What are people saying about Costa Rica

Don Olivo Chocolate Tour

Mia_M, Apr 2026

Sweet and informative!

Truly feel like I underpaid for this. Such a wonderful experience, especially for my fiancée who works with chocolate and pastries so she loved getting to see the process of how the cacao that she gets is made :) our guide was wonderful and explained so much of the history, culture, and the science behind the farm. We got to try soooo much fresh fruit and some fresh cacao and chocolate. It’s a small local family farm so you’re supporting a small business rather than a corporation. 100000/10.

Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Tour

Luis was an excellent guide—very knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife. Thanks to him, we were able to see many sloths, which was the main reason we came here, and it truly exceeded our expectations. We did a private tour. If your budget allows, I highly recommend going private for a more personalized experience.

Manuel Antonio Park Nature Guided Tour with a Nature Specialist

Denny_L, Apr 2026

Incredible Tour with Havier

We had an amazing experience at Manuel Antonio Park with Havier. As a nature specialist, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly patient in answering all our questions. Thanks to his expert eyes, we spotted many animals we never would have seen on our own. He made our first trip to Costa Rica truly special. Highly recommended!

Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Tour

Kristin_Z, Apr 2026

Manuel Antonio park

Get a guide. We missed our tour so went out on our own. We tagged along as we could to hear other tours and got pretty good at animals spotting, but would have enjoyed the eyes and scope of the trained guides. Lovely park, gorgeous throughout and then you end at a gorgeous beach. So worth the drive if you're not staying nearby.

La Leona Waterfall Hike

Maria_M, Apr 2026

Excellent authentic Costa Rican experience!

The hike to La Leona waterfall with this group was an excellent experience! We were a small group of five led by an excellent guide, A few details: you are handed a large water proof bag that holds your water bottles, and a smaller waterproof bag that holds one phone. Yoh leave all of your belongings in your car which you lock and provide the keys to the establishment. Wears water shoes, preferably hiking water shoes with good grip as the path is on both, dry land, which could be rocky, and through river stone and boulders which is slippery. Dress comfortably with clothes that you can be comfortable hiking in, and swimming with, which will get wet (obviously). Bring a change of clothes that you can keep in the car to change into after the hike. About the tour: Our tour guide, Esteban. spoke perfect English and led us through the moderate hike with care. He stopped to teach us about the flora and fauna in Costa Rica occasionally along the way. He exhibited great patience while we hiked through the river and swam to the waterfall. We were able to take our time and not feel rushed. All in all, it was a great day and a great experience… one which we will remember for a very long time!

All Inclusive Catamaran Eco Adventure from Manuel Antonio

christinakfisher, Mar 2026

Great experience - perfect way to spend a morning.

This was better than I thought. I was worried it might be a very busy and crazy boat that may lead to a loud unenjoyable experience. But it was great! They did not over book so it wasn't crowded. The staff was attentive and personable. We saw dolphins, did some snorkeling and enjoyed a swim. The only downside it that the waterslides are a bit steep, you've got to be a thriller seeker to enjoy them. My teenage daughters were really looking forward to sliding into the ocean but opted out of this piece of the trip once we saw the slides in person and saw other passengers shooting off the boat!

We had Ceaser as our guide and he was extremely knowledgeable and had great energy throughout the tour. The cocoa plantation is beautiful and would highly reccomend this tour to anyone wanting to learn the history and process of cocoa. We tried lots of chocolate, hot chocolate and made bonbons. We had a wonderful time!

Arenal Volcano, Hanging Bridges & La Fortuna Waterfall Combo Tour

Noland and André's 10hr tour

Noland was very informative and kept us entertained. He took us to the waterfall and to the base of the volcano. André took us on the tour of the hanging bridges where he was able to spot a yellow eyelash viper and a Rufus mutmut which were very cool to see. The 10-hour tour was well worth the money and very fun.

Monteverde Cloud Forest Guided Nature Walk with Expert Naturalist

Terry_T, Feb 2026

Monteverde Preserve tour

Our guide, Roy , was very knowledgeable. We got awesome pics of many different birds and lots of interesting information about the forest plant life and history. He was so patient with us giving plenty of time for photos. Would definitely recommend him for a good tour!

La Fortuna 4-in-1 Tour: Bridges, Volcano, Waterfall

Kelly_C, Aug 2025

Highly recommend

I could not recommend this more highly 10/10 from start to finish. This tour company was recommended to me & I’m glad I booked. Diego & Ralph were our guides/drivers who made the trip extra. It’s a huge day, lots of walking if you do the three activities but worth every step. You stop often and chat about wildlife, history etc. the only killer is the 500 steps back from the waterfall but reading the comments knew that in advance. I was worried about the Volcano hike based on the comments but it was a slow steady hike up and again, was a good pace - coming down was my concern but we took the steps that had a chain for my balance so i was happy. It’s an incredible experience.
