We had an amazing two days with Carlos from Osa Green/Escapades tropicales in Corcovado National Park. He knows all the inhabitants of the forest and can imitate most birdsong. He... read more is a great spotter who never let go until he reaches his goal.
He also is a great digiscopper, making unique photos and videos on our phones .

The transportation to and from the Park went smoothly by boat. The accommodation and food were simple, yet comfortable, luxurious after a day on the trail. Madeleine L.

  We had a great and interesting experience taking the 2-day tour into Corcovado, coming in by boat and hiking out towards Los Patos where we were picked up by car.... read more Our guide Carolina was lovely and it was insightful talking to her not only about wildlife and flora in the area, but also about Costa Rican history and current sociopolitical issues, which gave us a glimpse into Costa Rican lives we normally wouldn’t have had. We saw a lot of different animals around the station. We definitely recommend the longer hike. The heat was quite taxing for us, but the terrain was not particularly complicated and Carolina took good care of us and helped us with river crossings and avoiding wild pigs. 🙂 The overnight stay at Sirena station was nice and the food was very good. It would be great to mention that it is allowed for hikers who do the longer hikes to bring power bars etc. into the station, despite the general food and plastic ban. Thank you, Carolina!

  We did the 2 days, 1 night sleepover in Sirena ranger station. A boat in and a hike out. Our guide could be more engaged and could definitely work on... read more acquiring more knowledge and experience of the Corcovado. She was cautious which was needed for safety but got the feeling that she was a bit unmotivated. The first day in the tour was the best as we had time to stop and stare different creatures. The second day, 20km hike in 35 Celsius was VERY tough. Wouldn’t repeat that. If you have the choice I would advice boat in and boat out so you spend more qualitative time. 2 stars.

  I did a boat and walking tour to Sirena Ranger Station. The tour exceeded my expectations. Although the tour was expensive it was worth it. We saw... read more a lot of wildlife. We saw 3 sloths, many monkeys and birds, a large tapir and its baby, agouti, coatis and a caiman. From the boat we saw dolphins and humpback whales. The boat waited for 10-15 minutes so we could observe. My guide was Kerley and I was with 6 other people. Kerley was an excellent guide, he was very knowledgeable and patient. He had studied at university for 6 years to be a qualified guide. Cindy booked the tour for me and she was very efficient and quick. I tried to book the tour with 2 other companies but they were very disorganised and never managed to book me onto a tour even though I was flexible with dates. My tour did not include lunch but I was able to buy a cooked lunch for about $12. The lunch was very good and a large portion. You do not need to wear trousers. Most of my group including me wore shorts. I used repellent and was not bitten. It is best to wear trainers. It is also good to bring another pair of sandals that can get wet for when you leave/get on the boat. Getting off the boat was sand but getting back on there were pebbles so uncomfortable without sandals, obviously it depends on the tide that day. There are flush toilets when you arrive and at the station. You can also refill water bottles.
Thank you very much Kerley and Cindy. Great memories. 🙂

  We booked a two-day tour visiting Corcovado National Park, with an intermediate/high level of physical activity (~35 km hiking in two days) for five people. The activities, tour guide, and... read more lodge/food excelled our expectations.

We contacted different travel companies, and Osa Green offered us the tour that best fit our needs. It included a boat ride and hiking in a primary and secondary forest along the beach and rivers around La Sirena, La Leona, and Carate. We had the good luck of observing many different animals, including monkeys, terrestrial mammals, birds, and even dolphins. We hiked in contrasting landscapes, crossed rivers, saw the sunrise in a lagoon, and had lunch at a beautiful waterfall. We never imagined seeing and learning so much in just only two days!!

The guide can significantly affect the tour and park experience. Our guide was Carolina, a cheerful and easy-going person, who transmitted to all of us her love and respect for nature and the Osa peninsula. Furthermore, she was very patient and prepared for answering all our questions (and we had thousands since we study/work in activities related to biological sciences). Whenever we saw something interesting, we would make a stop to take the time to observe it, and she will explain it to us, but at the same time, she made us keep pace to finish the hike. She knew plenty about mammals, birds, plant species, ecology, and environmental conservation. Carolina made our experience incredible.

We booked our tour very few days in advance in high season, and La Sirena Station was full. So Osa Green offered us to sleep in Carate, next to Corcovado, in a lodge owned by local people from the peninsula (Manuel). The lodge was modest, but the beds were very comfortable and clean, the same as the bathrooms and dinner area. We were served delicious food by Manuel’s family, hearing stories about the park and the region. The next day, Manuel even took us to a fully ecological school built in bamboo, with solar electricity and a system to collect rainwater. Sleeping in the jungle and waking up with the howling monkeys and birds was incredible.

We highly recommend Osa Green and believe they will offer the tour that best fits your needs!

  After visiting Corcovado I had some free time and picked the Tarzan Swing in Golfito. It was an amazing experience! Golfito is only a 30 min boat ride from Puerto... read more Jimenez, but definitely a place worth seeing. From the Swing, you have a spectacular view 300m over the endless blue toned Golfo Dulce and the small island full of primary rainforest. The Swing itself is not physically exhausting (like canyoning) and you can repeat the Swing as many times as you want, to get the perfect photo. It is very high though, so you sure get a fresh portion of adrenaline. On our drive down our guide, Fernando even showed us a sloth in a tree right above us. I warmly recommend this tour if you have some free time, want to take breathtaking photos and don’t want to do a physically exhausting activity.

  I can not recommend this company enough. Cindy was great, she gave us some great advice and we booked a day and night trip into the jungle and a... read more boat trip. She matched us up with some lovely guides. Gerson our guide for the day and night trip was amazing, really passionate and knowledgeable about the environment. Jairo took us by boat around the Gulfo Dulce and we saw some cool stuff. Two of the best days of our vacation!!

  During September of 2022, my spouse and I, along with our two daughters, their spouses, and our two grandchildren visited the Osa Península in Southwestern Costa Rica. Osa Green Travel... read more handled a major part of our trip. The owner, Cindy Boulanger, speaks fluent French, English, and Spanish. She was always available (via WhatsApp – text or phone) to answer any questions we had concerning our itinerary and responded promptly to each one.

She handled our reservations for a wonderful eco-lodge (La Tarde), arranged a van with driver, and set us up with an excellent guide, Gerson Cedeño Sequeira. Gerson was outstanding. His knowledge of Osa wildlife was amazing and he was extremely personable. We continue to remain in contact with him. Cindy also organized a whale-watching adventure that she scheduled to do during our return trip to Puerto Jiménez. The timing was perfect.

Finally, she recommended and gave us contact numbers for a hotel in San Jose and a hotel in Puerto Jiménez. We made both booking ourselves and had no difficulty doing so. They were perfect for our needs.

This was by far our best trip to Costa Rica. We highly recommend Osa Green Travel and plan to use them again in the near future.

  The rainforest of the Osa Peninsula has something magical that I haven’t experienced anywhere else. I did a hike outside Corcovado National Park in the middle of the dense tropical... read more forest. From the first moment, I started connecting with nature in this peaceful environment. I was so impressed with the dimension of some giant centenary trees and the diversity of the vegetation. My guide Gerson had an incredible eye and flair for locating exciting sights, from colorful insects to birds and mammals. The great thing about taking this tour during the rainy season was that we hadn’t encountered any other people during the tour. I would recommend it to any nature lover.

  I took a 3-day tour in Sirena with my husband, and we had the most amazing time with our guide from Osa Green Travel. Our guide was knowledgeable; he knew... read more everything about the environment surrounding us, nature, and animals. Sirena is a natural paradise for animal lovers like us. We saw dozens of bird species, tons of insects, reptiles and amphibians, and several mammals, including the tapir and the puma! The food in Sirena station is so good, all the staff very friendly, and the beds are super comfy. We will be back! Now that we have experienced the incredible wildlife of Sirena, we want to try the long hikes from La Leona and maybe up to Los Patos.

  Kerley was my guide for the one-day-Sirena tour on august 1st 2022 and I loved it.
He as a very sharped eye which allowed us to see animals other... read more groups didn’t see or saw after us (owl, monkeys, manakin). Being quiet was important to see more fauna that’s why he was careful about being first on the trails moreover we could ask questions at any time and Kerley would gladly answer them with many details. Kerley also took time to take very good picture and videos through his binocular the with our phones. Only one regret, it was too short!

  This trip was our best holiday’s memory. We are lucky my daughter and me were with Melvin, the most famous guide of Costa Rica realy. We learnt a lots of... read more pedagogical informations about birds, frogs, mammals and wild Life. Without forgotten plants and ecosystemics schedules. This journey with melvin will stay in our memory !! Thanks you osa green travel for the quality of your tour, your disponibility ans your solutions. Thanks again Melvin!!!

  Chocolate Permaculture Tour

Cacao does NOT have to grow in a single crop plantation. In fact it can be grown sustainably alongside many other crops used for food, medicine... read more and building materials. This was just the beginning of the many lessons I learned from German (Herman) on my tour of this unique family farm. My individual, permaculture tour was tailored especially for me by Cindy at Osa Green. And for two hours, I watched and listened in awe, as German described the uses of dozens of plants to cure and prevent many illnesses. I observed the ways in which plants were intercropped, fertilized and mulched to prevent disease and increase the yield. Shade and water were regulated according to the needs of plants. I even learned about ways that water was stored near plants for the dry (relatively speaking) season. German’s charming three-year-old granddaughter tagged along sucking on cacao seeds, which had a sweet/sour capsule when fresh, demonstrating her own knowledge of the farm. Another group arrived for the chocolate tour, so I was able to participate in the making of chocolate, meet other members of the family and enjoy fresh-picked fruit. I marveled at how such a small farm could produce so many useful plants organically and in an absolutely beautiful settling.

I highly recommend that you ask Cindy to set up a tour that caters to your interests. There is a lot to learn here!

  We had two wonderful days in Corcovado. Kerley is an amazing guide. He was so friendly with our kids and found really more animals that we expected.

  Haven't got enough praise to sing this company, from the get go Cindy was an absolute star helping me organise a 2 day overnight trip into Corcovado (with very little... read more notice) she went above and beyond every step of the way, helping me with the admin needed for the rangers and providing solutions for my financial difficulties (there is no atm in Drake Bay)

On top of all that the trip itself was by far the highlight of my time in Costa Rica, the park was unreal and my guide Kurley was an absolute legend, His love for nature and the park itself was evident from the get go, if there was something kurley didn't know it was not worth knowing, during my time in Corcovado our small group was always the first to leave the station and last ones to return, he consistantlly knew exactly where to look for animals and was always pointing other guides in the right direction. I compelted (nearly) all of my wildlife bucket list during my time with Kurley, including Tapirs, Pecaries, Coatis, all 4 species of monkeys, Caimans, Crocodiles, Boa, Fer De Lance Viper, more birds than it's possible to keep track of and unbelievably Kurley even found us a puma!!!

Don't think twice when it comes to booking a Corcovado Expedition with Osa Green Travel, it will be the best thing you do in Costa Rica.

We saw all kinds of wildlife (tapirs, macaws, frogs, and even a snake), our guide Pablo was incredibly good at spotting the animals, and he taught us so much! I would really recommend a visit to the park if you get the chance.

  We enjoyed two outstanding experiences coordinated through Osa Green Travel - their Corcovado NP one-day tour and their ziplining experience. Both were led by guides who were friendly, risk-management minded,... read more and very knowledgeable. My daughters (and my wife and I) had many questions - and our guides patiently and expertly answered each. We saw so many amazing animals and plants in the rainforest, and had such a great time ziplining. Cindy answered all of my questions ahead of time in a professional, timely manner, and Carlos, Moises, and Mikal were true pros in the field. We would unhesitatingly recommend Osa Green and would love to go back!
