Must-Dos in Tamarindo

What are people saying about Tamarindo

Bailey_L, Nov 2026

Definitely Recommend This Excursion!!

This was a fantastic day in Costa Rica! Would absolutely recommend for folks who want a little of everything but don’t want to do a rigorous hike. We learned so much about coffee and chocolate production and loved seeing the animals. Our guide timed the day so we first to arrive at the waterfall and had it to ourselves. Our guide Dayro was the star! He was knowledgeable, flexible , and so lovely to spend the day with. On top of the normal tour things, one of our people on the trip accidentally left a phone on the van, and an hour after he dropped it off, he kindly returned it to us. He was our hero!

Lisa_B, Nov 2026

Best hike..

Amazing tour! Adventure hike with few climbing ladders, ropes across a small river and beautiful waterfalls. Arnoldo was such a great guide- knowledgeable and friendly! After the hike had fresh pineapple, bathroom & outdoor showers if needed. Wear sturdy water shoes. A must do in Costa Rica!!

Punta Cacique ATV 4WD Jungle and Mountain Adventure in Costa Rica

Alecia_H, Oct 2026

Fantastic Family Fun

We did a 4 hour ATV tour with Allan and Andy today through the mountains to a beautiful beach, ate an amazing lunch at a beachside restaurant, and then rode back to our meeting point. Our tour was amazing!! Andy and Allan did a fabulous job!! The tour included myself (44) my husband (44), son (16), son (13) and every member of our family loved every part of the trip. None of us have been on 4 wheelers much but Andy and Allan made us feel comfortable and confident all day. They communicated which gear we needed to be in throughout the entire tour. They made sure to slow us down when necessary and encouraged us to have fun when appropriate too. There were several areas to have fun and splash if we wanted to. We also stopped at a roadside market 1/2 way through to grab a snack a drink if we wanted and use the restroom. It was a nice way to also support a local store in the community. It started raining 1/2 way through our tour (we went during rainy season) and we got drenched but my crew loved it and thought it only enhanced their experience. I would highly recommend bringing a rain coat, a waterproof lanyard for your phone, and a waterproof bags (or a trash bag to put your bag in) for any bags you to bring. We found the bags helpful for our towels, raincoats if we didn’t wear them, and our drinks/snacks. We also wore close toed water shoes like keens and found them to be perfect. Our adventure was the perfect amount of fun, exciting and relaxing. One of the BEST parts of the day? Allan took a ton of photos and videos for us and shared them all with us at the end for free!! That gave me the opportunity to truly enjoy the day and know I would have the photos to reflect back on for a lifetime! I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone and if we come back we would absolutely book with them again.

Adventure in Volcano Combo Tour! - Zip Line, Waterfall, Hot Springs and More

Megan_D, Sep 2026

Best bday ever

We had such an amazing excursion day with Carlos! I was expecting a bus, but it ended up being a private experience with just me and my three friends, which made it even better. Carlos was extremely accommodating and even stopped for breakfast to make sure we ate before all of the activities. Some of us were nervous, but he made us feel comfortable and safe the entire time. He was also very knowledgeable and shared stories about Costa Rican culture along the way. We got to experience so many activities in one day, and Carlos made the whole experience fun and memorable. Highly recommend!

ATV or Buggy Guided Tour from Tamarindo, Conchal or RIU Hotels

Brooke_K, Aug 2026

ATV fun with secluded beaches!

What fun! Don’t delay! Book this tour! Our tour guide Jason from 506 Transfers & Tours was great, very safe and knowledgeable! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the “back side” more raw view of Costa Rica while loving the two stops at Puerto Viejo and my favorite Bahia Piratas! What fun to each drive our own ATV through the back roads and experience these amazing secluded beaches and bars! The fresh pineapple at the end of the tour was a welcomed sweet treat! I highly recommend this tour for all groups and ages!

Tamarindo Estuary Tour

Christine_B, Jul 2026

We had an extremely...

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.

RÍO CELESTE COMBO: River Tubing+Blue Waterfall+Exotic Wildlife

Linsey_W, Jul 2026

10 out of 10

This day was the highlight of our trip. Carlos, our guide, had incredible knowledge of everything Costa Rica. John, our driver and was equally great at pointing out unique places, animals, and things as we traveled to our different destinations. The tubing was a fun adrenaline rush, and Omar and Alejandro made sure we were safe and had fun. Overall, this day was the best time! 10 out of 10

Costa Rica Guanacaste Airport (LIR) Private Departure Transfer

Christopher_M, Jul 2026

I cannot recommend this...

I cannot recommend this transportation service enough. From start to finish, everything was absolutely wonderful. The driver arrived right on time, exhibiting the utmost professionalism and courtesy throughout the entire journey. The vehicle itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable. If you are looking for reliable, high-quality transit, look no further. I will definitely be booking with them again!

Tamarindo Estuary Boat Tour

Martin_B, Jul 2026

Amazing ecosystem.

The guide/naturalist Carlos was the main factor for a fact filled and educational experience. Gliding through many branches of the mangrove bordered estuaries was amazing and peaceful. Wildlife sightings were beautiful but sparse. Carlos found a howler monkey family. Observing them was a highlight of the excursion. Bringing along binoculars makes observing birds, crocodiles, monkeys more interesting.

Rio Celeste Hike, Sloths & Llanos de Cortés Falls from Guanacaste

Sofia_D, Jun 2026

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

5-Hour Guided Sunset Boat Tour in Tamarindo Costa Rica

Kia_R, May 2026

Highly recommended charter !

Excellent charter experience. The crew are fun and welcoming. The owner ( a bit of trivia… ask him what episode of House Hunter International did he and his wife star in!) was kind and excited for his new adventure and business! When we saw the dolphins the crew stopped the boat so we could swim alongside of them. They went above and beyond to ensure an enjoyable trip. The boat itinerary was fun and amazing. We saw dolphins, fish, starfish, rays, beautiful water, and enjoyed a well prepared lunch, then on to sunset !
