What are people saying about Guanacaste and Northwest

Michelle_C, Jul 2026

Bernie and Sidar were...

Bernie and Sidar were absolutely amazing! We had the best day, with the best experiences and adventures. The volcano, waterfall, horses, cultural experience, mud, hot springs, ziplines, waterslide, monkeys, hanging bridges, tractor rides....just all of it was epic! If you only do one excursion, do this one! When they say its ok to leave your items in the van, it is, but take tip money with you! And if you want to do the waterslide, make sure you have shorts or something, not just swimsuit bottoms :)

La Leona waterfall adventure hike half day

Kristina_L, Jul 2026

The hike was easy to...

The hike was easy to moderate in spots. We are a pretty active family and we enjoyed the rough terrain, creek crossings, ladders/ropes, etc. My kids enjoyed the adventure (12 and 10) with zero complaints except that it ended too soon. The guides were local, very knowledgeable and incredibly friendly.

Sloth Watching , Coffee, Chocolate & waterfall Experience

John_M, Jul 2026

Nature Filled Indeed

Rudy (our guide) and Orlando (our driver) were absolute delights on our Nature Lover’s tour. They were exceptional hosts and incredibly knowledgeable. All the stops on the tour were beautiful, but the highlight was for sure the wildlife tour up in the rainforest. Getting to see two species of sloth, two species of frogs, and a pit viper was unforgettable.

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

Chris_R, Jul 2026

Don’t miss this extensive tour!!

This is a wonderful multi-faceted adventure that really showcases many of the beautiful features and cultural aspects of Costa Rica! You definitely need to be aware that the hiking aspect would be considered moderate - not easy - but SO very worth it! From volcanic steam pots (fumeroles), boiling ground water pools and boiling mud pools to beautiful roaring waterfalls, hanging bridges through dramatic forests - a delicious authentic Costa Rican lunch buffet - and ending up with a refreshing visit to volcanic mineral hot springs to soak up the healing powers (mud bath too if you like)! Our guide, Daphne, was outstanding - very knowledgeable, courteous and patient with our group. (Our driver, Mambo, was great too). Highly recommend this for a very full day of really getting to see it “all” in Costa Rica!!

Top Notch Service

Exceptional service from start to finish! José, our driver, was fantastic! He picked us up right on time at the airport and was super friendly throughout the entire trip. He gave us a great introduction to the area on our way to the resort and made us feel incredibly welcome. Booking with Guanacaste Infocenter was a breeze and I highly recommend it!

Timarouba Catamaran Sunset Cruise with Open Bar Lunch& Snorkeling

Devon_V, Jul 2026

An amazing experience for three generations

He started off a little slow, but once the boat got moving, knitting, started flowing-it was like a family reunion. The crew did let a couple of the passengers put on their music and that was amazing! People were dancing singing, helping each other. It really embodied Pura Vida.

Tamarindo Estuary Boat Safari

Cheryl_L, Jul 2026

Animal Boat Safari

This tour takes guests on small boats through Las Baulas Marine National Park (next to Tamarindo.) Hotel pick-up and drop-off for our Tamarindo hotel was included. Drinks (soda, water, etc.) and fresh fruit were complimentary and offered to guests on the boat. The tour is rain or shine. The boat is covered but open, I would recommend bringing a poncho (just in case.) It poured on our tour but it was kind of magical being in the mangroves in the rain. Despite the weather, we saw monkeys, crocodiles, birds, etc. The tour lasted about 2 hours and was operated by Native's Way. Our guide was funny and also knowledgeable about the area and animals.

ATV or Buggy Guided Tour from Tamarindo, Conchal or RIU Hotels

Melissa_G, Jun 2026

The Highlight of Our Costa Rica Trip!

Our family of five (two grandparents, two adults, and our young child) had an amazing ATV and buggy tour with 506 Tours! Gustavo was an incredible guide—funny, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. He made sure everyone in our group felt comfortable while sharing interesting facts and stories throughout the tour. The beaches we visited were absolutely beautiful, and the ride itself was a perfect mix of adventure and sightseeing. If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly adventure in Costa Rica, we highly recommend 506 Tours. Ask for Gustavo, you won’t be disappointed!

Flamingo, Guanacaste All Inclusive Catamaran Snorkel Adventure

Jennifer_C, May 2026

Great for all ages!

Great experience! Boat was very clean and well maintained. Crew was incredibly kind to everyone. Ages on board ranged from 8 to 84 and everyone enjoyed it! Food was delicious! My teenagers who are picky, went back for seconds. Snorkeling was good, swimming in the cove was nice and drinks were very good. We’d do this again!
