Seat relax and enjoy! See Our RoutesI was very glad we booked this guided tour. The park was beautiful, and the rain forest amazing, however we would have missed almost every bit of wildlife if it hadn't of been for our guide. He knew just where to look to find howler monkeys, bats, tarantulas, leaf cutter ants, different flora, and even spotted a fer-de-lance that we had ALL walked by. Diego's English was outstanding, and his knowledge of the forest, as well as the volcano was impressive. Warning about the waterfall, the path down is easy, but the hike up was a little challenging. I think it is approximately 500 steep steps back to the top. It was well worth it. The final hike was pretty devoid of wildlife, as it's mostly lava rock and low growth forest, but the scenery was beautiful and his explanation of the eruptions and geology made the hike great. This is an all day tour.. 8am to 5pm with a lunch break in the middle. This did allow us to see several sloths, toucans and some spider monkeys as we went back and forth to the different sites. Diego once again came through and was constantly scanning the road side to find what we came to see.
The combo tour was fantastic. The guide, Jose, was extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, plants, birds, Costan Rican history and geography, and a whole lot more. It was a long day, but an extremely fun day, and the food was excellent. I highly recommend the combo tour!.
We had such a wonderful time ziplining and horseback riding. Adrian accompanied us with the horseback riding and was the most amazing tour guide. He gave us a background about Costa Rica and took us to see the view of the Arenal Volcano. Then we went ziplining with Adrian and Yulian and they were super nice and comforting. The ziplining is perfect for couples and families!!! Two in one and it was so much fun and soooooo affordable. They even had fresh fruit for us after the activities. Such kind people!!
Jacamar Naturalist Tours is a Costa Rican company dedicated to promote and operate different tourist services in Costa Rica, such as tours or excursions, guiding group services, transportation, specialized lectures and other related services.
Our headquarters are located in La Fortuna de San Carlos, North Guanacaste, and Jaco but we also count with satellite offices in some other regions of the country.
Our main costumers are agencies and hotels around the country. The goal of JNT is to offer a personalized service of high quality, where we inmerse our clients in memorable experiences where besides enjoy, we build up awareness about the conservation of natural resources.
Our company has been dedicated since its inception to teach the natural wonders of our country; and always trying to provide valuable information to our costumes, about the natural history of every plant and animal that we see on our tours. But over time we have been given the task of showing a little more about our culture and how Costa Ricans live and work, especially in rural areas, where it is listed that life is a little quieter, but also harder.
All those who work in the company, we consider important and even necessary, to teach our customers how we live in Costa Rica, because of this we have added several attractions and values to some of our tours, to be a complete experience for visitors.
The cultural heritage that these activities offers, strengthen us as a company, and even more as human beings, because it reminds us where we came from and mostly that we need to preserve good values in order to develop as a better society. We have incorporated visits to small family businesses to support these families, the community and entrepreneurship of it.
