What are people saying about Guanacaste and Northwest

Daniel_F, Jul 2026

Unforgettable and unique trip to Nicaragua!

Very interesting tour, I loved seeing the active Masaya Volcano, the overlook across the lakes and valleys and the old city of Granada. The restaurant they took us to was incredibly beautiful with a lush garden courtyard and excellent food. The street vendors were a little pushy in the town square. The chocolate at the cacao shop was incredible. Some of us also opted to go on a horse buggy ride and that was something new for me. The boat tour was WET as it was raining the day we went so we did not end up stopping on any island or feeding the monkeys. Our tour guide, Peter (Pedro) was incredible and a wonderful guy. He made us laugh and kept us entertained and informed the entire ride to Nicaragua (which is a long one!) we played music in the van and had a part the whole time, it was great. :)

Tamarindo Estuary Boat Safari

Tamarindo Estuiary Tour with my family

We had a great tour of the Tamarindo Estuary with my family. The tour opertator pick us up on time as planned. We saw a variety of wildlife including a few crocodiles, iguanas, raccoons, howler monkeys, and many different birds. We were concerned about mosquitos but there were none. I recommend this tour.

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 :)

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.

Daphne was a wonderful and friendly tour guide. My only complaint is that I could have spent more time at each stop, especially the hot springs. It was a very full day but the best one of our whole trip! Just like the advertisement, it was an awesome adventure!

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!

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.

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!
