What are people saying about Tamarindo

Jordan_M, May 2026

This was a great tour....

This was a great tour. The tubing was our favorite part but all day was great. Carlos was our guide and did an incredible job guiding us all day. On the river we saw monkeys, sloths and many birds. We got to see all of those again at the nature reserve as well!

Sloth Watching, Coffee, Chocolate & Waterfall Experience

Nedra_F, Apr 2026

Great Experience! Highly Recommend!

Such a great experience for my husband and I! The pickup was right on time and we got back to our hotel as expected. I can't put into words how wonderful the three excursions were. The tour guides did an excellent job sharing the history of each location and helping us understand. Top notch team!

La Leona waterfall adventure hike half day

Robert_G, Apr 2026

La Leona waterfall hike/tour

The experience was excellent and we highly recommend it. The only problem was that we thought we were getting picked up at 9:30 am and that was instead the start time of the program, so our driver was ready for us at 7am. It’s a bit of a technical hike but not too strenuous and the river crossings and tunnels/caves were a blast. Our guide Samuel was outstanding in every way.

ATV or Buggy Guided Tour from Tamarindo, Conchal

William_A, Apr 2026

Fun and exciting for my...

Fun and exciting for my 16 old son and his friends and for myself and adult friends. Our guides were great! Visiting the private, secluded beach was our favorite part. Make sure you purchase or bring something to cover nose and mouth. It is very dusty during the dry season. This was the kids favorite activity of the trip.

Small-Group Zipline Canopy Tour in Tamarindo's Jungle

Brian_R, Apr 2026

Amazing for Little Kids (5 & 8)

Went with our two kids -- 5 and 8 years old -- this was the highlight of their trip. The zipline guides were super nice guys, cautious, responsible, and made the kids feel comfortable. Also, this was not crowded at all -- it was just us and another family of four -- had an absolutely amazing time.

Frogs-Sloths-waterfall-Coffee and Chocolate Tour

nshuco, Apr 2026

Great tour. We were 3...

Great tour. We were 3 sisters joined by another couple. Stopped at a waterfall where there was an option to swim. Next we traveled to a coffee and chocolate farm where we learned about the plants, the process and sampled the coffee and cacao. Our next stop was the nature preserve where we had lunch (very good) and toured the animal preserve. The walk around the preserve was very easy and our guide Stephanie was excellent at spotting animals. She had binoculars and a telescope on a tripod we could use as well. Saw 4 sloths, 2 babies, frogs, and birds.

Costa Rica Private Guanacaste Airport (LIR) Departure transfer

Danielle_S, Apr 2026

Airport transfer couldn’t be better

We used this service from and back to the airport. They were very responsive via email to schedule and confirm before the trips. Also, when I couldn’t find the driver in the airport and needed to contact them on the fly, which I really appreciated because that was a little stressful. Turned out the driver waited by the side door and I only looked outside the front door. Pick up at the hotel was exactly on time - always a concern with a long drive and early flight. All in all great service with both drivers.

Poas Volcano waterfalls and coffee tour from from San Jose

Abigail_P, Mar 2026

Fun family trip

We had a lovely time with Charly leading our tour. The coffee plantation experience was really informative. We got to pick actual coffee beans and process them, producing, what my coffee loving husband claims is one of the best cups of coffee he has ever had in his life. Charly was really on top of the weather patterns at the volcano and had us wait for the perfect view of the Poás crater. We even met a coati at the beautiful water fall! Shout out to the tasty lunch, too! Top quality casado and really good drinks.

Incredible sunset from the water

Wonderful catamaran cruise and great snorkeling! The boat was big and even though there were a number of people on the cruise, it didn't feel crowded. The snorkeling was fantastic and we got to see a lot fish! The sunset was absolutely stunning! Definitely worth the money and a great experience.

ATV and Zipline Combo Tour from Tamarindo or Conchal or Riu Hotel

Warren_B, Jan 2026

We highly recommend this...

We highly recommend this combination of ATV touring and zip lining. My wife and I each drove our own ATVs. There was instruction and a little practice area that allowed us to become familiar with the vehicles. Our Tour Leader, Hilmar, was WONDERFUL and provided great instruction. The ride up to the zip lining course took about 25 minutes. There were two guides who expertly led us down the 9 different zip lines. The duration was about 45 minutes. At the bottom, Hilmar was waiting with our ATVs, to lead us on the 25 minute trip back to main office. The ATV ride is very dusty. Definitely wear a bandana across your face and clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty.
