Great Tour with Mainor
First off, Mainor was our driver and guide and he was phenomenal. Very informative, answered every random question, funny and tells you more about the country on the way there. Few things: if you're coming from Pinilla it's at least a 2 hr drive to get to thess excursions, so be prepared (we brought a granola bar). There is a midway stop for bathroom break/mini store. The Volcano/Waterfall hike was beautiful. Mainor told us about the different types of trees and leaves. We saw a snake and ant eater. The waterfall is breathtaking and beautiful views at the bottom and seeing it go into a river, BUT Pre warning ⚠️ going back up, take it slow. It's many steps and you'll see that going down, so remember you have to do them coming back up and you're at a higher elevation. I'm 25 weeks pregnant, I completed it but definitely had to make a few stops going back up (light headed and deep breaths). Gatorade was my friend, lol (I purchased at the mini store, thank God). Lunch was delicious. He'll call before arriving to the restaurant so it's not a long wait, he'll let you know the options. We had steak and fish. Next is the Sloth farm. We saw 3 (2 adults and a little one). You do get an additional guide for the sloths, so please bring gratuity for that guide. Very nice young man and he knew where to look for them. He even took pictures for us. On the way back, you do get to stop at the same restaurant break and check out there gift shop. They have a lot of items, descent prices. Plus the restaurant there had good food ( we grabbed dinner before heading back to our resort Hacienda Pinilla) Highly recommend this tour. They did a great job!
Response from the operator: Hi, I'm Rosbin from sevensensecostarica. Thank you so much for leaving us such a nice comment. We're very happy that you enjoyed all the activities you did with us and one of our star guides maino.

Family Adventure Day
Booking and coordinating with Rosbin and Seven Sense Costa Rica was truly a breeze. He went above and beyond to make sure our family had a day full of adventure, fun, and memory-making. We learned so much about the local culture, wildlife, and landscape while touring and riding with Rosbin. If you are anywhere near Guanacaste, CR I couldn't recommend this tour company enough! You will not regret booking any of the offered tours 😉
Response from the operator: for me it was a pleasure to serve you and show your family the beauties of my country,Pura Vida 💛

Another great trip
We booked our tour with seven sense costa rica. The guide, Rosbin is awesome. He is very knowledgeable and very professional. We book all of our excursions through him for a great price and great time. He knows all of the best people, and even put together a custom package for us. Seven sense is the best!

Rio Celeste Waterfalls Volcano and Sloths: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Hermosa.
How much does Rio Celeste Waterfalls Volcano and Sloths cost?
+
Prices start at $185 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa Hermosa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rio Celeste Waterfalls Volcano and Sloths take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Playa Hermosa is not rushed.
Is Rio Celeste Waterfalls Volcano and Sloths worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa Hermosa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rio Celeste Waterfalls Volcano and Sloths?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rio Celeste Waterfalls Volcano and Sloths suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rio Celeste Waterfalls Volcano and Sloths?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Playa Hermosa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Playa Hermosa and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rio Celeste Waterfalls Volcano and Sloths start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Playa Hermosa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Playa Hermosa?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa Hermosa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include La Leona waterfall adventure hike half day, White Water River Rafting Class III-IV from La Fortuna-Arenal, Guachipelin Zipline, River Tubing, Horseback Ride, Hot springs & Lunch Combo. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Playa Hermosa?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Playa Hermosa?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Rio Celeste Waterfalls Volcano and Sloths?
+
Included: Bilingual guide; Lunch; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Bottled water. Not included: Gratuities; and Bring a photo or copy of your passport. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
