What are people saying about Guanacaste and Northwest

Renita_D, Oct 2026

I saw a snake!

We had a wonderful experience with Nana! She took such good care of us. We started the tour with a beautiful drive to the waterfall, we stopped for breakfast (not part of the tour, but part of the caretaking, it's hard to enjoy yourself when you're hangry) and had a nice sit down meal with an explanation of what we could expect during the day. We enjoyed everything that was listed in the description. What was not mentioned was how much each guide would go out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our visit. We saw sloths, frogs, a beautiful snake and with some much needed help, we got amazing photos that we are taking credit for. i go to grind coffee and taste fresh cocoa beans and learn about the history of Costa Rica. We also had an amazing Costa Rican lunch. It was money and time well spent.

We had good weather for our trip, which gave great views of the sunset. It took us a bit to figure out which was our tour at the meeting point but thankfully there are multiple tour groups and they all sort of know each other enough to point you in the right direction. We enjoyed chatting with the other guests and the drinks and lunch were delicious! The lunch was rice, chicken, beans, salad, fruit. When packing, be beach-ready! The best part was the hour floating in a beach cove.

Tamarindo Estuary Boat Safari

Stacy_N, Sep 2026

Beautiful tour, great experienced guide

Ivan was an extremely knowledgeable guide and shared the history and significance of the estuary. He pointed out birds, native trees and plants, and went out of his way to find several crocodiles. We also had the chance to hike a very short distance into the trees to see more than a dozen monkeys taking a "siesta" in the trees. On the way back, Ivan provided cold drinks and fresh pineapple. Highly recommend this excursion!

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

GIROLAMO_F, Sep 2026

Vulcano tour

I'm so happy that i booked this tour, the views were amazing, we hike for about 2 hours and enjoying everything inside the rain and dry forest. Spot a few birds, it was raining on off so i suggesting to bring a rain jacket..the view from up there are spectacular about 2000 feet high. After that we went to the water fall ( but we couldn't swim because of the rain) had a delicious lunch in a local restaurant with different options of food😋 and finally relaxed at the hot springs and take a bath with the volcanic mud,the water is so hot. Our guide was prepared and explained us everything about the tour, and also our driver Frank did a good job. I high recommend it 👌

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

Megan_D, Sep 2026

Best bday ever

We had such an amazing excursion day with Carlos! I was expecting a bus, but it ended up being a private experience with just me and my three friends, which made it even better. Carlos was extremely accommodating and even stopped for breakfast to make sure we ate before all of the activities. Some of us were nervous, but he made us feel comfortable and safe the entire time. He was also very knowledgeable and shared stories about Costa Rican culture along the way. We got to experience so many activities in one day, and Carlos made the whole experience fun and memorable. Highly recommend!

La Fortuna: ATV Adventure Through Rainforest & Volcano Views

Wes_C, Sep 2026

Very fun, very safe, a little bit stinky

This was great! After a short safety briefing and a practice trip around a short track, you head out following the guide for a 2 hour jaunt through the forest, going over some pretty rough and muddy terrain. The ATVs are easy to control and can get up to a decent speed, and as long as you're being reasonably responsible, are perfectly safe -- we didn't feel like we were ever in danger of losing control or flipping the vehicle. There's a stop about halfway through at the river to stretch your legs, get wet if you want to, and have a quick snack, before you head back. There are some long stretches where you're driving on paved roads, which I found to be less fun than the muddy, rutted tracks in the forest, but overall this was a good time that I would do again. Two things to note: the description says there's an optional volcanic mud mask at the river, but our guide never mentioned it (not that I would have done it; the mud is not particularly inviting). Also, they provide helmets, but the helmets get quite warm and sweaty, and as a result they smell pretty bad. You get used to it (my partner has a delicate sense of smell and was fine) but it is a bit unpleasant in the beginning.

Snorkeling tour

This was a such a great tour! Austin was a wonderful tour host. We made a mistake and booked for the wrong day, and they were willing to accommodate us. The equipment was top notch and the food they served was fantastic. They came around and made sure we had some great pictures as memories. Overall great tour and highly recommend.

Rio Celeste Hiking, Sloth Sanctuary & Llanos de Cortes Waterfall Tour

Rio Celeste, Sloths and Cortez Waterfalls

Kevin and Kristian we're very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable guides who made the tour fun and interesting. It was very well organized, the guide in the sloth sanctuary was very good and discovered lots of animals which he helped us photograph through the binoculars. The lunch location was well selected, the food delicious. Highly recommended!

Blue Dolphin - Public Catamaran Tour - Tamarindo

Sonja_C, Jun 2026

Wonderful

The food and drinks were great. The weather from the tropical storm had the water not clear enough for snorkeling. I wish they would have had some life jackets instead of pool noodles especially for people like my husband that can’t float. One pool noodle was not enough for a muscular man that can’t float. I didn’t even have one for very long because I went with my hubby back to the boat and some guy grabbed mine and his and took off. But overall it was a good trip.

Catamaran Snorkel Sunset Cruise from Tamarindo or Playas del Coco

Vance_E, Feb 2026

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!
