 Verified Stunning Rainforest Experience
Everything about this tour was fantastic! Our driver, Pablo, was prompt and friendly. He was a great guide on the 3.5-hour (each way!) drive, stopping for wildlife viewing and coffee & treats from a local bakery. The Sensoria property is absolutely stunning. Immaculate bathroom/changing/shower area. Beautiful dining room, with an excellent lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with our guide, Joaquin, who was a wealth of knowledge. The thermal pools were AMAZING. We are so glad we did this excursion from our resort and would highly recommend a visit to Sensoria.

 Verified Absolutely Amazing Experience!
We had such an amazing time on this excursion! The hike and waterfalls were absolutely beautiful and truly one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica. Our guide was incredible—extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. He was very cautious and caring throughout the entire hike, always making sure everyone was comfortable and safe while still allowing us to fully enjoy the experience. His knowledge of the area made the excursion even more special. The waterfalls were breathtaking, and we absolutely loved being able to experience them up close. Lunch afterward was amazing as well, and everyone we encountered was so welcoming, knowledgeable, and friendly. From beginning to end, this was a fantastic experience. We had an amazing time and would absolutely recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Costa Rica. Definitely a 5-star experience and one we will always remember!

 Verified Team Building at Sensoria
We visited as a corporate Team Building activity. Primary rainforest. It is 90 minutes from Liberia. The transport vehicle was very comfortable. A stop is made at a local bakery where they poured us coffee and sold us freshly made bread. We saw agoutis, snakes, and many birds, including a white hawk. The tour is very safe, the trails are well-maintained, and the guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. Special recognition to Pablo and Jorge for their great knowledge and service attitude. At the end of the tour, we had the opportunity to bathe in thermo-mineral waters and relax with a drink. The homemade lunch was very delicious. The flavor of the beans and very good seasoning. 100% Recommended.

Joaquin and the Cicada made our connection to tropical rainforest one we will always remember. The forest enveloped us with warm rain, song from the creatures and amazing waters of nature. The team was exceptional, the food was so delicious. We never once felt rushed the time in each area was perfect. If you want to have a true Tropical Rainforest experience don't hesitate just book. Nature will take care of the rest. Land of senses is the perfect description. Thank you for offering such an amazing invitation to connect to this beautiful ecosystem. We are better because of this experience.

 Verified Hike and waterfalls
We had an amazing driver from our hotel. We stopped at a small cafe where we enjoyed delicious coffee and fresh made bakery items which were delicious as well. We really enjoyed our guide Joaquin. He was amazing! He is so passionate and knowledgeable. Our favorite part was being able to swim by the waterfalls. The only disappointing part were the roads. There were so many pot holes so the ride was very bumpy for about 20 minutes up to where the tour began.
