Unforgettable experience!
This was the highlight of our trip for our 10 and 7 year old boys! It was the perfect first ziplining experience for our whole family! This experience was very well-organized, felt extremely safe, and the mix of ziplining and the hanging bridges was so fun!

Manuel Antonio guided tour
Really worth having the guide who knows so much about the animals in the park. Best part was that he could spot the animals and using his telescope could show us a close up look of them. Our guide's name was Kevin who was a young, well educated young man. His English was impeccable and his knowledge of the animals endless. He was very down to earth and approachable. His photography skills were amazing and he graciously shared his pictures with us after the tour.

Unforgettable experience!
We had an amazing time with our guide Luis Pena! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and the rainforest. We wouldn’t have seen any of the animals without Luis and his telescope! He went at a comfortable pace, answered all of our questions, and made sure we saw the animals we wanted to see—like the sloths and monkeys. It was an amazing experience to have with our two kids!

Morning Tour
This boat ride was comfortable and accommodating. Rode along the coast and even got to see a mother Humpback whale and her baby. Snorkeling was a bit packed but was able to see about 5 different types of fish. The slide and jumping off the deck was awesome. Food was great. We all loved it.

Fun and exciting experience
What a ride !!!!! All terrain - pave roads, dirt roads, rock roads, mud, steams !!!! Soooo much fun. Beautiful area to travel in. You stop at a waterfall. You guys are awesome if you’re not a season rider they will have a person take you on a slower tour. If you like speed, you will stay on the fast route.!!! The day ended looked awesome rain storm while we were riding cooled you down and cleaned you off. Then they bring you back for a lunch and a beautiful facility up in the back of the property. Joseph and his crew were wonderful. I can’t say enough about it. It’s a 10 out of 10.!!!!!

Well worth doing, learned a lot
A really great tour of the plantation, where we learned all about growing fruits, and cocoa. We got to taste pineapple, mango, sugar cane, raw cocoa, and chocolate. The guide was very knowledgeable, his grandfather started the plantation. Well worth doing, we really enjoyed it. Be sure to wear something airy and light, as it gets hot and humid amidst all the trees and plants.

Gentle and photo worthy trip
Great way to start off a trip to Costa Rica. The descent and climb seems easier than reported. For anyone in average health and ability to walk the path is very doable. If you would like to take is some wildlife and photos, enjoy their gift shop and food, and some of the other exhibits, plan for a few more hours.

Absolutely incredible!...
Absolutely incredible! The guides were amazing and informative. They pointed out wildlife and taught us about the local culture and had so much to tell us. The actual rafting was gorgeous and thrilling and has been by far the best activity we have done. By the end it was like we were one giant family and I would 1,000% recommend this to anyone visiting La Fortuna.

Excellent choice for the $!
It is best to wear old gym shoes for traction.. A swimsuit and nylon shorts that dry quickly are perfect. Our guide was very knowledgeable, we stopped whenever we wanted, many opportunities for pictures. It is about a two hour excursion. I highly recommend this company as they have experience in the area since childhood and have a love of the land. If you don’t have transportation to the meet up point, it is about $115 per person. Still very worth it.

A thrill ride in the rain through the clouds ...
This was one of the best experiences of the lifetime - The ATV ride in the rain and maneuvering on the rugged muddy terrain was a in adventure within - The beautiful jungle type setting and going to the waterfall was absolutely incredible!! The ATV guides were very friendly and coached us to how operate the ATV's and led the group very professionally through the entire coarse of the pathway through forest, clouds, uphill and downhill climbs and maneuvering through the cascading streams and dense forests. The ATVs were well maintained and fun to ride.

Great for all ages!
Great experience! Boat was very clean and well maintained. Crew was incredibly kind to everyone. Ages on board ranged from 8 to 84 and everyone enjoyed it! Food was delicious! My teenagers who are picky, went back for seconds. Snorkeling was good, swimming in the cove was nice and drinks were very good. We’d do this again!

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.

If one country is known for its nature, it’s Costa Rica.

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.
