Top Liberia Day Trips

This is a terrific tour. It has a mix of adventure with a some scenic easier walks. The Waterfalls are the major highlight. Carlos our driver and guide was knowledgeable about all the cool wildlife we saw. He took amazing pictures of our family and helped capture the memories for our trip.

A non-strenuous activity everyone can enjoy! Our guide Alberto was super knowledgeable, friendly and funny. We stopped to feed iguanas, visited a ranch and tried some fresh sugar cane water and coffee, and had a very nice pottery demo/class and tasty authentic Costa Rican lunch. After that we spent a long time on a river boat getting to see lots of wildlife including a variety of birds, lizards, crocodiles, and even got to see a family of capuchin monkeys up close! Super fun!!

Wonderful tour by Nesmer! Very kind and personable, full of information about the country, our tour stops, and the flora/fauna. His falcon-like ability to pick out hard-to-find animals was amazing. Very attentive to our needs during the long drives to/from Tamarindo including a couple extra stops along the way. Really enjoyed our The Arenal national park was amazing, a beautiful ecosystem unlike anything in the continental U.S. Very walkable with lots of up and down slopes on wall-marked and well-maintained paths. About 25 degrees cooler than Tamarindo, as expected, and it rained for much of the walk. For the hot springs, we were at a water park with thermal pools. We were expecting something more “natural” but a was a very nice resort with clean, enjoyable pools - very relaxing after many hours of driving and walking. Also had a good buffet lunch here. Did not include towels as expected but we managed. Overall, an excellent experience for us that we happily recommend.

This was such an amazing excursion that had a great balance of adventure and relaxation. Our tour guide Juan was the best and made it that much more enjoyable. I world absolutely recommend. Thank you so much for marking my 45th birthday celebration a memorable one.

I’ve booked many tours on Viator, but this one was by far the best! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish - professional communication even before the tour and flawless coordination throughout the day. I can’t imagine how much time and stress it would have taken to cross the Costa Rica–Nicaragua border on my own. The tour in Nicaragua itself was simply outstanding, a masterpiece of planning and storytelling. If you want to see all the main highlights of Nicaragua in one day, this is definitely the tour you need!

This is a great tour. Be prepared to swim, but it is so worth it! Even my 80-year-old Mom made it all the way like a champ (but she’s in great shape). Our guide Jason was great and we even got to see some monkeys in the trees at the end. Lunch was very good - classic Costa Rican Cosada plate cooked fresh. Highly recommend!

From the get-go, Verny welcomed us with open arms and made us feel immediately at home in his beautiful country. His genuine passion for wildlife was contagious, and we came across a baby sloth (highlight of the trip), many species of frogs, snakes, and insects. Not to mention, the rainforest and waterfall was beyond breathtaking. The trip consisted of only me and my boyfriend, so we got a private tour and Verny accommodated us every step of the way to match our pace and interests. He also took us to an amazing restaurant (Doña Carmen) and shared a beautiful insight into Costa Rican cuisine. Everyone we came across was so hospitable and respectful of nature, and I hope many travelers bring that perspective back home. What a beautiful way to celebrate my partner and my anniversary together.
