What are people saying about Guanacaste and Northwest

Marianne_W, Oct 2026

This was a great outing!...

This was a great outing! I took my mother who is almost eighty because it looked like it would be fun but laidback enough for her level of fitness and it was. Nana was our tour guide for the day. She was very knowledgeable and engaging. Gustavo was our driver and he was incredibly kind and attentive. They were both so helpful and considerate of my mother! The stairs down to the waterfall were a little tricky so Mom didn’t do that part; but she had a pretty place to sit with a nice view with a couple of local vendors she chatted with. I did go down to the waterfall myself. It was beautiful and refreshing! The rainforest and sloth watching was really great and the trail was perfect for Mom. Diego was our naturalist and aside from being well-educated on his subject matter, he grew up in the area so he had a lot of knowledge to share. And an incredible eye! We saw things we never would have noticed on our own. Additionally, he’s an excellent photographer and helped us get some really nice shots! We had the very rare good fortune of seeing a juvenile sloth down low close to the trail. We were right next to him and he was cuter than I could have imagined! The coffee and cacao farm was also an awesome learning experience in a beautiful place. Sadly, I can’t remember the name of our guide there; but he was wonderful. We love coffee and chocolate so this was right up our alley! A traditional lunch was part of the tour and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend this tour!

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

Marianne_W, Oct 2026

Fantastic!

This was my favorite day of my vacation. Philippe, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. So fun! He was also very thoughtful. I took this tour on my own and he made sure I still got pictures of myself at the scenic points. Miguel, our driver, was very kind and attentive. And I had the good luck of meeting great people on the tour with me too! The hike was enjoyable exercise. I work out regularly and while I didn’t find it really challenging, it is a bit of work and there are a lot of stairs. There are several cable bridges that could be daunting to the faint of heart. That said, if you’re reasonably fit, willing to sweat and enjoy an adventure, you will love this tour! The rainforest, waterfall, hot springs, wildlife… all of it was fabulous! And the lunch was delicious! I would definitely recommend this tour and would happily do it again myself!!!

Tamarindo Estuary Boat Safari

Sabine_R, Oct 2026

Nice experience in the mangrove forest

The travel time is adjusted to the tide; for us, it was moved forward by 2 hours. However, we were notified in time. The guide put a lot of effort into looking for animals; he even walked a bit into the forest with us so that we could see howler monkeys. He had cold drinks and fresh pineapple for everyone.

Timarouba Catamaran Sunset Cruise with Open Bar Lunch& Snorkeling

Lindsey_B, Oct 2026

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.

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

Kristen_V, Sep 2026

One of the best days of our lives!

We had such an amazing experience on our excursion in Costa Rica! Our tour guide, Bernie, was absolutely incredible from start to finish. He was extremely knowledgeable about Costa Rica, the wildlife, the history, and the area, and he made the entire experience both fun and educational. Most importantly, we always felt safe and well taken care of. Bernie was attentive, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were comfortable throughout the entire excursion. You could truly tell how passionate he is about what he does and how much he genuinely cares about giving people a great experience. Bernie made the excursion even more memorable for us, and we are so grateful we had him as our guide. If you’re considering this excursion, we highly recommend it—and if you get Bernie as your guide, you’re in for an amazing experience! We would absolutely do this again! 🇨🇷❤️

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.

Costa Rica Guanacaste Airport ( LIR )Private Arrival Transfer

KR_T, Aug 2026

We opted to do this...

We opted to do this arrival and departure. Arrival was a little hectic without having telephone service as soon as you arrive. However people who work at the airport were very helpful. Once communicated with driver everything was smooth. Departure was great driver arrived at the hotel early and we had a smooth ride to the airport.

Flamingo, Guanacaste All Inclusive Catamaran Snorkel Adventure

Vilas_N, Aug 2026

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

Christine_B, Jul 2026

Beautiful day at Llanos...

Beautiful day at Llanos de Cortes. We swam in the natural pool surrounding the waterfall. Pleasant temperature. Worth a quick swim and some great photos. Saw Howler monkeys in the trees above. Next we went to the Sloth natural reserve. Saw 3-4 sloths but were treated by one climbing down from his tree to take care of his weekly bathroom run. Also saw lots of other wildlife here. The lunch was amazing with lots of native Costa Rican foods. Toucans played in the trees right by our dining area. Finally we made it to Rio Celeste only in time for it to pour. We did successfully make it to the falls but the water lost its blue color due to all the silt from the rain. The falls did have an impressive amount of water pouring down. As the rain finished up, we headed back down and all the wildlife emerged- a family of Coati, a Capuchin monkey, a Motmot, an anole, walking sticks, etc. We all very much enjoyed the day.

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!
