We selected the private guide option and had the best time and experience. He is very knowledgeable within his occupational service and you can tell it is not just a job, but also a hobby for him, that he strives to share with others. He will do his best to show you all that nature has to offer and definitely has an eye for his job! He has a great sense of humor within and if you get the chance to book a private tour with anyone and not looking to be in such a big group you should definitely book it right here with him!

Hernan was great!
Hernan is one of the most incredible guides I have ever had anywhere in the world. His university studies for being able to be a nature guide is so obvious in his knowledge and understanding of the intricacies of the dry forest and the wet forest and the animals and plants that inhabit it. We did the loop trail and learned so much about plants, transition zones, animals, and the geology.
His answers were never just a few words, but were obviously educated, detailed understanding and expression of the way these things all relate to each other and the beauties that they hold.
Absolutely outstanding!

Fantastic
We had a fantastic time on our tour. Our guide Francisco was very knowledgeable and skilled at spotting wildlife and our boat captain was also fantastic. We saw lots of crocodiles, birds, and monkeys during our river cruise and the area did not feel incredibly busy, allowing for a more peaceful and individual experience. We also loved the included lunch, it was one of the best meals on our entire trip. The pottery demonstration was also great. Highly recommend this tour!

Our guide was an absolute sweetheart! He went at our pace, whatever that was at the time. We started off a little slower so we could get confident and then when we wanted to pick it up, he did! He read the cues without us saying a word. It was great! It is very private and fun! Saw howler monkeys and the local towns which were amazing experiences. It is not too difficult for someone inexperienced but also very fun if youre comfortable on a quad. The water crossings were well placed so depth was perfect. This was such a relaxed vibe without a schedule pressure and a perfect way to see lots of different settings without being restricted to a car or walking pace. Highly recommend!

A must see!
Th pearl is beautiful!! Mop was an awesome tour guide and found so many fun things for us to see. We saw Howler and Whiteface monkeys, sloths, frogs and lizards, lots of different birds and bats and the coolest looking crabs. He pointed out the different plants, trees and insects too, he is very knowledgeable about all of it. He took photos with his phone through the telescope so we got great pictures of what we saw without a big hold up of everyone trying to get their own, then he just airdropped them to us at the end. The tour ended and the beautiful beach where we stayed and swam and did a little more walking around the park. Highly recommend this tour!!

Exactly the excursion we were looking for in Tamarindo
Our excursion with Carlos was absolutely incredible. The tubing and cliff jumping/rope swinging into the lagoon was so much fun. The second trip which included a jungle hike (we saw howler monkeys, snakes, and iguanas) and swimming through a raging river in a cave to one of the most beautiful waterfalls we’ve ever seen was like nothing we’ve ever done before. Our local lunch was peaceful and delicious before the final hike and massive waterfall. We enjoyed free coconut water and story after story from our guide Carlos, who made sure we had as authentically local of a trip as possible. He also provided water, tea, beer, snacks, and stopped for bathrooms/quick shops whenever we asked. Carlos could not have been a more fun or knowledgeable guide - if you are considering booking this excursion, do it. There is zero chance you will regret it. Pura Vida!

This tour was an amazing experience. As someone who is afraid of both heights and water due to not being a strong swimmer, I was nervous going in, but I would absolutely recommend it. The scenery throughout the tour was stunning.
The ziplining portion did feel a bit rushed, and the photo and video package for ziplining wasn’t worth the cost. However the rafting portion was incredible and truly the highlight of the day. Our guide Moi/Moises was absolutely amazing, full of energy, incredibly enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. He even pointed out wildlife along the way and let us take turns riding in the front like a bull, which was such a fun touch. He is truly a gem and I highly recommend requesting him if possible. The rafting photos were high quality, beautiful, and definitely worth purchasing.

Costa Rica is Perfectly Splendid “Pura Vida”
We hit the ground running and experienced the best culture night tour on the streets of San Jose, Costa Rica. So much history, heard about William Walker who actually lived in my city, New Orleans, This tour was above and beyond greater than any of my expectations. Karol and Johana were amazing guides, we learned so much and there was so much to see, cork trees, beautiful parks, coffe bean trees, historical buildings, art work, live opera performance as we were passing by! Bravo with a wave. We met great people too.
Somos más que Café is were I experience a warm and tasty cup of coffee, it was a cappuccino with a hit of ginger and lime, it was so very delightful. We ended our night at a very unique dinning spot with the best Authentic Costa Rican food ever, there were several meal options to choose from, drinks for me 2 glasses of Sangria, My dessert was a brownie with vanilla ice cream, “ you know what it’s called” Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!🇨🇷🫶🏽🇨🇷

City tour
This was an amazing experience!! The tour guides and bus drivers were fantastic! Everyone we encountered were professional, informative and extremely polite. We enjoyed the live music the Marachi played on the bus, the extensive history at the museums and picturesque parks. The food and drinks were completely delectable and savory. Although the Gold museum wasn't available today, we went to the National Theater instead. What a beautiful mirage of paintings and antiques trimmed in gold everywhere! Our tour guides Hector and Minor took good care of us and made us feel like family! Why wait, book today!!

Worth It!
This was well worth the price! The adventures started so early and you're constantly on the go so our group wasn't that hungry and the fresh fruit and water was perfect.
The zipline guides were funny and friendly. They were great with making our nervous group members comfortable and we all had a great time. Keep in mind that the zipline harnesses aren't that comfy and you will be squished a bit while you're zipping around. You will have time between platforms to take pics. WEAR BUG SPRAY.
The ATV was my favorite part! It was so fun from start to finish. You WILL get dirty and sweaty and its awesome. We saw sloths, very cool birds, and the awesome local farms. Our guides were nice enough to take some cool pics of our group and tell us some local lore. The sight seeing was great. We went during rainy season and had planned a hike to the waterfalls the next day but this was so great we decided we didn't even need the hike. Plus with all the mud a hike would have been rough. This was a safer and better alternative for this time of year IMO.

Safe, Fun, and Unforgettable Adventure!
joined this rafting tour with my 11-year-old son and we had an absolutely fantastic time. The guides were highly professional, friendly, and made us feel safe from start to finish. The rafting itself was so much fun – exciting rapids but also very manageable for families.
A highlight was stopping by a beautiful waterfall for a break, which gave us time to relax, swim, and enjoy the scenery. Everything was well organised and full of good energy.
I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Costa Rica – it’s a perfect mix of adventure, nature, and fun!

Great Surfing Experience
This was so much fun! The instructors were great and we absolutely loved it. We had a private lesson since we had two kids with us and everyone got up. FYI - they take pictures of you so bring cash if you want to buy them. It was 40 colones and the cash saves you the government tax.
