripadvisor Libby AllenVerified Good experience The bus picked us up from our hotel. The guide was very friendly and told us lots of Fun Facts along the way. Lunch was included and water bottles were provided. We saw sloths, a tapir, a tropical frog, toucan, and small snakes on the sloth tour. The hike to the waterfall was short and easy. Bring a bathing suit!Posted on Tripadvisor Michele CVerified The BEST day in Costa Rica! We had the absolute BEST day!! Everything was perfect. We saw so many sloths, plus our guide and driver found lots of wildlife along the way. Pablo was a super knowledgeable guide and k ew a ton about the history and wildlife of Costa Rica. Such a memorable experience!!!Posted on Tripadvisor courtney dVerified ¡Excursión increíble! Carlos fue nuestro guía para esta excursión y fue absolutamente increíble. Empezamos en el santuario perezoso y nuestro guía allí fue excepcional. Llegamos a ver una serie de perezosos, una víbora de pozo, un tucán, una rana arbórea, y varios insectos y abejas. También es un lugar increíblemente hermoso y tranquilo. Luego fuimos de excursión a través de la selva tropical hasta la cascada de Río Celeste. Carlos fue un excelente guía durante toda la caminata. Después de la caminata continuamos en un restaurante para el almuerzo ... 5 de 5 en la comida. Y finalmente fue a nadar a otra cascada antes de terminar el día en una tienda de recuerdos y tomar un poco de helado. Recomiendo encarecidamente este tour, y si tienes suerte Carlos será tu guía. Si estás en Costa Rica, hazte un favor y sal de tu resort para ver la belleza de este país.Posted on Tripadvisor lorisikraVerified A Day To Remember Planning and coordination was easy. They picked up our group directly from our place. The guide was informative and personable. Our sloth experience was the highlight of the trip with amazing pictures to share. The lunch was delicious, coffee and cocoa tour enlightening, and waterfall refreshing. We had the best day!Posted on Tripadvisor Marie MVerified Proveedor cancelado sin notificación ¡Horrible experiencia! Reservado a través de un tercero, pero recibió un correo electrónico de confirmación de Pure nature Private Tours confirmando el tour. Said confirmaría la hora de recogida el día anterior. Nunca escuché ayer así que les envié un correo electrónico - nada. Esperé afuera por dos horas y nadie apareció. Comprobé mi reserva de nuevo solo para descubrir que había sido cancelado por el proveedor - ninguna notificación ni nada. Así que perdimos un día en Costa Rica sin hacer nada cuando podíamos haber reservado otra gira. Y ni siquiera un correo para cancelar o acusar recibo de nada. Gracias por nada. Comprador bewarPosted on Tripadvisor GranolaSMPVerified Best Excursion of our trip! Pablo and Orlando were absolutely amazing guides. This was the BEST excursion we've ever been on. Pablo was very personable, knowledgeable, and funny. We were in the shuttle quite a bit going between the different stops, and he found a way to perfectly balance sharing information, chatting with us, but also some quiet time to look around and take in the breathtaking beauty of Costa Rica. Orlando was a very attentive driver and kept us safe along the many winding roads. At our first stop, we had a short walk through the jungle and the guide was happy to take photos with each person's phone to capture the perfect shot of nature (e.g. frogs, sloths, tapiers, etc.). At our next step, the coffee and cocoa farm, the guide was passionate about sharing his knowledge and answered our many questions. Hilaria showed us how to make authentic Costa Rican coffee and then made us amazing chocolate milk that we dipped sugar cane in to sweeten. Lastly, we stopped at a waterfall for about 30 min - it wasn't too crowded and 30 minutes was the perfect amount of time to enjoy the surroundings and a break from the heat. Oh! And lunch was fantastic - Pablo made sure our order was placed ahead of time so when we pulled up, it arrived hot/ready within 5 minutes. Make sure to order the fresh Passionfruit juice! All in all, this was the highlight of our week long trip. Cannot say enough great things!Posted on Tripadvisor Swathi PVerified Fun filled day We had a fun time going to see the sloths, learning about coffee and chocolate and also at the waterfalls! They were beautiful and everyone was so friendly. Our tour guide Livingston Rivas was very knowledgeable and wonderful to spend the day with!Posted on Tripadvisor teresa wVerified Fun day! Carlos was a great guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We got to see a sloth up close. Also, enjoyed the waterfall. Overall, great trip!Posted on Tripadvisor Tina SVerified Long Tour but Worth It! Lots of driving but it was worth it! Livingston was an awesome guide and so knowledgeable about the sites of Costa Rica and the country's history as well. My husband and I very much enjoyed the visit to the waterfall -- everyone was allowed about 45 minutes to get into the water and take in the scenery. Then we headed to the rainforest for the sloth tour where we got to see so much wildlife and go on a short hike. It was a sunny day and there was so much to see and enjoy. Again, well worth the drive. We had lunch at a nearby restaurant and then headed to the coffee/chocolate tour, which was short but nice. Enjoyed the presentation and learning about how Costa Rica produces it's coffee and chocolate. It was a long day but I would do this tour again in a heartbeat.
