 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 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.

 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.

 Verified 100% Recommend Sensoria!!
September 3, 2026, The views, hikes, waterfalls and especially the learning experience and getting to connect and be more educated on Costa Ricas rainforests and geographic / ecological ecosystems made this trip memorable and beautiful as well as unique. Learning about the environment of Costa Rica is like no other place on Earth and Sensoria definitely highlights these elements. The hot springs and waterfalls were amazing and the rain Falling in the forest as you hike was magical. Joaquin was an amazing guide and gave so much insight to the nature in Sensoria especially with the animals and plants. It was amazing to be one with nature especially with Joaquin, he is such an amazing speaker and was so passionate and insightful. The lunch was amazing too. Pablo was an excellent driver and made the ride safe and comfortable. We would definitely come back to Sensoria such a wonderful experience. Thank You! - The Asrafally Family.

 Verified Wonderful hike with great waterfalls
The park the waterfalls everything is pretty amazing the drive here pretty bumpy lots of potholes and the hike is probably at least 2 1/2 miles to the first waterfall with lots of stairs up and down some pretty steep so make sure you’re in decent physical condition the waterfalls were amazing two out of three you can swim in, which felt awesome. After hiking in the jungle. I would recommend it just be prepared for the drive.
