What are people saying about Jaco

Nathan_r, Apr 2026

Exceptional - Do it

Josue was kind, and passionate about his home. He showed us a wonderful time explaining the local taste, the foods, and some sites along the way. The day gets VERY hot so pro-tip: book a morning tour. Also, you're going to be pretty full after eating a bunch of different things. It was truly the highlight of the vacation.

Lara_P, Apr 2026

So much fun!!!

My husband and I had a great time from the moment we stepped on the boat until the moment we stepped off. Erin was our guide and he was excellent along with his crewmates who made the entire trip very enjoyable. They are constantly making sure that we were all set with whatever we needed. The boat ride was great, the snorkeling was fabulous, had so much fun on the boat ride and hiking. They served an excellent lunch and just made the whole day a pleasure. Would definitely recommend this trip to anybody who is interested and would myself book again with Costa Cat.

Mira_m, Apr 2026

The best waterfalls in jaco!!!

This is the ONLY waterfall experience you should do in Jaco. Jorge, the owner of the land and the tour guide is amazing at what he does. You get to explore beautiful untouched forest and waterfalls, swim in the fresh clear water, and learn about the plants and animals. This was a big highlight of my trip. Thank you for sharing your beautiful land with us Jorge.

Jonny_G, Apr 2026

1st time jumping through a waterfall!

We had an incredible experience! I’m an adrenaline junky and this definitely passed the test. Our guide Matt, was super cool and made sure we had a great time. The 20 ft cliff jump into the waterfall was the highlight! You literally jump through the falls. Thanks Matt!

2 Hour ATV + Waterfalls in Jaco Beach and Los Suenos

Rhonda_C, Apr 2026

Great fun!

It was great fun and challenging going up the trail in the rain, a nice hike up to the waterfall and then a cool water fall to jump into. William and his assistant were very friendly, funny and helpful I would highly recommend this site. William explained everything and they took good care of everyone in their part.

Jaco Beach Costa Rica Horseback Riding

Amber_O, Apr 2026

Best horseback riding experiece

This was the best horseback riding experience we have ever had! Our tour started at 4pm and it was nice to have just my wife and I do the tour together to feel more intimate. However, this tour would be amazing for groups of all sizes. Eluid was our tour guide and he went above and beyond to take photos and videos so we can enjoy the views and be present. Eluid was truly remarkable he made the tour so memorable with his knowledge and amazing personality I definitely recommend asking him to be your tour guide.

Jungle Crocodile Safari and Bird Watching tour/Tarcoles River CR

Katie_S, Apr 2026

Wonderful! Tons of wildlife!

I took my 3 year old on this boat ride by myself and it was absolutely wonderful. We saw over 10 small crocodiles and two large crocodiles, one of them completely out of the water. We also saw a ton of cool birds, including rosette spoonbills. The guide was so kind and they were respectful to the animals. Highly recommend.

LaDawn_M, Mar 2026

Great Service

Our driver was at the airport holding a sign with our name when we arrived so we didn't have to wait. He offered to let us stop along the route to souvenir shop and get some authentic Costa Rican food. He also pointed out some historic sites that we passed and took time to explain the history of some of the roads we traveled on. Unfortunately they were doing construction work on one of the bridges that we had to pass which made our trip extremely long, but that was out of his control and he did what he could to still make sure the trip was enjoyable. I would definitely use this service again!!!

Hike 10 Waterfalls in Jacó

desiree_s, Mar 2026

Beautifully Adventurous Excursion

This excursion was absolutely beautiful and full of adventure. Future travelers should know that if they have a fear of heights and/or walking on the edge of cliffs, this may not be the tour for them. While the views are breathtaking and the experience is unforgettable, it can definitely be physically and mentally challenging at times. That said, the tour guides (Charly and Jorge) were outstanding. They went well out of their way to make sure everyone felt safe, supported, and confident throughout the entire experience. If someone (me, lol) needed extra help or reassurance, they were right there every step of the way. Knowing how to swim is a plus, but it’s not required. Even for those who aren’t strong swimmers, the guides make safety a top priority and ensure everyone has an amazing time. No lifejackets are required. And just when you think the experience couldn’t get any better — after the hike, the guides take you up the mountain for an incredible lunch. The food was absolutely amazing. The chicken and the pork were so flavorful and perfectly prepared, it honestly felt like eating at a 5-star restaurant. It was the perfect way to end such an adventurous day. Overall, this is a thrilling and rewarding adventure — just be prepared, step outside your comfort zone, and trust that you’re in excellent hands.

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

Brooke_B, Feb 2026

Take your teens here!

Jesus took care of us all day, most important making sure we were having FUN! It helped that the two other groups were game to have as much fun as our 2 teenagers. Rappelling this during the dry season could have passed, but still exciting for us and we want to try again when more water flow. Zippling was a blast as we were encourage to go upside down, run off platform as we’ve done this a few times. Lunch was amazing and then the ATVs! My boys were thinking it would be boring —- it was not! As experienced riders we were able to use our skills and ride the course, go over rivers, take some chances within risks! If there was 6 stars for this I’d give it.

We had a great day. It...

We had a great day. It was long and I would recommend only if you are physically fit. Luis and Ricardo, along with Lassie and Punky as supervisors were great! It was about a 9 hour day. Lunch was very good. I think the efficiency between the adventure could have been better. We saw the same areas multiple times. But all in all a great day.

Bret_E, Jan 2026

Great excursion … good value for money

Well managed excursion company with excellent staff. ATVs were in good shape … you transfer to another location for the Zip Line which was new and shiny with amazing staff. Hellen was great confirming the excursion and great on the desk. Mary was a great host on the Zip Line. The included lunch was top notch and if asked … ask for the waterfall experience where you can jump / dive into the waterfall basin.
