    We had a perfect weather day and our driver Harlin and guide Marco were fired up with excitement! This has been one of the best days ever on our 15 day trip to San Jose Costa Rica! La Paz Waterfalls Gardens is spectacular and there’s nothing touristy about this experience. The infrastructure they built here is amazing and leverages the natural environment of these rainforest waterfalls. This tour is worth it!

    Not a half day!DO NOT...
    valentine_J, Feb 2024
    Not a half day!DO NOT BOOK if you have a flight during the afternoon or the evening or any activities.You will be back only around 7 pm at your hotel in town center.Very bad organisation with pick up at 10.40 am and then you have to wait 1h30 in a souvenir shop for the group who did the volcano the morning to join the groupe so you go inside the garden only around 1.30-2 pm.I do not recommend this tour
    Response from Host, Feb 2024
    Dear Customer, We are very sorry for your inconvenience, we understand that this tour is a great advantage if you plan to take your night flight, but we always advise our clients to calculate well the arrival time, this tour has an approximate duration of 7 hours. Pick up time starts at 10:00 a.m. as stated in the itinerary, pick up time starts in the east of the city, if you are located in the west, as in your case, it is normal for us to pick up at 10:40 a.m., however you were the last pick up. The return time in San Jose, was at 18:25, we met the itinerary as scheduled. Best regards,
    Don’t Use this company!

    La Paz waterfall gardens is beautiful and I highly recommend it. Our guide Jonathan was great as well. It was the tour company that we booked with that we don’t recommend. Originally we were supposed to be picked up at 9 AM at our hotel, but the night before we got an email saying the pick up would be at 10:20AM. After not seeing a tour bus, I called twice and still no answer. I finally get a call at about 11:20 AM telling me that we will be picked up by an Uber to go to a different location. Fast-forward, we did not start the tour to the park until 12 noon. We entered at approximately 1:30 PM and we did everything in fast-forward mode since we had to be out of there by 4 PM. As a result of us getting back to our hotel late, I had to cancel my husband’s birthday reservations for 6 PM. It was his actual birthday, and it ruined the plans.

    Dear Iliana, We are very sorry for what happened, we recognize that it was a mistake of our subcontracted company Expediciones Tropicales. Since the companions confirmed the tour but the guide did not do the management correctly, so the tour in general was delayed and because of this they had to solve the problem. We know that punctuality and seriousness are important, and it is something for which we have always been characterized, however your comments help us to improve and make the best decisions to trust our customers. In this case we are taking the necessary steps to address the case and we will reimburse or partially compensate your reservation. Best regards,
    Excellent Garden Tour
    Dorothy_J, Feb 2020
    The Garden was a memorable experience. We enjoyed a comfortable and informative automobile drive from San Jose to La Paz (and back) with our tour guide Jean (Jon). There was a steady fresh rain that fell while we walked about in La Paz Waterfalls Garden which provided a true feeling of being present in the rain forest . Standing among the Humming birds was a highlight. The Falls were incredible as was all the beautiful flora and fauna throughout. Jon guided us through the gardens and was able to answer all our questions and point things out that we otherwise would have missed. The buffet was wonderful. Our guide employed a smart travel strategy by starting the day early and getting back to San Jose before the traffic rush period. As a consequence we had time in the afternoon to enjoy the fabulous National Museum in San Jose which our guide was kind enough to drop us off at.

    半日で 効率よく コスタリカの 自然、 動物 、植物を 見て回れる ように よく出来た ツアーで とても満足でした。 ホテル送迎が 朝 10:30 ホテル ピックアップ。 帰りは 現地を16:00 出発し サンホセ 市内に向かう途中 交通渋滞もあり、 数カ所の ホテルにて ツアー参加者を降ろし 我々のホテルに 到着したのが 18:00 でした。 この半日ツアーは 移動時間を含まない想定で ツアー後の 予定を立ててください。
