What are people saying about Guanacaste and Northwest

Joscilynn_K, Sep 2026

We had such a fun time on...

We had such a fun time on our ATV tour! Gustavo was our guide, and he was absolutely great. He was funny, easy to talk to, and made us feel comfortable from the beginning. The whole experience was relaxed and fun, and he made sure we were having a good time throughout the entire ride. We got to stop at two beautiful beaches, stop at a restaurant, and enjoy some drinks along the way. It was such a fun way to explore Costa Rica and see more of the area. It actually started raining during our ride, but honestly, that just made the experience even more memorable! We didn’t let the rain stop us from having a great time. 😂 I would definitely recommend this ATV tour to anyone visiting Costa Rica! Gustavo was an awesome guide, and the combination of riding, beautiful beach stops, good food, drinks, and lots of laughs made this an experience we won’t forget. If you’re looking for something fun and adventurous to do, definitely add this to your Costa Rica itinerary! 🇨🇷❤️

Volcano Hike, Waterfall Swim & Hot Springs Combo on Rincon de la Vieja

Virginia_P, Sep 2026

Chasing Costa Rica

We were picked up on time (actually early). Kevin was an excellent guide. Very personable and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone was safe and looked after. Our driver did an excellent job getting us to each location safely. We were fortunate to have a small group which I think made the experience better!!! We enjoyed a nice lunch and even saw some monkeys and toucan in the rainforest. This is a pretty long day but was worth it!

Adventure in Volcano Combo Tour! - Zip Line, Waterfall, Hot Springs and More

Allan_M, Aug 2026

Unforgettable Experience! Forever Memories

Just book it! You will not regret it. We had a party of 7, ranging in ages from 17 to 60+ and all of us were blown away. From Zip lining, horseback riding, cultural experience, to the water slide, all Activities were top notch. We felt very safe for all activities. Cedar was our guide and we started the party off right with the bus ride. Cedar was an excellent tour guide. He had us laughing from the second we met him and his enthusiasm for the nature in Costa Rica is unmatched. He picked us up right from our air bnb and was pointing out monkeys right near our house that we had never noticed. He was very patient with us and never rushed us through our tour. Finishing our tour with the hot springs was absolute bliss and a memory we will never forget. Highly recommend bringing smaller bills to tip the people assisting you on the tour because they are all excellent and make for an unforgettable experience. We’ll remember this day forever!

Nicaragua Full Day Tour from Costa Rica

Kelinde_R, Aug 2026

Seamless

Long day but lovely day. The weather was also super gloomy, but no one can account for that. On a brighter day, I’m sure the country is beautiful. Otherwise, what a wonderful opportunity to see another country. I think the pace was fine, and the stops were simple. There was really no need to spend extra time in these locations as there really is just one thing for you to see in each location, really, except the final boat tour.

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!

Pamela_W, Aug 2026

Sunset cruise!

Great cruise. Saw some turtles in the ocean and a few fish and stingray during the snorkel. Not a ton of fish around but the boat was fun. The food was great and the drinks were flowing. They had plenty of noodles and snorkel equipment as well as some kayaks and a float. And the sunset ride home was amazing.

La Leona Waterfall Hike and River Tubing

Pamela_W, Aug 2026

Fun adventure

Everything about our waterfall hike and tubing was great. The hike is a little challenging but not bad at all and the guides help everyone. The waterfall was amazing and Wilbur and Felix were great guides. We did the tubing after and that was just our family of 4 with 4 guides who made sure we had an amazing time. We had a blast!
