5.00We had a really great tour with our guide Emanuel. We started with an ascent through the national park in Cahuita. There Emanuel (Ema) was able to discover some interesting animals and show us. Then we took the shuttle to the village of Bri-Bri. Here, in addition to a very delicious lunch, there was a lot to learn about the culture of Bri-Bri. The great day was concluded with a visit to the waterfall (including the possibility to swim there). We can therefore fully recommend the tour to everyone!

5.00100% recommend this day tour! It’s the perfect blend of nature, culture, food, and fun! From start to finish, every moment felt authentic, educational, and full of joy. Our guide, Adrian, was exceptional — incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife, plants, and culture, and clearly passionate about sharing the region's beauty with visitors. His energy and enthusiasm made the day unforgettable. The indigenous Bri-Bri experience was an absolute highlight. Adrian brought the tribe’s traditions to life through his insight and storytelling. Practicing a few words in the Bri-Bri language and learning about their customs and way of life was truly inspiring. And the hands-on experience? Unforgettable! I can now proudly say I made chocolate from scratch, tasted it fresh, and even enjoyed it as a chocolate facial while relaxing by the waterfall. The waterfall itself was breathtaking — a serene, refreshing escape — and the Coco Loco drink was the perfect tropical treat to end the day. Overall, this tour offers an amazing combination of adventure, culture, and relaxation, and Adrian’s guidance takes it to the next level. Don’t miss it — this is a must-do experience in the Caribbean region of Costa Rica
Unforgettable day with Adrian – Nature, Culture & Adventure

5.00We had the chance to join Adrian’s tour today, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica. From the moment we met him, we could tell how passionate he is about sharing both the beauty of nature and the richness of the local culture. We started the day walking through Cahuita National Park, and thanks to Adrian’s sharp eyes and knowledge, we spotted animals we never would have noticed on our own— a sloth with her baby napping in the trees, snakes on leaves and even iguana wandering nearby. He didn’t just point them out, he also explained their behaviors and gave us their history background, which made it feel like we were learning and exploring at the same time. The visit to the Bri-Bri community was equally special. Adrian introduced us with such respect and warmth that we felt truly welcome. Learning about their traditions, especially their use of plants and the ritual of preparing cacao, was fascinating. Tasting fresh cocoa while hearing its cultural meaning was a memory we’ll carry with us. Lunch was another highlight—homemade, traditional food, eaten out of a leaf that was delicious and heartfelt. In the afternoon, we hiked to the Ma-Cu Waterfall. It felt like stepping into a postcard—lush jungle all around, a refreshing pool at the base, and fresh fruit waiting for us. Finishing the day with cold coconut water was the perfect touch. Adrian made the entire experience smooth, personal, and memorable. He has that rare gift of making you feel like you’re exploring with a knowledgeable friend rather than just following a guide. If you’re considering this tour—don’t hesitate. It’s the perfect balance of wildlife, culture, and pure Costa Rican beauty. Thank you, Adrian, for an unforgettable day!

Adrian is very knowledgeable on the wildlife and culture in the area, and seems very excited to share that with visitors. He pointed out wildlife that we would have never seen without him. The indigenous tour was definitely a highlight that Adrian elevates through his knowledge of the tribe.
Memorable day

5.00Adrian offered us these three compact experiences in one day, and all three were exceptional. We were picked up at the hotel in Puerto Viejo. The visit to Cahuita was brief, but very well taken advantage of. The visit to the Bri-Bri population was very pleasant and educational. The explanations about Bri-bri customs and life were very interesting, in general, although the visit is obviously designed for the tourist, I found it very genuine. And why not talk about the elaboration of caco, alone, with sugar and finally with milk (chocolate). You should not let it slip. Finally, the bath at the Ma-Cu Falls, very pleasant, and with surprise... In short, this day was an especially memorable part of our vacation in Costa Rica. Thank you very much, Adrian.
Fantastic day for a family with teens

5.00We have just had an absolutely fabulous day on “Wild, Sweet and Refreshing: A Full-Day Tour to Cahuita, Bri-Bri and Ma-Cu Waterfall”. Adrian was fantastic. We started with a walk through Cahuita National Park, and saw lots of wildlife including quite a few sloths. Adrian was so informative and amazing at spotting things we would have missed (basically almost everything). I found out so much, and although you can do this walk with no guide, I would absolutely recommend doing it with Adrian as it becomes so much more memorable. We then moved onto the Bri-Bri community, which was again brilliant. We experienced the traditional cacao making process and ate some on roasted bananas. We also found out about the traditional ways of life of this indigenous community. The whole experience is really well set out. Some parts were led by the community and some bits by Adrian and it was fun and super interesting. It was finished off by a really tasty traditional lunch. By this point in the day we were all getting very hot and sweaty and so finishing it off at the waterfall was perfect. Some groups (most) had come without swimming costumes, but Adrian had not only prepared us to come with swimming gear, he had brought some of the cacao we had made earlier, and some snacks. He is also an adventurer, and so if you have teenage kids who like a bit of adventure he is 100% the guide you need. He climbed up the rocks of the waterfall and jumped in. My teenage son wanted to try, and Adrian showed him exactly where to put his feet and hands so he could do it safely. Most importantly, had he fallen off, Adrian’s route meant he would have fallen into the water and not onto any rocks. My son LOVED climbing up and jumping in. We all tried the extra cacao mixed with water as face masks (it DOES leave your skin soft), and ate home-made chocolate snacks. Honestly, it was a perfect day, and I would whole heartedly recommend it. Thank you!
An amazing day!

5.00The most incredible day with the most perfect guide! Adrian was great, switching between English and Spanish for us. The BriBri visit was so informative and the lunch was delicious. One of the day’s highlights was the chocolate tasting and then using the cacao paste in the waterfall as a face mask. The chocolate cookies were pretty awesome too. 11/10 and 100% recommend!

5.00We booked thinking we’d be part of a small group and it ended up being just us two! It was a rainy start to the day and that did not matter one bit! Adrian was an excellent guide, spotting so many different types of wildlife and plants/trees while in Cahuita park. He is so incredibly knowledgeable, sharing so many nuggets all throughout the day. The pick up/drop off was easy, and close to where we were staying. Each stop on the tour had its own highlights, and one part of the tour was not better than the other, it was all great!!! When we were at the waterfalls, Adrian and I put clay masks on our faces while we sat and enjoyed our fruit and conversation. Who knew a spa treatment was included?! If you’re on the fence about booking - just book it! You will not be disappointed!!
Wow!! That was a Great Day!!

5.00The highlight and most memorable events of our 6 weeks in Costa Rica was doing this tour with Adrian. Adrian has his own website: traveladriancr.com which gives a detail description of himself and his tours. I wasn’t able to get a response from the email form attached to his website. (For some reason he never received it). I tried his WhatsApp number: 506-7008-3188. He answered immediately and we were able to arrange this tour the next day. He told us where to park our vehicle and his driver picked us up at that location. Throughout the entire tour, our belongings were safe and secure in the vehicle. Absolutely no worries there. The tour was fun, relaxing and extremely informative. Adrian is so in tune with nature’s surroundings. At Cahuita National Park, I would have missed everything if it wasn’t for him. He was happy to take photos with our cameras using his telescopic lens. He’s enthusiastic and passionate to share his knowledge of the Bri Bri tribe and their land. He speaks of their history taking it to current times. There is much to be learnt of how they live and use what nature provides. Making chocolate the old fashion way and savouring a delicious lunch were special. Cooling off and swimming at the waterfalls was welcomed. There is much to be said about this tour. I’ll summarize it as a “Must Do”. At the end of the trip, you walk away saying “Wow! That was a Great Day”. Adrian is your man!
Fun and unique tour

5.00Adrian was very informative and spotted animals on the trail better than the other guides on the trail. He kept the group small which made for a much more relaxing day. The day was full of unique experiences. Highly recommend
