Amazing adventurous tour
I booked this tour last minute get out of Tamarindo and experience another adventure. This tour is completely worth it! Luiz was our guide and it was just my boyfriend and I and he showed us different wildlife and flora/flauna, he took us cliff jumping, to a smaller waterfall that locals go to, and he took so many pictures and videos for us. We had a driver that didn’t speak english but we communicated through google translate. He took us to a local lunch spot in Liberia. After eating we were so tired that we just wanted to go back to the hotel and he took us straight back. He was super nice and talked/showed us Costa Rica culture and told us about their Independence Day. Really great day!

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!

This was a fabulous tour....
This was a fabulous tour. Ian was an excellent and engaging guide. The three breweries we visited were unique and all three of us enjoyed all the beers we tasted. Which is a feat as we all have different tastes in beers. We would highly recommend this tour.

It was great! Definitely...
It was great! Definitely take shoes you don’t mind getting wet since we did have to step in the water to get in the boat. We were able to see Crocodiles birds monkeys and crabs! Carlos was also an amazing guide and showed he genuinely cared for the animals and environment of this tour.

Highly recommend the surf instruction here
Great experience. They were easy to find and we both got up and rode the waves. They knew just which area of the beach would have the best waves for beginners and more experienced surfers. If we come back, we will use them again. The instruction and knowledge of the beach was excellent.
Avoid buying smoothies on the beach though, one smoothie and two bottles of water was $50 US. The area does price gouge tourists on food, etc. a travel size stick of deodorant was $10 US.

This was a wonderful...
This was a wonderful experience. Note all the things they ask for you can leave on your car or at the starting point. We took it with us and would have loved if someone told us we could have left it. It was alot to carry. The views were beautiful, our guide Alejandro was great. The food was delicious too and the juice was so refreshing. We are so happy we made the 2.5 hr drive for this experience

This tour is a must!
What an amazing day spent exploring Costa Rica with Carlos! We had scheduled a nature walk, waterfall hike and tubing down the Rio Celeste. Unfortunately, due to a large storm a few days before we arrived, the roads to get to the waterfall hike were impassable. Carlos quickly pivoted and offered to take us on a coffee and chocolate tour, which we were planning to do later in the week. I was able to cancel the other reservation and the tour he took us on was perfect. The whole day was great, seeing many animals and wildlife, most incredible was a young sloth suspended only about 6 feet off the ground. The river tubing was so much fun and Carlos made extra efforts to get the photos and videos from the tubing guide which we greatly appreciated!
Don’t hesitate to book this trip, you won’t regret it!

Amazing! We went last...
Amazing! We went last month and I can’t remember our guides name but he was amazing. Very informed and answered any questions we had about the area. Honestly he was AMAZING. The sloth tour was amazing as well. Nothing crazy exotic but the guide for that pointed out all native animals and showed us how to take expert photos. Had a beautiful time and loved the food

“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!

Excellent day of snorkeling
Incredible experience, saw a white tip shark - swam feet away from 2 giant mantras!!! Lots of parrot fish, huge puffer fish. The staff and guides were are friendly, accommodating. I felt very safe and watched over while in the ocean. The equipment was clean and in good condition.

Highly Recommend!
We loved this excursion! Gabriel was awesome! He was so knowledgeable and engaging. He was very professional and personable. We learned a ton about the diversity of Costa Rica's flora and fauna. The hike was the fun and interesting. Lunch was yummy and in a nice setting. Our waterfall swim was refreshing and the mud bath/hot springs were relaxing.

Exactly the excursion we were looking for in Tamarindo
Our excursion with Carlos was absolutely incredible. The tubing and cliff jumping/rope swinging into the lagoon was so much fun. The second trip which included a jungle hike (we saw howler monkeys, snakes, and iguanas) and swimming through a raging river in a cave to one of the most beautiful waterfalls we’ve ever seen was like nothing we’ve ever done before. Our local lunch was peaceful and delicious before the final hike and massive waterfall. We enjoyed free coconut water and story after story from our guide Carlos, who made sure we had as authentically local of a trip as possible. He also provided water, tea, beer, snacks, and stopped for bathrooms/quick shops whenever we asked. Carlos could not have been a more fun or knowledgeable guide - if you are considering booking this excursion, do it. There is zero chance you will regret it. Pura Vida!
