What are people saying about Guanacaste and Northwest

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.

Felipe and Frank were amazing

The trip was amazing! Frank our driver and Felipe our tour guide took care of us the whole day. Felipe was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about the culture and the hike. They were able to drop us off for breakfast for the trip too! We were able to swim in the waterfall, hot springs and got a mud bath! Felt amazing. Would recommend this to all I know and would do it again! Thanks Felipe and Frank!

Sloth Watching , Coffee, Chocolate & waterfall Experience

Ariel_W, Aug 2026

Must not miss!

This experience was a great way to see lots of what makes Costa Rica special! Guide José and driver Mauricio were on time, knowledgeable, and courteous. I particularly appreciate the pickup and drop off as a solo traveler trying to see more of the country. The curation of stops was excellent -- we saw many animals (sloths! snakes! frogs!), got to swim in a waterfall, and tasted delicious chocolate, coffee, not to mention the great lunch at a local soda. Thank you for the great day!

10/10-Amazing crew, food, and fun!

We booked the sunset catamaran tour and it exceeded every single expectation. It was a beautiful, extraordinary day that we will be talking about for a long time. Here is what made it so special: The Crew: Estevan, Axel, and Diego are absolute rockstars. They were incredibly friendly and personable, making us feel welcome the second we stepped on board. They catered to our every whim and made sure everyone was happy and safe. The Amenities: The snorkeling was tons of fun, the lunch provided was delicious (and way better than your standard tour food!), and the open bar was fantastic—they serve the best drinks! The Finale: Watching the stunning sunset from the deck of the catamaran was the perfect wrap-up. If you want a top-tier, stress-free, and incredibly fun day on the water, book this tour and hope you get Estevan, Axel, and Diego!

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

olivia_E, Jun 2026

We looked at several...

We looked at several different catamaran tours in the Flamingo area but we are so glad we chose this tour. Our family (5 adults, 1 teen) had a great time. The views of Flamingo and the surrounding area are amazing from the water. The crew was very friendly and energetic. The snorkeling was mediocre, we didn’t really see anything while snorkeling. Our family enjoyed using the water slide into the ocean and jumping from the top of the boat. The provided dinner was good. I would definitely recommend booking this tour if you are in the area!
