What are people saying about Puntarenas

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.

Small Group Night Walking Tour in Monteverde

Vana_G, Aug 2026

Our night walk into the...

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 !!

Tortuga Island Tour with Costa Cat

Mark_R, Aug 2026

Just Go!

Dependable transportation from our Jaco hotel to the boat. Crew was excellent, very much service oriented and attention to detail. Boat slowed down on the way to the island to view sea turtles and dolphin. Light breakfast on the way was just enough. Once on the island, settled into our loungers and umbrella. Great location to swim, cool down and have a few drinks. Lunch was awesome.

Monteverde Night Tour: Glass Frogs, lateralis, Sloths & Jungle

Adele_R, Jul 2026

Spectacular guide and amazing adventure

The entire family really enjoyed this night hike! Our guide (Almond) was incredible at finding things for us to see, from the different kinds of frogs, stick bugs, salamanders, and spiders, to a bird’s nest with a White Breasted Wood Wren (adorable!), monkeys, vipers, and a lemur-like thing (cannot remember the name). He carries a spotting scope to zoom in on the animals and gives everyone a look. Even helps with photographs. He explains a ton and was very patient answering all of our questions. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend this tour. If we are ever back in this area, we will do it again!

PRIVATE Guided Walk to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve

James_H, Jun 2026

Monteverde WOWED Forest!!!

My wife and I had long dreamed of visiting Monteverde Cloud Forest and Rodiber was the perfect guide to show us the park. He was prompt and professional with communication, even helping us resolve a mistake I made in booking our entrance tickets. During the tour, Rodiber showcased his deep knowledge of the environment and its inhabitants, while also leaving space for quiet observation and wonder. The scenery was predictably incredible, but what stood out most about the cloud forest was the soundscape. Rodiber cued us to sharpen all 5 of our senses and spot a wide variety of plants and animals, especially birds. Thank you, Rodiber, for helping us realize this dream.

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

Puntarenas sightseeing tour

Dale_H, May 2026

Puntarenas with Hazel = a Great Excursion

We booked this as a private shore excursion, instead of the ones offered by NCL, in large part because it offered a smaller group size. This allowed us into some locations that a large tour bus could not go. (ex monkey sanctuary, mountain restaurant, roadside pull-outs, etc.) Our guide, Hazel, was excellent. She was well-educated and well-informed and gave us an in-depth and personal experience. She also would adjust some portions of our tour to fit the needs and wishes of our smaller group. Hazel brought along a spotting scope and used it to help us see distant wildlife that our cameras could not reach. Only "down side" was there was not a lot of time for local shopping. We would do this tour again if we re-visit Costa Rica.

10 in 1 Puntarenas Highlights tour

Wayne_M, Apr 2026

Puntarenas Brilliant Tour

This was one of the best Viator tours we have been on from a cruise ship. Hazel (tour guide) was brilliant and consistently explained amazing information about the places, wildlife and general issues related to Puntarenas and Costa Rica. We would highly recommend this tour for its ease of access, great vehicles and amazing tour itinerary.

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!

Double Kayak Bioluminescence Tour in Costa Rica

Rajiv_A, Mar 2026

Wonderful experience

It was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide was Mr. Johanny. He did an excellent job; very friendly, patient, and funny. We had never kayaked before. He taught us how to kayak and made us feel comfortable, even in the dark. We end up kayaking for 90 minutes. We highly recommend this experience. It is very easy to take a 3 pm ferry from Puntarenas to Paquera, do the activity, and take the 8 pm ferry back to Puntarenas. This is worth the money. There is not much else to do in Pauqera.

Monteverde: Longest & Highest Extreme Zipline with Transport

Tammy_B, Jan 2026

Amazing zipline, gorgeous long rides, Superman and Tarzan swimg

My husband and I did this in a light rain in January. Despite the weather it was still amazing! I felt completely safe and the zip line experience is through gorgeous scenery and moving between the lines is fast and still a beautiful part of the experience. You get the option to go Superman style twice and at the end there is an epic Tarzan swing. My husband didn’t do it, but I did and it was one of the most incredible things I’ve done. Very safe and not jerky on your neck or back—the kick is swinging outward and not like a bungee jump—just clean adrenaline rush. Totally recommend for best zip line experience!

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.
