Wonderful
Haviere was incredible at spotting animals and the. Getting us away from the crowds when they formed around us. We seemed to be on our own in a very busy place. He’s so informative and pleasant to be with. Amazing photos with his clever telescope adapter. We saw so many things that we couldn’t see with the naked eye.

Excellent experience and...
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.

Fantastic guided walk with Andrea
Andrea was our guide for the Manuel Antonio walk and she was absolutely fantastic. She was very friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and shared so much interesting information about the animals and plants throughout the tour.
She also took amazing photos and videos for us, which she kindly shared with the group afterwards—such a great touch! The pace of the walk was perfect and never felt rushed, allowing us to really enjoy the experience and take everything in.
Highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Andrea as your guide!

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!

Amazing catamaran ride! Perfect excursion!!!
Overall this excursion was exactly as advertised! I've been on some misleading adventures before, so it was refreshing to have this excursion check all the boxes! The crew were amazing! The drinks, music playlist and food were all perfect for the atmosphere! We were lucky enough to spot dolphins and the crew took their time to track them and make sure everyone had multiple sightings! The slide was fast and the jumping platform was high! I loved it, my Boys' (4 and 6) loved watching me use them! Just a little too crazy for them haha. The swimming session was amazing! My 6 year old was actually stung by a tiny jellyfish which no one even noticed. It wasn't until a crew member heard him complaining of a hurt neck that it was figured out! He promptly got some vinegar, sprayed it on his neck and it felt better instantly! Thank you!
I can't remember the names of the crew, I just know there were 2 Diegos! They were all fantastic! They kept the energy high and the vibes strong! It was absolutely perfect in every way, including the Flamingo Marina being very clean and having great washroom access. The catamaran actually had a couple of urinals and toilets which is great compared to others I've been on in the past! Keep up the great work!

Really great day! So...
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.

My boyfriend won’t shut up about the tour lol
My boyfriend was not as excited for this excursion due to it being “just a chocolate and coffee tour” but now he won’t shut up about it lol. We had a great time, the tour was quite informative and personal. We toured the site, ate different fruits and chocolate-covered fruits, drank coffee and hot chocolate. We learned about cacao, the process of making coffee and my boyfriend (avid coffee drinker) says he has a newfound greater appreciation for coffee and the effort that goes into making it. Like I said, he now won’t shut up lol. Highly recommend!

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.

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.
