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.

Excellent experience and our guide was also excellent. I think his name was Guillermo. He was super knowledgeable about the plants and animals. We saw a sloth, tons of monkeys, coati, raccoons, boas, lizards, hawks and more. I would definitely recommend.

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!

They made this experience so fun!
Family of 5 and we had an absolute blast!
The slide was a huge hit and would highly recommend. It didn’t feel crowded and the whole crew made this experience very memorable. Highly recommend and wish we could go again!

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!

Really great day! So beautiful and the pools of water were so refreshing. I would not recommend for small children, the hike was difficult at times and one wrong move could have been deadly. But it was a great time! I wore water shoes and it worked out great but was slippery in spots.

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.

A fine evening on the water
Our guide Javier is a wildlife whisperer. We saw birds (potoo, pauraque, wood-rail, tiger heron, green heron, pygmy kingfisher, green kingfisher), basilisk, bats, cayman and crocodile, iguanas. Although it rained, we remained dry within the boat. We skipped the dinner (and notified them beforehand) because it is served too late for both us and our grandchildren. The tour kindly provided free transportation back to our hotel right after the cruise!

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!

Says 4 in 1 but it’s only 3 activities.
Full day of touring. Never felt rushed. Two guides for our group because it was fairly large (12 ppl). Guides were knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. Van was comfortable, with AC, and there was space for our belongings. Guides brought walking sticks for those who need one. We went to three different spots- the volcano/Mistico park, el silencio (the preserve) and the waterfall. Each activity required a wristband and parking seemed to be free. You could do all of this on your own but the guides were able to spot many different animals and show us with their scope. Binoculars would be helpful if you don’t have a guide with a scope. The lunch was good. It was a long day. Started promptly at 730 and ended at 4.

Crocs and butterflies
Our tour was delayed due to the breakdown of the first tour bus. But the company made up for it by adding a brief tour of Puntarenas itself followed by the regular tour once the new bus was available. The crocodiles and the butterflies were the highlights. Long tour but very good.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
If one country is known for its nature, it’s Costa Rica. With cloud forests, active volcanoes, sparkling beaches, sloth sanctuaries, national parks, and more, outdoor activities in Costa Rica know no bounds. Luckily, it's just 10 hours coast to coast, so you can hike mountain summits, soar down raging rivers, and soak in Costa Rica's famous hot springs in just a few days. These excursions make it easier to hit the highlights, often providing round-trip transportation and sometimes taking you to multiple attractions in a single day.
