Excellent way to see the Arenal/La Fortuna highlights - Excellent way to see the highlights of the Arenal/La Fortuna area! We chose a 7 hour experience which we felt was the right amount of time -- a full day, yet not too much! Diego was our guide. He was clear in all of his explanations about what to expect throughout the day and kept a comfortable pace throughout the different experiences. Diego was skilled at spotting wildlife. We enjoyed seeing the wildlife through his high-powered scope and appreciated the photos he would take for us. The lunch was a great way to conclude the day - delicious local Costa Rican food in a nice setting. I recommend this tour company as they clearly prioritized professionalism, safety and enjoyment.

Soak in the beauty of Costa Rica! - This was an incredible day enjoying the flora and fauna of Costa Rica! Our guide, Diego, was outstanding and went above and beyond to ensure we saw all there was to see (birds, vipers, poisonous frogs, sloths, toucans, howler monkeys). His insights and explanations added to our appreciation and understanding. The transport was comfortable and the lunch was beautifully presented in a lovely setting. Highly recommended!

Wonderful hike Nd swim! - What a wonderful trip. José our guide and Marvin our driver were awesome. Jose knows his stuff and his stories about what his grandfather taught him were worth the trip alone. The lunch was fantastic and a wonderful way to finish the trip. Highly recommend this trip - and request José and Marvin - years of local knowledge and very safe and welcoming accommodations.

A full-day seeing natural Costa Rica - Leon and Melany were fantastic guides. We were picked up right from our hotel and along the drive they shared facts about CR and what we would be seeing. They were engaging and personable. Our bus divided into groups and Melany led our hanging bridges tour- pointed out all types of wildlife. Her knowledge was extensive and interesting. She carried a high-powered scope and when we looked thru, the birds and monkeys were crystal clear. She was able to capture these creatures with out mobile phones thru the scope!! Kevin walked with our group to the waterfall. The power of the falls was impressive and chilly. He walked and supported the group as we climbed back up. The fresh watermelon and pineapple was a surprise treat after the bridges tour. Lunch afterwards was authentic, delicious and in a beautiful setting. We all had a fabulous day!!

Highly recommend a private tour! Ask for Andres - Highly recommend Jacamar and the private tour option! We booked a combo Hike & Nature tour along with zip-lining for our family of 4. Our tour guide on the canopy tour hike, Andres, was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable, taught us a ton about the rain forest, and made the hike fun. Andres pointed out several animals that we would have walked by without notice. I would not do the tour without a guide like Andres.

Jacamar Tours excellent way to see the Hanging Bridges and La Fortuna Waterfall. - Jacamar tours made seeing the hanging bridges and La Fortuna Waterfall in Costa Rica so fun and easy. The shuttles are very nice, comfortable, and clean. The tour guides are very informative and pointed out wildlife that we would've never seen on our own. Being picked up at our resort and dropped off at the entrance to the tours was phenomenal. We felt very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend using Jacamar tour guides when visiting any of the local sightseeing areas.
