What are people saying about Jaco

3-Hour ATV Jungle Waterfall Adventure

Tanner_C, Jul 2026

Do It

Our 2 guys Dennis and El Manuel (I think I’m not good with names) were awesome! Helped me out with some Spanish and what not. These guys were very outgoing to make sure we had fun, and they were very funny! Would recommend, they bring you to some cool spots.

Private Boat to Tortuga Island Day Trip

Our trip to Tortuga Island stared out with some very unfortunate weather however we made it to the Island safely with Robert as our captains. Fortunately it cleared up and we were able to try snorkeling and sub winging which was fun. On the beach we enjoyed a nice meal made by Robert’s wife and we had a much nicer ride back to the main land. Would definitely recommend this excursion!

Korey_B, Jul 2026

Staff and Service Was Outstanding

Our guide Manuel did an outstanding job on the ATV tour. He was patient with my wife as she had never ridden an ATV before. The waterfall was a nice surprise and worth getting into. The Zip line crew was outstanding. I’m terrified of heights and they helped me through the toughest parts. It was a great day.

Eliud was an excellent guide, bilingual and generous and knowledgeable. The weather and time of day (1000) were perfect, and we were able to navigate through a palm plantation and the beach. Eliud pointed out wildlife and plant life (like a sloth & hermit crabs!). And the beach portion was beautiful. Our group size was small which made for a personal experience. Would recommend!

All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island

Claire_G, Jun 2026

This was a good tour for...

This was a good tour for a wide range of travelers. There were several young families on this trip, there were older travelers, and there were people of all ages looking to party (but not overwhelming anyone who wasn't). In short, if you want to party, you can, but I wouldn't characterize this as a party boat tour by any means-- you can totally bring your kids or go as someone who doesn't drink. The day started at 7 and ended a bit after 4, with about 6-7 of those hours being on the island. The food that was served was enough to keep you from getting hungry, and there was no shortage of drinks. The tour staff are friendly, responsive, and capable. Brandon took good care of us, as did the lead staff member in charge (whose name I'm unsure of, I'm sorry). Whenever you want a drink, either alcoholic or not, it appears quickly, and the trash is whisked away equally rapidly. Unlike other tours I've seen, you don't have to choose between activities-- you can go snorkeling, banana boating (which we skipped in favor of lying on the beach), AND do a quick hike. (We did the short version, because the long version was rained out, and we still saw javelinas and deer.) Or you can do none of those things and just lie on your comfy beach chair under your personal beach umbrella. Toilet access is included for free, though tips are appreciated on the island. The island also has a small souvenir shop that has sunscreen and such for sale, too. The water wasn't cold, though I would recommend swim shoes, because the beach is rocky. My husband really likes boats, swimming, and lying on the beach, so he was thrilled with the whole outing. I like not being seasick but am highly prone to it, and if that's you, I recommend being among the first to get in line to get back on the boat in the afternoon so that you can sit on the top and keep the horizon in view (not that things were bad on the way out, because they weren't, but this kept me from getting even a little bit dizzy). We both had a good time.

5 Hour Off-Road ATV+ Zipline+ Waterfall Rappelling+ Tractor Jungle Tour

Jelani_M, May 2026

We went high

A blast. The sights? Breathtaking. Zip lining over a mile, for as high up as we were, was unforgettable. Great picture opportunities. The only thing, when doing the atv portion: give yourself some space between you and the person in front so you can rip the gas and get some real speed. Be careful.

This was a very fun and organized tour! We did the atv and zip line combo, which was so much fun. The guides are very knowledge and make you feel very safe. For the atv ride, you will likely get very muddy so do wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. You can jump in the waterfall, i wish i had brought a bathing suit and towel. The zip line had a lot of cool lines and beautiful views, it is definitely good for beginners as well

Our ATV tour with Jordan...

Our ATV tour with Jordan was truly a 5-star experience from start to finish! His positive attitude, incredible hospitality, and patience made the entire adventure unforgettable. He took the time to work with our individual skill levels, making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident throughout the ride. Jordan was extremely knowledgeable about the area, teaching us about the surrounding landscape and the local wildlife along the way. We were lucky enough to encounter a sloth and even spot beautiful macaws that he pointed out for us, which made the experience even more special. Safety was clearly a top priority for him, and he constantly checked in to ensure we felt safe and prepared at every part of the tour. To top it all off, Jordan brought us to an amazing local restaurant where we got to enjoy some authentic food and experience the local culture. If you’re looking for an exciting, safe, and memorable ATV adventure, we highly recommend booking with Jordan. Thank you again for an incredible experience! Pura Vida!

Zip Lining is AMAZING! Pura Vida!

This was my first time zip lining ever, and the gentleman made it a blast! They were very informative on what to do and what not to do prior to the experience, so all my nerves disappeared, and I had an amazing time! They were polite, funny, and super professional! I definitely recommend this place for your Jaco adventures!
