Top Tamarindo Day Trips - page 4

This was great! We decided to drive ourselves and were navigated to a different company of zip lining called black stallion ranch but it worked out for the best because they had nine super fun lines of zip line. Would highly recommend going to the black stallion ranch zip lining. All of the staff was very accommodating and nice and didn’t have a single bad moment.

100% closed toes shoes! Bring your smile, you will have to best time with Sebastian and Alfredo. They were so patient with us, taught us about the Costa Rican culture. Along with the adventures of cliff jumping, white water tubing, and a nice hike to LaLeona waterfall. Then a great lunch at a local place.

Magical day exploring quiet waterfalls, hot springs, getting a volcanic mud scrub, swimming in a lagoon under a waterfall, enjoying a delicious lunch and making a quick souvenir stop. Mario did a fantastic job of planning the day to be seamless and crowd-free while helping us enjoy each experience as fully as possible. Well worth the money and 5 stars for anyone looking to pack a lot of Costa Rica into 8 hours!

Juan was a wonderful tour guide! The group size was fantastic, nine people. Both Juan and the boat driver were superb at finding wildlife as we cruised the banks. The lunch was delicious with very nicely prepared fish with local accompaniments. They were very accommodating for some strict dietary guidelines that one of our friends had. I myself have some physical limitations that they were careful and accommodating with concern about my welfare and my ability to enjoy the day. We would certainly recommend this to anyone and would consider redoing this trip if we return.

Great party atmosphere!! We had a wild time! This is a great tour to do if you just recently arrived in Tamarindo and are ready to party! The guide was fun and he always made sure that no one got left behind. The locations that you visit are all beautiful and different from one another. The bus ride home at the end was out of control - in a crazy good way! Bring a small cooler so you can drink on the bus. I wouldn’t recommend this tour for non-drinkers!

This was an amazing hike with an amazing guide. He will go at whatever pace you want and for me, that's huge. It is so private even if you pass other groups. The waterfall is beautiful and so fun to get to. It is for people in moderately fit condition but nothing ridiculous. If you do the lunch, it was superb! An unexpected surprise! The tilapia and the breading on it was better than I've had anywhere in the world which shocked me. Did not expect it to be as wonderful as it was! Also, they're are tons of other tours to this but this is genuinely the closest starting point so you dont have to stay wait long! I felt bad for the other groups.

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!

The trip was very well organized. There were 12 scuba divers and eight snorkelers aboard. As a first-time snorkeler, we got plenty of time in the water with an amazing guide (Lily!) and saw scores of beautiful fish. The water was fairly rough and swells were large, but the conditions did not hinder our ability to view many gorgeous sea creatures.
