Great guide! Newfound respect for nature!
Joyce_L
, Apr 2021
We had an extraordinary experience with Minor, our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the flora and fauna but also fully committed to conservation, which we deeply appreciated. We felt that his approach was all about respecting nature and taking only photos and leaving only footprints. It was non-exploitative and fully educational. Because of the pandemic, we were the only ones on the tour, so we in essence received a private tour for our family of 3. Very COVID safe.
We gained a new respect for the environment. Minor was also warm, personable and conscientious. Definitely one of the highlights of our Costa Rica trip and highly, highly recommended to families!

Absolutely fantastic experience!

This tour is absolutely worth it! This is my second time to Costa Rica and I’m so glad I booked this tour. The guide was funny, knowledgeable and very much knew what he was doing. He was engaging and played some pranks on my boyfriend so I was happy! Lol! The caves were incredible. The small crevices to crawl through were cool. I’ve explored many caves and I’ll say this was completely worth it for both of us. It was very wet but that made it all the more fun.

Great Guides, No GoPro promised package
Michele J
, Sep 2019
The driver Miguel and guide Victor were professional and kind. I chose this particular tour ($20/person more than others offered) due to the advertised GoPro picture and video package. It would have allowed us to capture our adventure without worrying about carrying my phone. The intense rain made the cave a small river with sand and muddy surfaces. Though a great adventure, we unfortunately were unable to capture the memories. I have emailed the tour director EcoTerra as the guide and driver recommended (same email they confirmed my hotel information with), and have not yet heard back. I am hoping they make this right by refunding my 60$ extra I paid for pictures/video and the promised hiking boots that we never received
Response from Host , Oct 2019
Hello Michelle, greetings from Ecoterra Expeditions!
We hope you are doing well. First, we would like to apologize for this inconvenience, normally our tour guide takes photos all along the tour with a waterproof camera that we provide; however, it seems that they did not carry the camera with them that particular day. Either way, we are very sorry that this happened, we will be happy to refund the cost of the pictures. Please contact Trip Advisor Customer Service (Viator) so they can guide you through this process.
Any additional request, do not hesitate to contact us (reservas@ecoterracostarica.com), we will be happy to assist you.

This is for those that like a challenge or like to challenge their fears. I had to face my closterphobia with the tunnels, some with very small openings. Also if you have squeezy around spiders, you will have to be brave. You will get wet, muddy and aphysical workout. I am a 45 YO old woman who struggles with weight, but made it. My 9 YO handled it like a champ.

The cave is very beautiful and is definitely an exotic experience. Even though the website says the tour is 4 hour long, the actual cave exploration is only a little over an hour. The transportation takes like two and a half hours. We wished to stay in the cave longer. The tour felt very rushed towards the end.

Tour of the caves was amazing. We couldn't take our Camera because of the moisture and we didn't have a water proof camera. THE guide Brandon said he would email the pics that night that he took so we didnt need tonworry, but it's been 4 nights and no email. I called and left a message but nope! Sad
