Awesome Bus tour
We celebrated my 55th Birthday and we had a blast! Aaron was a phenomenal host and even arranged to have a cake celebration for me at one of the stops I highly recommend this tour. We started off as strangers that later became friends who partied together!

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!

We had an extremely knowledgeable guide Juan Carlos who shared much about Costa Rico’s eco preservation as well as the animals we were seeing in the estuary- crocodiles, hawks, warblers, ibis, etc.
Even though it was a hot day, it was very pleasant in the covered open air boat. There was a nice breeze and shaded over hang in the estuary.
The cold water and fresh pineapple was an added bonus.
Well worth the trip into the mangroves especially if you are looking for different animals.

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 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

“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!

See costa ricas natural beauty in a day!
This was a long but well organized tour from our all inclusive resort inland to see the rainforest near La Fortuna. It was a good way to get a taste of Costa Rica in a day; we enjoyed some good food, our guide was very helpful on our hike and pointed out lots of wildlife; make sure to bring swimsuits for the thermal pools, we totally forgot and paid a fortune for some when we got there, still worth it though

The best experience!!
My husband and I had such a great time!
The guides were very sweet and made us feel very safe! I’m terrified of heights and I had a blast!
We went during the dry season so the trees were not green (so no monkeys while on the zipline). It was still very beautiful being on the mountain, just bring sunscreen!!

Great tour and so much fun
Our volcano tour was canceled, but they quickly found something comparable. Carlos our tour guide was exceptional. He went above and beyond. We got to hear some history of Costa Rica. We even saw monkeys and a sloth. Such a great fun tour. Can’t wait to visit again and do another tour.

Great sociable boat trip
Fabulous trip on a catamaran- very attentive crew and free flowing drinks - more of a booze cruise than a snorkelling or dolphin watching experience but thoroughly enjoyed nonetheless, if you’re after a gentle sail with friends you have yet to meet, a paddle in the ocean and a bit of a boogie, this one is a mist

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!

Fantastic!
Excellent guide (went above and beyond), & drivers. We had a wonderful extremely informative excursion, saw lots of wildlife on the river - TONS of crocs, many iguanas, entertaining white face monkeys, howlers, a variety of birds! Lunch at the hacienda was excellent. We could not be happier with the tour.
