From San Jose Zipline, ATV, Surfing and Chocolate Tour

BethAlly_F, Aug 2026

ATV and zip lining day

We had such a great day from the moment the driver picked us up at our hotel until he dropped us off. We loved the Atv Tour and got to swim in the waterfall pools. Our guide. Darien was so fantastic. The lunch was delicious. After lunch, we went zip lining and all of the guides were really great. Our Driver Diego was amazing as well. He pulled over to show us a Costa Rican parakeet, we stopped to see alligators and grab anwe stopped to see alligators and grab a snack, and he brought us to a local spot for the most delicious fresh ceviche. Would highly recommend this amazing tour.

Perfect Experience with a Day Trip

It’s an activity well worth the money with an outstanding guide like Hayro! Hayro’s vast knowledge of all locations visited was truly impressive. His pride in his country and being able to so eloquently share this with tourists make him a perfect travel guide. The volcanoes were shrouded in fog at the time of visit but the visit at Lancaster and the lunch at Lake Cachi more than made up for the weather situation around the volcanoes. We can highly recommend this day trip.

Zip Line, Rappel, Hiking La Carpintera Tour in San Jose

This was an AMAZING...

This was an AMAZING experience! The hardest part — and I MEAN the HARDEST part — was the hike 😂 Those steps seriously never end! I stopped sooo many times trying to catch my breath. But they tell you from the beginning that it’s not a race, go at your own pace. One of the tour guides stays at the back the entire time in case anyone needs breaks, water, or a few minutes to breathe. Once you finally make it to the zip lines, it is SO worth it! 13 zip lines and 2 rappelling drops 😮‍💨🔥 The guides give detailed instructions and make safety a top priority the entire time. There were even 3 children in our group and honestly… they did better than me 😅😂 Overall, such a fun and unforgettable experience. Definitely BOOK if you want adventure, laughs, and beautiful views. Happy zipping! 😊

A Must for any Costa Rica Trip

We had a great experience! Shoutout to Oxaney (tour guide) and Ignacio (driver) who were super friendly and gave us a day to remember! We had a great time seeing animals, ziplining, hot springs. Good food. Drive through the mountains at night was calm despite all of the windy roads Pro tip: Bring some colones to give to the native population as well as tips for the guides!

Pura Vida ... so true!

This trip offers much of the best of Costa Rica. Exceptional guides and drivers, especially Hayro and Tihago. We had one guide who failed adequately to translate to English, when the group was slightly more Spanish speakers than English but the day trip was successful regardless. Ziplining and White Water Rafting on tge Pacuare exceeded expectations. The boat coxswain, Roberto, was the best I've ever encountered. Hayro was very knowledgeable about fauna, birds, amphibians, insects and plants ... which made a stroll through the park a master class in natire study.

Wildlife Refuge La Paz Waterfall Gardens Day Trip from San Jose

Best tour of our vacation thanks to Harlan!

This was our best tour of our vacation! The park was fantastic, but as most of you already know, it's your guide that can make it a very special day. Our guide Harlan was beyond fabulous! He was extremely knowledgeable, kept us on pace and had an excellent way of providing both history, details of the park and making us laugh at the same time. He had the added task of speaking both spanish and english the entire tour and perfectly balanced this between our family and the other family. If you are lucky enough to have him as your guide, consider yourself blessed! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone considering it.

Adventure

Excellent experience if you are up for adventure! All the drivers and guides were great, informative, and helpful. Hotel staff was great. Would definitely encourage anyone to go. Know that you need to be able to walk a lot and often up and down steep hills. You need to be flexible as weather and traffic can change things. You will be doing a lot of traveling and often through steep curvy roads. Great Experience

Curi-Cancha Birdwatching Tour in Monteverde

Michelle_N, Jan 2026

Olger is the Best!!

Wow! What an amazing time we had at Curicancha! Our guide Olger was so wonderful, he taught us so much about his culture and the history of Monteverde all while listening to and showing us the birds of the forest! He shared the Spanish names for some of the birds we saw and even we we couldn’t see some birds he told us about their calls and showed us what they looked like in his book. He was kind, enthusiastic, and very fun. We had the most enjoyable and relaxing time.

Great price, great service

Excellent experience. I met the shuttle just past where the taxis are located. The bus was clean and air conditioned. The driver was very nice and extremely helpful. He took each person to their individual drop off point which I found very helpful. They also stopped midway for a bathroom break and a shopping opportunity. Great trip, great price, great service. I highly recommend.
