The best guide in Costa Rica at Hacienda Ebano - The waterfall and rainforest safari tour was the highlight of our trip. The grounds at Hacienda Ebano are beautiful and full of wildlife. Our Guide Juan Carlos made the tour so special. With him we were able to see many birds including both kinds of toucans. We saw two kinds of poison dart frogs and learned about the rainforest ecosystem. We had the waterfall to ourselves as we took a refreshing dip. We finished the tour with a delicious lunch. I can’t recommend this tour enough. If you go, please ask for Juan Carlos. He was the best tour guide we had during our entire trip and we had wonderful guides in most places. Juan Carlos shows his passion for the land and ecosystem and makes you feel like a sort of his family. Don’t miss this one.

JUAN CARLOS IS THE BEST TOUR GUIDE IN COSTA RICA! - J.C. was our tour guide and truly loves nature! He showed us so much wildlife, explained culture and various eco. We had a private tour with multiple toucans, owl, hawk, and went into our private waterfalls! The lunch was not in the banana leafs like we were hoping for......But, the food was Amazing! The staff was super friendly! After 8 days of tours, we found Juan Carlos to have provided the most Amazing Experience!

Great Nature Experience - This tour was really lovely. We were a group of six, with the oldest being 82 years old and the youngest being 30. Everyone had a great time. The rivers and falls were beautiful and the guides were knowledgeable and interesting, and very friendly. I highly recommend this tour.

Very special Costa Rican safari - My wife and I were incredibly lucky to have both the truck and the guide all to ourselves. Our guide, Juan Carlos, was not only very friendly but also deeply passionate about nature. We were fortunate to spot two slaty-tailed trogons and an osprey! As we made our way along the trail, we encountered various frogs and stunning waterfalls, making the hike a truly enjoyable experience. After the walk, we hopped back into the truck and headed up to a breathtaking ocean viewpoint. On the way, we were thrilled to see a group of howler monkeys—two mothers with their babies and an impressive male. That was an unforgettable moment! At the top, we soaked in the spectacular view while sipping on a fresh coconut, followed by a delicious traditional Costa Rican lunch. Everything about this tour was fantastic, and we can highly recommend it.

Totally worth it! - My husband and I booked the sunset tour on their website and were very lucky to be the only ones on the tour that day! Juan Carlos was our guide and he was exceptional. He was very kind and, even though he was leading the tour, he was never more than a few feet ahead of us, without us needing to ask to adjust the pace. I did expect it to be a tour more focused on the jeep, but it does seem more focused on the waterfall hike - which is a quick, relatively easy hike. Swimming in the waterfall was amazing and so great to have it all to ourselves, especially since most the waterfalls here have a good amount of people visiting. We were able to see some beautiful birds and a couple dart frogs. The sunset overlook was insane. We’re very grateful to Juan Carlos for our experience!

Great tour and value - This tour was excellent. Cesar was so very kind, professional and knowledgeable of the area, flora and fauna. He made sure my family was well taken care of. We drove to where we got out of the safari style vehicle and did a lovely hike to a few waterfalls. My family and I swam and he took family photos for us. As we walked along he gave historical commentary of the area as well as pointed our many different species of plants, trees, flowers, insects and frogs. He was very knowledgeable. After hiking and swimming he took us to a beautiful outlook point and provided fresh coconut water and coconut for snack. We continued down where we stopped a few times for him to provide explanations of the landscape and to cut us some fresh sugar cane which I have not had since a small child. We went back to Ebano Restaurant for the most delicious typical Costa Rican meal. Best meal so far on our trip. Thank you Cesar for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend to others .

A beautiful day in Hacienda Ébano! - Excellent tour! The organisation and the guide did everything to give us plenty of opportunities to enjoy all the beautiful things Hacienda Ébano has to offer: a comfortable vehicle, the amazing views, nice trails, beautiful waterfalls where you can swim and, not to forget, a delicious lunch in a wonderful spot next to the Jade waterfall. An experience I can certainly recommend!
