Good trails and guaranteed sloths
Our guide was great. Very happy to chat about the animals, great at pointing out animals and allowing everyone to get photos through the spotting scope. The rain was torrential for part of the tour but it was still fun. The trails are easy to follow and we saw several sloths and dart frogs.

Great for adults and kids!
Great tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable, humorous and patient with our group, which included six boys ages 5-10. We saw a dozen different species of birds, iguanas, and of course many crocs (each with name, age, and interesting info). We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the river and would highly recommend!

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.

Close up monkey encounter
We had a fabulous time at this activity. It started in Jaco where we were picked up promptly and then an hours drive to the venue. There was only a few minutes to wait prior to getting on a boat - again there were spare seats so we were able to switch sides. Look at for caymens lurking! We spotted sloths and had monkeys in the boat - they’re super tame! I liked that it wasn’t rushed and every time another animal was spotted, we stopped and our guide ensured everyone had enough pics. Would definitely recommend this activity 5⭐️

Lake Arenal and Hot springs with hanging bridges hike.
Such a great day! While driving to Arenal Volcano, our guide Daniel, shared information about Costa Rica. We stopped for breakfast and had a wonderful traditional breakfast with an excellent view of Lake Arenal. We drove on to visit the hanging bridges. There we saw snake, bats, birds, and got to walk 3 bridges. We then went to the Hot Springs and relaxed in a beautiful setting. We then went on to have lunch right at the base of the volcano. Such a beautiful area. The tour was excellent and our guide Danial was as well!

Magical experience!!!
This was such an amazing experience and the best horseback riding on the beach experience I’ve had. Jordan, our tour guide, was spectacular, allowing us to slow down and take photos when we wanted to. He was very attentive to the inexperienced writers in our group. The horses appear very well cared for and are very well behaved. Overall, a wonderful experience I would 100% recommend and I would do it again. One suggestion is make sure your ankles are covered either with higher boots or socks. Because the stirrups can rub against them and cause bruises. The beaches are stunning and we got to see monkeys and iguanas on our trip.

A day of what you make it
Obi was a fantastic tour guide. We loved all the fun facts and engagement. He was very good at reading our group to keep us moving along in a way that wasn’t rushed. When he ask my friends and I what we were most looking forward to and we said zip lines and seeing wildlife, Obi then made it a mission to stop the car and allow the whole van to see the incredible wildlife as he spotted it from the front window! His knowledge about Costa Rica as a whole plus the area really made the trip for us. Also, zip lining was some of the best I’ve done, the crew was so fun.

Juan in a Million
Our Gio Tours excursion from Puntarenas was fantastic, but honestly, our guide Juan was the absolute star and the reason it was so memorable. Without his incredible sense of humor and engaging energy, the day could have felt routine—he kept everyone laughing, relaxed, and fully involved from start to finish.
The port pickup/drop-off was seamless, the fruit market stop was delicious (those fresh mango samples were out of this world!), the Tarcoles River pontoon cruise delivered wild crocodile sightings and many birds, and the authentic Costa Rican lunch was plentiful and tasty.
Juan brought the wildlife, culture, and history to life with fun facts and great stories. Gio Tours delivered a perfect mix of adventure and local flavor, but Juan’s witty personality turned it into something special. Highly recommend—5 stars, especially for him! 🌴🐊 Thanks, Juan!

Great Experience
This was an amazing experience! We got to see dolphins and a whale on our trip and then enjoyed swimming off the slide and snorkeling! The food and drinks were delicious and so fresh! Kevin and Minor were great guides throughout this experience, I highly recommend!

Amazing experience!!!
Jesus and Mike were absolutely amazing! They were both incredibly patient with my 70 year old mother who did all activities! Mike taught us a lot about different things the plants are used for. It was really fun getting to know him along the way. These guys were the BEST! Pura vida!

Fun filled day
The scenery was excellent, the staff was fun, energetic, friendly, well prepared and knowledgeable. ATVing through horses, tractor haul through acres of land, definitely do the waterfall repel! And the best ziplining in Jaco/Hermosa area. Top it off with some of the best grilled chicken we've had in CR and homemade juice to go with it. Huge thank you to Jesus and the boys for an amazing fun filled 5 hour day! Pura Vida 🙌🏽

An Amazing Journey
Fran, Anita and Jorge were wonderful guides. They were polite, knowledgeable and easily able to communicate in Spanish and English. They offered fascinating insights into natural history, biology and Costa Rican history. The lunch served was incredible and the pace of the day's events were very manageable. It was a wonderful experience which we'll highly recommend to friends and family. Muchas gracias y pora vida!
