Michelle_A, Sep 2026

All the things!!

It is a day packed full of fun! Rene our guide was incredible and so kind. He was always looking out for us and giving us guidance along the way. He made sure we didn’t miss any of the incredible animal sightings along the way, pointing out the monkeys and the toucans that he found for us. Best day in Costa Rica! Highly recommend! If you get Rene as your guide, you will have the best day!!!

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!

This tour was great,...

This tour was great, Gabriel was on time for our hotel pickup and communicated with us the night before to ensure that our tour was off to a smooth start. Gabriel was informative, giving us interesting information about the history of Panama and many of the landmarks we passed. He was patient with our group and allowed us to tour on a flexible schedule that suited our pace and liking. Our group had a small child, young adult males, and older adults, who all found a part of the tour that was interesting and enjoyable for them. Overall, it was a great choice for our visit to Panama and we would definitely recommend this experience to other travelers.

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 Watching & Wildlife, Coffee, Chocolate and 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!

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.

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!

Wonderful experience! The...

Wonderful experience! The only potential downside is if someone doesn’t like crowds, the boat can get a fair amount of people on there, which can also add to the fun, but if you want a more private experience than that might be a distraction. Food was good, beautiful surroundings, saw sea turtle, and humpback whale!
