Punctual, comfortable service, and 100% recommended.
I booked the private shuttle from Liberia Airport and the experience was 10/10. The driver was waiting for me at the exit with a sign with my name, was very kind, and helped me with my suitcases.
The vehicle was clean, with air conditioning and plenty of space. The trip was smooth and safe, and he gave me some tips about the area during the ride.
Communication via WhatsApp was fast and clear from the booking until the day of the trip. Without a doubt, I recommend it and would use it again. Pura vida!

The best of the best, Alejandro and Magda were spectacular.
The tour was great, we booked the tour arriving on our own and Magda greeted us, always with a smile, who accompanied us to the starting point and introduced us to Alejandro, our guide. The path to the waterfall is fascinating, especially with Alejandro, who is a very kind, polite guy with exceptional knowledge of his work. He made sure at every moment that my partner and I were okay, he kept explaining every detail to us, showing us things along the way and taking spectacular photos. Upon arriving at the waterfall, every part of the journey is worth it, which is not heavy at all. Alejandro is the clear example of someone who LOVES HIS JOB! At the end, the lunch was delicious, order your casado with fajitas. Finally, Magda accompanied us to the starting point, always kind, smiling, and warm, thanks to both of you, Pura vida!

Highly recommend
Extremely cool experience! Everything we wanted it to be! Our driver Eddie was very good (it's about 75 min of driving). The hike was fantastic and our tour guide Alejandro would outstanding! Our kids said it was the coolest thing they had ever done- waterfalls, cave, a natural waterslide, and a cliff jump! Terrific experience!!
There were some difficult parts of the hike that would be very challenging for kids younger than 6-7, elderly people, or those with poor mobility and stamina.

Amazing experience and Marvin is wonderful
We had the most incredible tour experience in Costa Rica, and it was truly all thanks to our amazing guide, Marvin. From start to finish, he was knowledgeable, personable, and made us feel completely safe and comfortable—especially on the hikes.
He created such a perfect, well-rounded day for us. We explored beautiful waterfalls, hiked through the rainforest, and learned so much along the way. One of the absolute highlights was getting to see wildlife up close—especially a sloth, which was my favorite! He even arranged for a local volunteer to help us spot and learn about more animals, which made the experience feel so special and authentic.
Beyond the adventure, he also made sure we experienced the culture. We enjoyed a delicious local lunch that he helped serve, which added such a thoughtful, personal touch. We also got to see how coffee and chocolate are made—such a fun and memorable experience! He wrapped up the day by taking us souvenir shopping, making sure we found great, authentic items.
What really stood out was his patience, kindness, and genuine passion for what he does. He never rushed us, answered all our questions, and made the entire day feel effortless and fun.
If you’re visiting Costa Rica, I cannot recommend this tour—especially with Marvin- highly enough. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip!

You will love Palo Verde Boat Safari
We had an awesome time on our Palo Verde Boat Safari. The boat ride was incredible. We saw several monkeys, unique birds, iguanas, crocodiles, & even baby crocodiles. Our guides Minisi & Noel were incredible-knowledgeable and funny. They took took a ton of photos for our group, too! We had the best lunch at a local Tico restaurant that included a cool pottery and sugar cane demonstration. Everyone was lovely and nice. We would definitely do it again!

Amazing Day!
We had an amazing tour with our guide, Dayro! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and great at spotting wildlife we would have missed on our own.
Rio Celeste Waterfall was stunning, and the Sloths and Wildlife Sanctuary was a highlight. We saw eyelash viper snakes, a tree frog, and even an anteater!
The van was very comfortable for the long ride, and the food was great as well.
Highly recommend this tour—Dayro made our tour unforgettable.

Great day trip
What a wonderful day trip. We started by having a delicious authentic Costa Rican breakfast at a local restaurant . The hike through the rainforest near Arenal Volcano was beautiful. Lunch was tasty. Nes was a great guide. The day ended with a couple of relaxing hours at the hot springs.

Amazing Waterfalls, Wildlife, and an Unforgettable Sloth Sighting
We had a great tour! The driver was friendly and the van had nice, cool AC. We did a short nature walk to swim in a waterfall, stopped for breakfast and lunch, and hiked to another waterfall. The highlight of the trip was seeing sloths and toucans, including a mom sloth with her newborn baby on her chest. My advice is to bring a poncho or rain jacket since the weather changes quickly. Highly recommend this tour!

A unique experience !
First, we were brought across the border to Nicaragua in a highly professional manner. First stop at Lake Nicaragua with breakfast.
Then we went to the town of Catarina overlooking a water-filled
Volcano cones. Another highlight: At the crater rim of an active volcano. The plumes of smoke were clearly visible and also smellable. After learning about coffee and cocoa processing (very entertaining) we went to the more than 500-year-old
City of Granada. The visit was very worthwhile as there were many well-preserved buildings to see. The city presents itself perfectly to its visitors. A very colorful cityscape !
Finally, there was a trip across Lake Nicaragua in a speedboat. A view of the islands of the "rich" and the wildlife (among other monkeys) rounded off the day.
A highly recommended tour, although the day was exhausting. I have rarely experienced such a varied tour, with a lot of information about the country and people.
Thanks to our guide !

Curated and managed trails/activities close to Liberia.
All activities are manicured/well maintained and prepped for high volume of people. So if you are looking for natural trails without concrete and stairs then this is not the tour. If you want prepped and safe paths, steps, and bridges then this is the tour.
BOOM was our guide and was awesome. Very informed and knowledgeable. As well as outgoing.
Hike was not easy but not hard. My athletic teens found it exhausting. Dry rainforest trail with plenty of monkeys, butterflies, birds, geysers, mud pits, and steam vents as well as a waterfall.
Waterfall hike was short but lots of stairs and two decent sized suspension bridges with max of 2 people on it at once, so may backup depending on how busy it is.
Lunch was tasty local food buffet with salad, fish, beef, soup, sweet plantains, and great mint lemonade (just bring some rum to make mojitos)
Then ended with hot springs which was 7-9 man made pools of various depths 1-3 feet and 98-113 degrees, where majority are 104 and lower which is ideal.
All in all it was fun considering it was only 30-45 mins drive from Liberia. Request Boom and remind him to bring his ukelele to play while you eat or have some hanging out times at the hot springs.
