What are people saying about Costa Rica

Rob_V, Aug 2026

THIS was one of the...

THIS was one of the coolest things I've ever done. Six of us booked the 12 line and had a blast. I've never ziplined before this and had a few butterflies at the start. After halfway down the first line, I knew I had this licked. You go between 20-50mph and have heights of 300'+. Flying by the waterfalls were just awesome. The crew we had were a blast and kept you feeling safe the entire time. Can't wait to go back and do it again.

Awesome tour guides!!

We went during the slower season during late August. It was very private just my wife and I and one other couple. Our tour guide was a team of 2 and both were super nice and very accommodating. They made lots of jokes and made sure everyone was comfortable. They picked us up and dropped us back off even though it was out of the way. Would highly recommend this experience for anyone!

La Fortuna Waterfall, Arenal Volcano, Hot Springs Full Day Tour

jasmine_v, Aug 2026

Great!!! :)

The experience went and said delightful. It’s a lot of movement so be ready. Diego and Christian were amazing. Some tour people don’t take the time to really explain the history OR interact individually with their groups and that sucks. But they did. These are TWO hikes. First one is the hike to La fortuna waterfall, you have lunch, and then you’ll hike to volcano arenal. That at least your visit thermal hot spring if it’s included with your reservation. NICE TIME!!!

La Fortuna Waterfall, Hanging Bridges, Arenal Volcano Combo Tour

Birthday Adventure Tour

An absolutely amazing tour!!! I was nervous about the hanging bridges, but after crossing the first one, I loved all the others. The views of the volcano were breathtaking and though the steps were a bit intimidating, the waterfall was the perfect ending! Our tour guide Catalina (Cat) was funny, witty, and just a wealth of knowledge on all things Volcano, waterfall, hanging bridges, and all things nature! Our driver was great as well. Thanks for a memorable birthday trip!! 10 out of 10 recommend!!!

7-Cable Zipline Adventure: Fly Over La Fortuna Waterfall

Paola_C, Aug 2026

Must Do!!

We had a great experience on this zip line tour! The thrill was exhilarating and felt very safe! Plenty of parking on-site and close La Fortuna center. They had a safety training before the lines and many guides to help with the zipping transfers. It was rainy and a tad windy when we went but it didn’t change a thing. If anything, the forest was very very lush and vibrant green. My boyfriend is very afraid of heights but this was a must-do bucket list item. The first zip line was the highest and definitely took him a minute to get in the zone but the staff reassured him and he had fun! After the first zip line it gets easier and easier. Our group was comprised of all ages and weights. If the guides noticed that someone needed more weight to get across or maybe even scared, they go on the zip with you to make you feel even more secure! 100/10 experience and MUST DO! Fight your fears! You don’t want to miss this!

North Fields Cafe: Craft Specialty Coffee and Chocolate Tour

Elizabeth_C, Aug 2026

Absolutely Brilliant from Start to Finish

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Due to a tropical storm, our arrival to Aranale was delayed by 24 hours. Consequently we would have missed our tour. North Fields Cafe: Craft Specialty Coffee and Chocolate Tour were so accommodating and moved our start time. We were picked up and dropped back to our hotel. Valerie our tour guide was so entertaining both knowledgeable and very funny. The coffee and chocolate tasted amazing and we were walked through each process from start to finish. Can’t think of a better way to experience both coffee and chocolate as well as sampling both sugarcane juice and the alcohol they also produce. Tour worth every penny. Our teenage children aged 14,15,18 also really enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you so much ☺️

Sloth Wildlife Experience , Coffee, Chocolate & waterfall

Meredith_H, Aug 2026

Definitely recommend this...

Definitely recommend this experience! Our guide, Rudy, was outstanding and made this such an amazing excursion. He went out of his way to really make it memorable. Orlando, our driver, was great as well. We were able to get to the waterfall before the crowds and enjoy the water and view. After the coffee and cocoa, we had a great lunch and then a truly unique experience in the rainforest. We were so lucky to see a sloth down close and take pictures with it. The rainforest guide was awesome and found some really cool animals to show us. I highly recommend this experience! Ask for Rudy and Orlando!

Balsa River White Water Rafting class 2/3 in Costa Rica

Payal_S, Aug 2026

Very good. Only down...

Very good. Only down fall was the Balsa River only open when dam is open and it was not open by the time we reached there so we had to go to another river so ended up being a long day and lots of time driving. Wish they had checked before we went or given us maybe some of our money back. But it very good and a thrilling adventure.

Timarouba Catamaran Sunset Cruise with Open Bar Lunch& Snorkeling

Kenton_L, Aug 2026

Great Experience

The cruise started a little disorganized trying to figure out where and who to meet up with but once that was figured out it was an amazing 5 hrs with a crew that was personable and fun to be around. It was an excellent experience and I would definitely do it again when I come back. Food was great, and drinks were actually unlimited. We traveled up the coast to a secluded spot where there was a small beach and a nice snorkel spot. We arrived back in port perfectly on time about 15 mins before sunset and watched the sunset from just outside of the bay. Then proceeded to push in and disembark before it got really dark. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
