Good to Go with Tony and Company
Costa Rica Zone Adventures的点评
点评：In a nutshell, I’d use Tony and company again.
Tony is a gifted communicator / salesman in the best spirit of P.T. Barnum. His “office” is located under a tree on the beach at El Mangroove Resort. He accepts credit cards via contactless pay. I suspect you might catch him in a good mood and try to haggle for a discount — if you’re that type of tourist — I’m not.
We selected a “Sloth/Waterfall” tour for $450 for two, van transportation to a small, family-owned reserve called “Jungle Life Costa Rica” near Tenorio volcano. (98% sure on the name as there are numerous family-owned reserves in the area. Look them up for their positive reviews on TripAdvisor as well.)
I did not think to ask how many other people would be with us, so VERY HAPPY that it was just the two of us. We left the hotel at 7:30 am. Our wonderful driver was bilingual and affable. He’s a freelancer as are most of these driver/guides in the region. We greatly enjoyed his knowledgeable banter. On the way to the reserve he stopped randomly along the road, helping us to view howler monkeys as well as crocodiles.
The first planned stop was at a little waterfall, a tiny bit of a steep hike on slanted steps with a rope handrail to guide you. It was around 9:30 am at this point, so only a few folks in the water. Swim if you like, a lifeguard is watching. The waterfall admission is include in Tony’s fee.
The Sloth reserve itself is on the edge of a national park. It’s a sweet family rainforest with walkable gravel paths meandering through a dense “jungle.” You are not on safari in uncharted territory. Think petting zoo minus the petting, or Florida alligator farm definitely minus the petting, or mini San Diego wild-animal park minus the barriers and you’ll be fine and dandy. I suspect you’re “guaranteed” to see some wildlife
The sloth tour takes about an hour and our driver/guide stayed with us most of the time. He was every bit as knowledgeable as the reserve guide. You are not IN the National park, but on privately-owned land on the edge. As reference, Jungle Life charges $25 per person per their website which Tony prepaid as part of the $450.
Our driver/guide arranged for lunch at La Granja restaurant connected to the reserve, a VERY TASTY meal with a beautiful panorama view of the park region. Again, the price of the lunch plus tip was included in Tony’s fee. The view… priceless.
On the return, a stop at a local souvenir shop / market was allowed.
All in all, it was a solid experience, safe, comfortable, and all inclusive. We tipped the reserve guide, and driver/guide.
Doing the math, we paid $225 per person for a private air-condition van, guide/driver, waterfall swim, sloth reserve, lunch, and a “get-to-know-the region-road-trip” for first timers to Costa Rica.
Area: Bijagua, Upala, Costa Rica
Guide: Eithel
Cost: $450 for two
Time: 7:30 am to 2:00 pm

翻译：简而言之，我会再次使用 Tony 和他的公司。
Tony 是一位天才的沟通者/推销员，具有 P.T. Barnum 的最佳精神。他的“办公室”位于 El Mangroove Resort 海滩的一棵树下。他接受通过非接触式支付的信用卡。我猜你可能会看到他心情很好，并试图讨价还价以获得折扣——如果你是那种类型的游客——我不是。
我们选择了“树懒/瀑布”之旅，两人 450 美元，乘坐面包车前往 Tenorio 火山附近一个名为“哥斯达黎加丛林生活”的小型家庭保护区。（98% 确定这个名字，因为该地区有许多家庭保护区。在 TripAdvisor 上查找它们的正面评价。）
我没有想到要问会有多少人与我们同行，所以非常高兴只有我们两个人。我们早上 7:30 离开酒店。我们出色的司机会说两种语言，而且和蔼可亲。他和该地区的大多数司机/导游一样，都是自由职业者。我们非常喜欢他知识渊博的闲聊。在前往保护区的路上，他随机在路边停下来，帮助我们观赏吼猴和鳄鱼。
第一个计划停留的地方是一个小瀑布，沿着倾斜的台阶走上去有点陡峭，有绳索扶手引导你。当时大约是上午 9:30，所以只有几个人在水里。如果你喜欢游泳，可以去游泳，救生员会看着你。瀑布门票包含在托尼的费用中。
树懒保护区本身位于国家公园的边缘。这是一片温馨的家庭雨林，有可步行的碎石路蜿蜒穿过茂密的“丛林”。你不是在未知的领域进行狩猎。想象一下没有抚摸的动物园，或者绝对没有抚摸的佛罗里达鳄鱼农场，或者没有栅栏的迷你圣地亚哥野生动物园，你都会感觉很棒。我想你“保证”会看到一些野生动物
树懒之旅大约需要一个小时，我们的司机/导游大部分时间都和我们在一起。他和保护区导游一样知识渊博。你不是在国家公园里，而是在边缘的私人土地上。作为参考，丛林生活在他们的网站上收取每人 25 美元的费用，托尼预付了 450 美元的一部分。
我们的司机/导游安排在保护区附近的 La Granja 餐厅享用午餐，一顿非常美味的饭菜，可以欣赏到公园地区的美丽全景。同样，午餐的价格加上小费都包含在托尼的费用中。风景……无价之宝。
回程时，允许在当地纪念品商店/市场停留。
总而言之，这是一次不错的体验，安全、舒适、全包。我们给了预订导游和司机/导游小费。
算一下，我们每人支付 225 美元，包括一辆私人空调面包车、导游/司机、瀑布游泳、树懒保护区、午餐，以及第一次来哥斯达黎加的“了解该地区的公路旅行”。
