The superman make us feel like we were birds. The Tarzan rope was so cool and everyone really liked it even if it was outside of our comfort zone. We recommend for everyone older than 12 yo or seeking great sensations”

“The tour of the national park was a wonderful experience. We were so excited to see unusual animals, like a tapir and coati, besides sloth and many different birds. Because this is natural, not a zoo, we felt very fortunate. The tram ride thru the canopy was lovely. We got to see different levels of the eco system. The zipline was fast and exciting, including one of the longest lines in the country! My only criticism was the that the drive host and driver only engaged occasionally with our small group. Neither described scenery or location info. The driver made me feel uneasy during the extremely foggy and wet weather…”

For starters, the start of the day was supposed to be at 8am, but we weren't picked up until 8:30am. It was a one-hour drive from our pickup spot in downtown La Fortuna to the main meetup point. Our driver was noticeably sick (coughing up phlegm and sneezing constantly), yet didn't bother to put a mask on or roll down the van windows. Secondly, we arrived at the meetup…”
