ZIP LINE CANOPY TOUR

  We had a brilliant morning exploring Sukia with the lovely Juan. Juan’s expertise & knowledge blew us away & he really stood out as one of the best guides we... read more encountered in Manuel Antonio. His relaxed yet super engaged & passionate style made for the perfect guide.

We saw scarlet macaw couples grooming each other(such an intimate & sweet behaviour). The butterfly house was great & seeing each stage of their life cycles was fascinating. The immense care taken with each chrysalis & pupae was evident when Juan handled them to give us a closer look.

We were impressed with the crocodile, caiman and turtle rescue section & despite the sad stories that have led some of the inhabitants there, felt reassured by the ethics of the current owners and clear dedication to the welfare of all the animals on site.

Highly recommend this unique & memorable experience. Another highlight, we didn’t see any other humans at all :)

Big thank you the awesome Juan, Pura Vida :)

  A group of 8 of us did a night jungle walk through the property with both Juan and Diego. Both of them were super informative and really cool guides for... read more the evening as we walked though the property with flashlights in hand that they supplied. They pointed out interesting frogs, snakes, butterflies, crocodiles, spiders, lizards and other stuff and added cool info about each. Definitely would recommend doing this night tour for anyone interested it some after dark Costa Rica adventures. It was raining that night too but it didn’t matter the tour was still fun.

  We took a tour of Manuel Antonio National Park in the morning, and had a tour reserved here for the afternoon; we were so tired after the morning we almost... read more canceled and I’m so happy we didn’t!! This tour was much better than the national park- we saw WAY more animals (capuchin monkeys up close, howler monkeys, sloths, woodpeckers, macaws, very interesting frogs and insects, lizards, and of course the crocodiles and butterflies after the walk), plus the walk itself felt more authentic and was very beautiful. Our guide Juan was so nice and incredibly knowledgeable. Another plus was that there was no restriction on bringing in snacks, which was a big problem for us in the national park with young kids. Honestly we would have done this instead of the Manuel Antonio National park tour.

  Do not miss the opportunity to visit this fascinating sanctuary of native Costa Rican reptiles, butterflies, assorted plants, wild monkeys and birds. A natural stream runs through the property, providing... read more a ‘green’ solution for the animals. Many are rescues, all cared for by knowledgeable staff.

The butterfly pavilion must be experienced to be believed! Walk among Blue Morphos and other species in their native habitat to observe and learn about breeding, care and preservation.

  Fascinating tour with Juan who is a natural biologist and full of interesting information about the first, its plants and animals.

  We booked a 10am tour with our baby and 3 year old son. We were the only people on the tour and it was fantastic! We saw a sloth, monkeys... read more and lots of other wildlife, then visited the crocodiles and butterflies.
Much quieter and more personal than Manuel Antonio National Park. Highly recommend.

  Our guide Sebastian was very friendly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the animals and insects of Sukia. We went during the day and did not see many animals (a heron, a... read more dart frog, and some lizards) during our hike but we did learn a lot about the ecosystem and thoroughly enjoyed our hike through the property and the waterfall. There's also a beautiful butterfly garden where we got to see them in all life stages, as well as a crocodile, turtle, and black Cayman refuge which was very cool to walk through and learn about. Highly recommend!

  We went on a night jungle tour at Sukia Park. It was a wonderful experience. We saw a lot of wildlife including my favorited red-eyed tree frogs and... read more the blue morpho butterfly in the butterfly sanctuary. Our guides name was Juan. His passion for the animals was so evident. He was SO knowledgeable and he told us that he was going to more training the next weekend. Please considering supporting this fabulous organization!

I highly recommend this experience for adults and... read more children.the setting is in the lush jungle and Diego will gladly answer any questions you might have.
