What are people saying about Costa Rica

Armando_G, Apr 2026

Great experience, worth the price

I cannot recommend this experience enough. Hosts were incredibly friendly and personable while also giving you your privacy, the boat was comfortable (great shade and views!), food was delicious, drinks were strong and tasty, and the private experience was much more enjoyable than one of the cheaper, big boats that are packed with other people. The private experience gave us flexibility to choose if we wanted to stop at beaches, snorkel, or sail around the coast all at our own pace. We even got to see a sea turtle and dolphins! Book this experience, it is well worth the price.

Soooooo fun - worth every penny!

This is a must do and is worth every penny! My husband and I went with two of our friends and we all loved it! The operation is run so smoothly and we felt 100% safe! We purchased the picture/video package and they captured some amazing shots for us! The monkey drop was my favorite - what a rush - I wanted to do it again! We will repeat this same excursion if we come back! If you’re thinking about booking this - stop thinking and just book it! You won’t be disappointed!

Cruising on a 100' Wooden Sail Ship in Province of Puntarenas

Chris_N, Mar 2026

The absolute best day of the holiday. It was a treat for my birthday and did not dissapoint!

Check in was well organised. Parking free nearby. An incredible sailing ship. The best cocktail of the holiday included and was so large that it lasted us for the trip! You could buy extras tho. Fabulous trip out to sea - we saw a trutle swimming by and dolphins passing nearby. Lunch was fabulous - so tasty - choice of chicken, fish or veggie. Chance to swim/snorkel and jump off a very high diving platform for those brave enough. Kit provided - noodles to float around on, snorkel gear etc. Very relaxed atmosphere. Definitely not a booze cruise. One young couple, but most people were middle aged. We came away feeling very chilled/ We would thoroughly recommend this trip.

Full day Tour with Hanging Bridges, Waterfall and Volcano Hike

Jeem_N, Jul 2025

What an amazing tour! It...

What an amazing tour! It was a full day of hiking so be prepared but it is worth it! We had 3 kids ages 5, 10, and 11 and the guide was amazing with them! We started our day at Mistico bridges and there is no way we would’ve seen 20% of the animals without Isaac, our guide. He would find something and set up his scope and show us. He was so accommodating to our kids and answered every question a kid could have. We then went to La Fortuna waterfall, which was gorgeous. Then to their HQ for lunch that was prepared by the family there. It was SO good! After lunch, and coffee, we went to the volcano trails. There we hiked up and learned all about the volcano. Definitely book this tour with this company if you want to do these 3 things. It was such a fun day!
