This tour was everything we could have wanted. We had so many unique genuine interactions with the local people of Costa Rica. Our tour guide was amazing & let us know in detail all the interesting facts of his country. The lunch we had on the top of a hill with a view was the most delicious authentic meal of our whole trip😎

Tortuga Island Tour with Costa Cat

Alex_S, Oct 2026

Incredible Day!!!!!!

We had the most incredible day!! The CostaCat crew are next level. Attentive and so so nice. There was an abundance of water and drinks. You dock on a stunning private beach on the island. The tour includes beach chairs, umbrellas and the toilets are clean and free :) In addition to relaxing on the beach and swimming in the gorgeous turquoise water we snorkeled, went on a banana boat ride and hiked the Island. The boat to and from the island was also so much fun. We loved every minute of our day.

Puntarenas sightseeing tour

Patricia_L, Oct 2026

Good excursion

A lot of interesting things to see and learn about Costa Rica. Our guide Carlos and driver Ricardo were great. Carlos was informative, funny and engaging and Ricardo was a safe driver. Our second to last stop for drinks/lunch was a nice location up high with a great view. Food was good quality but make sure you order early. There were 2-3 odyssey tour mini buses and ours took so long to come we didn’t feel comfortable going to the last stop in Punteranas in case we missed the last shuttle. There is a delay in the shuttle to the ship as they go through multiple layers of security. Feedback about faster service when there are 50+ people has been provided to Carlos.

From Puntarenas: Turtle Island Day Tour

Bob_M, Aug 2026

Inside Tours was great

Overall, this was great. The company was great and their guides were great (Percy was excellent)! This is no knock on them but we felt the full day was too long to be on that beach. I wouldn't recommend doing the hike on the island. It's $7 each and you get one good view from above, but overall I wouldn't recommend doing that.

Our night walk into the cloud forest jungle was an incredible experience. We saw everything imaginable and more, and we learned so much from our guide. The Nasua Tours Team was wonderful and we couldn't have asked for a better guided night walk. Everyone of our group is still talking about it... Highly recommend !!

Very organized group of tour guides, awesome crew, pickup was timely and efficient. Crew was very prepared and made us feel safe, cutting up fruit and making the experience overall great. The boat ride was comfortable and fun, there was good shade. Snorkeling was also very fun, we went to 2 spots and saw some cool fish. Lunch was fine but we had complimentary beers/soda all day and relaxed on isla tortuga. An amazing day, would definitely recommend

Turtle Island, from Puntarenas, snorkeling and lunch included!

CHRISTIANA_M, May 2026

Snorkeling, Swimming, Wildlife Sightings

I booked this tour as a Shore Excursion as our cruise-line did not offer tours of interest to me. The tour guide contacted me a day earlier providing details/information regarding the tour and meeting points which was convenient. I arranged the pick up location outside the cruise pier. Once we got to our meetup point we got a message that our taxi was arriving, which took us to Coco’s Tours Restaurant. There were variety of drinks to purchase and restroom facilities if needed. We got into a large speed boat and went to spot bottle neck dolphins. After seeing some dolphins we went to a nearby island and spotted some spider monkeys. After that we went to a small island area and snorkeled for about half hour. After that we went to Turtle Island that has a small beach area. There were beach chairs with umbrellas for rent, a bar to buy drinks, souvenir shop etc. Upon arrival around 1100am, we were offered some fruit and drinks, juices, cold water (free) and later around 1::00 pm had nice lunch, choices of either fish or chicken. I purchased a few local drinks at the bar. Highly recommend local bar for alcoholic drinks. At the island we saw some deers and wild boars. We left around 2:30pm and arrived back to Cocos Restaurant at 3:30pm. We were welcomed and offered refreshing cold drinks and then driven back to cruise pier/ original meet up point. I enjoyed this tour very much.

Puntarenas Shore Excursion: Rainforest Skywalk & Tarcoles River

Robert_H, Apr 2026

Lots of crocs

This is a great experience to combine the crocodile river tour with the rainforest sky walk and hike. Our guides were super knowledgeable and took us to areas where they knew that some of the Scarlet Macaws would be. As well as seeing. 10+ crocodiles, we saw a Tucan, a sloth, various monkeys, frogs, lots of different birds and lots of fauna. This was an excellent excursion for wildlife and nature fans!

Shore Excursion Puntarenas: Mega Zipline (18 Cables, 11 Falls)

jacqueline_T, Apr 2026

Daniel, Wagner and Philip were the BEST!

We are in our mid and upper 60s and were able to do this, but it is very challenging and there is a lot of steep uneven terrain. We keep ourselves in pretty good shape so no problems but I would be cautious if you are not very fit. The guides were very friendly, our ship was late, but they waited for us at the port and the driver had a great attitude when he picked us up, even though he had waited for quite a long time in the heat. They couldn’t keep our group waiting at the zip lines so they sent them off without us, but then had other guides ready to go when we got there! They really went out of their way to accommodate us and make sure we had a great time! We highly recommend this tour. The views are beautiful. The terrain and countryside are amazing and we even got to play with monkeys!

3 hours of Longest & Highest Extreme Zipline in Monteverde

Desirae_D, Mar 2026

Amazing views and guides! So fun!

This experience was so fun and well managed! Though sometimes I was scared, I felt safe the whole time. The Tarzan Swing was the scariest thing I've ever done, but the guides were so kind and patient, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. The views were breathtaking. I'd recommend wearing shorts/pants long enough to protect from the harness, and a t shirt or jacket to protect from the lines and chilly weather (we ended up having to buy sweatshirts from the gift shop). Closed toe shoes are a must! We had a great time and it's a must do when in Costa Rica!

Poas Volcano and La Paz Waterfall Gardens Private Tour

Debra_C, Mar 2026

Best tour yet

This was an incredible tour that we would recommend to anyone that was not afraid of walking. We had a wonderful guide in Anna and a fantastic driver , Marvin. We managed to arrive at the top of the volcano only 10 minutes before the cloud started to fill the crater bowl. We feel very privileged to have seen it in all its glory before it was completely covered. The waterfalls were incredible and the buffet was very enjoyable.

Extreme Zipline tour in Monteverde

Sebastian_I, Jan 2026

Great experience in Monteverde!

This is an amazing experience to do in Monteverde, totally recommend it. The superman zip lines are incredible and also the Tarzan swing, the other ones are more normal and similar to other that you may have done in the past, but only for the ones that I mentioned is worth it. One thing that I would recommend is to do it on a day that the weather is favourable, I did it with strong winds and a bit of rain and this was a bit uncomfortable, so take that in consideration, also another recommendation try to bring dark or old clothes since they can get a bit dirty.
