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.

La Fortuna Ultimate Waterfall Canyoning: 4 Rappels & Monkey Drop

Rebecca_W, Jan 2026

Favorite excursion of our trip

If there is one excursion you should do, this should be it. I suggest wearing a hiking SANDAL as opposed to a hiking boot because you will be soaked. A water shoe isn't durable enough for the bottom of your foot for the hike to the waterfalls as you are repelling down on the rocks but a boot will get soaked (like mine did) when you are submerged in water during the monkey drop. Great tour, good food, and excellent guides.

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!

Felt like a dream

This was a dream experience. My friend and I wanted to experience a boat while in Costa Rica. We originally had a Catamaran booked, but we cancelled it because it was a larger one with like 20-30 people. We secured this experience and we are SO happy we did. Bismarck, Jonathan and Jeffree were such a team. We had max 13 people on our sail boat. Mix of couples and families and it was a delightful group. I felt like a millionaire chartering my own sailing yacht. There may have been some Below Deck quotes being thrown around by us. The mates were super attentive with drink refills, (highly suggest the rum punch) we had pineapple to snack on, cowboy caviar with patacones chips, and chicken tacos. We sailed to an area that was just gorgeous. Everyone went snorkeling or swam for 1.5 hours. As we sailed back to the marina we watched the most beautiful sunset. This is definitely one of the best activities to end your Costa Rican trip with. Would 100% highly suggest booking this experience.
