We had an amazing...
We had an amazing experience with our surf lesson! The instructor was incredibly patient, encouraging, and made us feel comfortable from the moment we stepped onto the beach. They explained everything clearly, focused on safety, and made learning so much fun. By the end of the lesson, we were standing up on the board and riding waves. We would absolutely book another lesson!

Great tour but stay away from the Smoothies.
The atv tour on quads was alot of fun. It should be longer to spend some more time on the beaches. The tour guide was friendly and easy to get along with.
Do not get a smoothie at the little beach bar at the end of play conchol unless you want food poisoning. I suffered for 2.5 days by making that mistake. Bad mangoes, poor food safety or a combination of both. Stick to a bottle of water or coke.

I did this experience...
I did this experience with my mum who was quite scared and not the best with her balance. The guides were very confident with safety and super patient with her. Would recommend.

Best Sunday Funday Option!
Cousins trip with a group of 8! By far one of their favorite excursions. The beaches and pools made it much better than a bar crawl. The host was cool as ish and knew how to mix the music. By the end we had new friends and planning next trips. Definitely recommend!

Large family
We had 6 first time surfers in our family. They did an amazing job, they prepared to have plenty of instructors on hand who spoke English enough to communicate effectively with our kids. Speaking of, our 4 older teen to adult kids had a blast. Thank you again for a wonderful morning surf.

UTV tour from Huacas to the beaches.
We started in Huacas in our 4 seater UTV. We drove through several rural villages on the way to the beaches and we were able to see rural Costa Rica. We did drive through a couple flooded areas in the road.
We drove to Playa Real and Puerto Viejo. The beaches were very nice and we swam for a bit at each one. (We wore our swimsuits under our clothes.)
It was an enjoyable tour. This is not an offroading experience.

“Mom’s First Zip Line Experience and the Crew Was Everything”
Great experience: We did this as a family of five, a teen, three adults, and my mom who is in her 70s and had never been zip lining before! Costa Rica was already on her bucket list, but this tour made it truly special.
The crew was amazing. They were so kind and patient with my mom, cheering her on and helping her through every single zip line . Couldn’t recommend this enough!

Solid review
We went to three different beautiful beaches north from tamarindo, each one so unique. The second one we stopped a bar/restaurant that was so peaceful, picture perfect. The third beach had beautiful white sand with an incredible view. The dirt roads cause a lot of dust to fly up, so make sure to cover your mouth and your eyes well!
Only thing that would have made it five stars for me personally, was since there was only 2 of us, going faster would have made it a lot more fun.

Girls Trip
Don’t wear nice clothes, wear dark clothes as you may get dirty. The views are amazing and the staff is so courteous and knowledgeable! This was so much fun!

It was a great...
It was a great experience. It was one of our plans for our family vacation. 3 of us, 3 different ages and 3 different levels. Still they made it totally smooth, our son was surfing and my husband and I got to stand on the board. Lots of fun and personal push! We will look for them again when we go back to CR. Thank you guys
