Fun and educational tour for family
We had a great time on this tour, our kids had a blast, we saw a lot of animals like otter and capuchin monkeys and young crocodile and boas and Jesus Christ Lizards running on water.... And more! The tour guide Ellias was knowledgeable, friendly, professional. The tour was relaxing yet very interesting, great for people who want to see the jungle but prefer less walking. Highly recommended!

High energy with gorgeous surroundings
High energy excursion in such a beautiful place! Our entire family had a blast - from my 73 year old mom to my 22 year old son. The staff was very accommodating and made sure we were all safe, while still having fun. We got to ride over bridges , splash through puddles, visit a gorgeous waterfall, and ended with a magnificent dinner! Highly recommend this adventure!

Well worth the money
We had an excellent experience on this Manuel Antonio National Park tour. The organizers provided very clear instructions beforehand, including exactly where to park and where to meet the guide. Thanks to their directions, we parked right in front of the park entrance and avoided all the parking scams and confusion outside the park.
They even sent us a photo of our guide, Saul, before the tour, which made it very easy to find him at the meeting point.
Saul was outstanding. He helped us spot an incredible variety of wildlife that we never would have seen on our own. Using his telescope, we were able to get amazing views of sloths, monkeys, birds, and other animals hidden high in the trees. He also helped us take photos through the telescope, which resulted in some of the best wildlife pictures from our trip.
Throughout the tour, Saul shared fascinating information about the animals, plants, and ecosystem of Manuel Antonio National Park. He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and clearly passionate about his work.
This tour greatly enhanced our visit to the park and was absolutely worth the money. We highly recommend it, especially for first-time visitors to Manuel Antonio.

Best experience!!!
The 3 hour ATV tour was our favorite part of our entire trip. It was so much fun and challenging enough to feel adrenaline while riding. However the very best part are the sights you see. Also the tour guides are awesome a friendly. 10/10 would recommend!

A wonderful experience! The wildlife and watersfalls were fascinating!
We were in awe! Costa Rica is a beautiful country. We had a small group, only our family of three and another couple. The pick up from our hotel was prompt and the entire trip very relaxing. Our tour guide started narrating as we drove to the Poaz volcano and La Paz lodge. Everything was green and the weather was great. We made a stop at one of the coffee shops overlooking the mountains. The view was awesome! We also purchased coffee beans from the place where they harvest and roast it. Can't wait to taste it but from my coffee experience in Costa Rica, every coffee I drink is delicious and caffeine level somehow is low that one can drink it at night and still get a good night sleep. We saw wildlife. That was incredible especially the butterfly garden. Stopped at the lodge for a buffet lunch that is included with the tour. After lunch, we took a 40 min walk to the waterfalls which was really fascinating. There as a lot of steps on this tour but it was not too difficult as the pacing is really good. There were many steps going down to the waterfalls. I thought we had to climb back up and that gave me anxiety. Tour guide should have told us that a van will be picking us up at the bottom to return to the lodge. On the way back to our hotel our tour guide knew we were so tired that he did not bother us while we were all dozed off. Overall a wonderful experience!

Such a great time!
We didn’t get to see dolphins but overall the trip was so much fun! The staff made sure everyone was doing good with either music or drinks. We were able to see many fish where they took us when snorkeling. Even the food that was provided was great! Would definitely love to do it again!

Sloth Aplenty
We saw 9 sloths. Two were very active climbing through the trees. Our guide was very good. The tour was right around 2 hours. It was flat terrain and very easy to walk. Would definitely recommend. We saw 3 sloths as soon as we started on the trail. It was a very cool experience.

If I had to do again I would have done the private tour. Our guide Johnny was so knowledgeable and interactive. I really appreciated all his education. Going on a group delays and slows things down so toward the end i got to the point where u wanted to just go off on my own. Johnny was the highlight of our experience.

Very cool experience and...
Very cool experience and very busy, but that didn’t bother us. My 66 year-old mom and I swam at the base of the waterfall. It’s SUPER cold and the water is powerful. There are lifeguards to ensure no one gets hurt. It was worth the business for the experience.

Exceptional Isla Tortuga Experience with Costa Cat and an Unforgettable Crew
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Costa Cat on our excursion to Isla Tortuga. This was hands down one of the highlights of our entire trip to Costa Rica.
From the very beginning, Costa Cat went above and beyond by accommodating us with hotel pickup from Jacó Beach, which made the day completely stress-free. As soon as we stepped on the boat, we were welcomed with delicious breakfast muffins, fresh fruit, and drinks. It was a perfect start to the day. The boat itself was clean, comfortable, and the perfect size for the group, which made the ride enjoyable and not overcrowded.
Once we arrived at Isla Tortuga, the service only got better. The crew was constantly checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. They were attentive without being overbearing. Wilbur and the entire crew were phenomenal and truly made the experience special. Their energy, professionalism, and hospitality stood out the entire day.
The activities included snorkeling and a banana boat ride, both of which were so much fun and well organized. And the lunch, wow. It was honestly one of the best meals we had in Costa Rica. The grilled chicken was incredible, and everything from the slaw to the potatoes and rice was absolutely on point.
Even on the ride back, the crew kept the experience fun and relaxing, ending our day and honestly our trip on the highest note.
One small note for future travelers, the included alcoholic drinks are delicious, but pace yourself. A few guests had a bit too much, and the boat ride back became a little rough for them.
If you’re looking for a full-day excursion, this is the one you need to book. Costa Cat delivers an exceptional experience from start to finish. Highly, highly recommend!

Amazing!
We bought tickets for 4 hours of boating, drinks and snorkeling..this experience went above and beyond our expectations! The open bar made most amazing drinks and quick! With one bartender I wasn't sure but wow! The food- incredible. The snorking was awesome. We went to a clean crystal clear beach where we seen sooo many manterays. Something stung my arm and when I returned to the boat one of the staff got me something on a paper towel that made the marks on my arm disappear. The staff was awesome and even took us to the spots and pointed out all the wildlife - dolphins , sea turtles and more. They were friendly and informative! Can't rave more about this trip! Me and my 3 friends went on many different catermarans(mind my spelling) and we all agreed this one was by far the best! Thank you so much !

ATV/Zip experience
The atv portion was great. I think I was fortunate in only having 4 people in the group. I saw a group of over 10 and it looked like a miserable conga line. The halfway point being a waterfall was a nice surprise.
The zip lining experience was also amazing. Even with it being my first time, the safety instructors gave me the confidence as if it was my hundredth time. 10/10 bonus points for it being a rainstorm prior to speed the wires up!
