So many animals! - We used this company two years ago when we stayed at Planet Hollywood. We enjoyed the trips and flexibility so much, that we looked up Aron when we returned in July 2024 with all of our family. He is typically cheaper than the hotel run tours and very knowledgeable. We took an amazing trip with his crew to Nicaragua last time. This year we did ATVs, Palo Verde and sloths. We were not disappointed! The Palo Verde plus sloth farm was a very long day from our house in Hacienda Pinilla, but so worth it. We saw every animal imaginable. Alex was our guide and did a great job educating us about the animals and all about Costa Rica’s ecosystem and economy. We were very pleased with our trip, our guide, Alex, and our driver, Boris. Thank you!!

Sloths, crocodiles, monkeys and more! With the best ever tour guides: Alex and Gino! - Alex and Gino will give you the best experience! Start off your day with a ride into high altitude - walk into the bluest stream you’ve ever seen and enjoy the water. Our driver, Gino, pulled over for us to jump out and see Toucans, Sloths, Monkeys, and more! As we learned about the history of the country, the environment, and the animals we drove out to jungle hike to see tons more animals. Next was a fabulous lunch on the river. Then we started on our river boat tour. You will see so many animals! We must have seen over 30 crocodiles. Tons of monkeys, lots of different birds. You will be treated the absolute best and see the best of Costa Rica!

Book with Aron Big Papi!! - I books with Aron the Big Papi. First of all He’s the coolest Teddy Bear on the beach! Period. I went on a fishing trip that included,seeing whales, dolphins, procreating sea turtles, sting rays, Monkey Island(can’t remember the exact name) and a great time in general. I stayed at Planet Hollywood and he was on the black sand beach there. YOU CAN TRUST HIM!! He was there every day. Gave him a deposit one day and came back at our scheduled time and our fishing boat was ready to go! Oh, and we caught a tuna. A Bonita 😘
