Top Costa Rica Nature and Wildlife Tours

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!

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!

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.

Beautiful experience!! Those 500 steps were so worth it. It’s not bad at all because I’m very active but many people, including one of my best friends, did kind of struggle coming back up. All in all, amazing experience. We were self guided and we just went and enjoyed the waterfall and took photos. The water is ice cold!

The Tortuga Island trip was great. We snorkeled, went on a Banana Boat, and did the island hike in the afternoon, and relaxed on the beach in between. They set up chairs and umbrellas for everyone, which was an added surprise, and the lunch and unlimited margaritas were delicious. We would definitely do this again!

Definitely worth the price. I booked this for two, then found out an hour before the departure time that my boyfriend cheated on me. I broke up with him and went on the boat tour as planned-- it was awesome all by myself! There were probably about 50 people on board, but it felt decently spacious. There are seating options on deck, but also inside if you want to stay out of the sun. We sailed pretty far out from Coco Beach to a smaller beach on a little island. This took about an hour and a half. Then we had the option of taking the dingy to shore or snorkeling. I snorkeled for a bit, but then hung out on the shore for the rest of the time. The open bar is fantastic, the staff were super personable and attentive always asking if they could get you a new beverage. We had a great meal as well!! I would definitely do this experience again as it was beautiful, relaxing, and stress-free; just what I needed.

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!
