What are people saying about Tamarindo

La Leona waterfall adventure hike half day

Jeanette_R, Mar 2026

Easy hike and great waterfall!

What a great adventure! Our guide Jason was fabulous. Very knowledgeable, kind and patient. He made sure we were okay and would check to see if we needed to rest. He also taught us some Spanish. The owner was also very nice, he checked on us when we were running a little late and once we arrived, he didn’t rush us. We loved having the waterproof bag, it was awesome. Supporting a local small business was a bonus and highly recommend them for your next adventure. Great day!!

Frogs-Sloths-waterfall-Coffee and Chocolate Tour

Ann_G, Mar 2026

Wonderfulexperience

Manuel,our guide , deserves 10 stars. He is the best driver I ever had on a tour patient and careful. He helped me through the climb to the waterfall and over rocks and tree roots so I was safe. His English is perfect and his manner exceptional. He had a camera and telescope that took pictures of birds, sloths, and other wildlife, and then shared it with each of us. He truly made the trip perfect. The experiences were very educational and so interesting. I recommend this tour highly as you begin to appreciate the bio diversity of Costa Rica. It is a long day but worth every minute.

Tamarindo Estuary Boat Tour

Dawn_C, Mar 2026

Lovely Boat Tour

This was an amazing experience. Both drivers picking us up and taking us back to Riu Guanacaste (Christian and Pablo) were very kind. Christian gave us great information about his country and the area. Our boat tour guide, Moses, was a wealth of information about the river and its inhabitants. We saw howler monkeys, crocodiles, crabs, all sorts of birds, and even a couple of cute raccoons playing. I was with my 4 grandkids and they all had a great time! I highly recommend but there is an additional travel fee if coming from outside the Tamarindo area so be sure to ask. The travel fee was very much worth it as we also got to see other beach communities with their own vibe along the way and went through the mountains.

Sloth Watching + Waterfall & Organic Coffee and Chocolate Tour

Alanna_P, Mar 2026

Interesting and fun!

I learned about the coffee and cocoa beans' processes and got to taste them! All our guides were great and answered my questions. We splashed in the waterfalls and I got great photos thru their viewfinders of the animals we saw... snake, sloths, toucans. The fish at the restaurant was delicious.

Sunset Catamaran Tour in Playa Flamingo

Lisa_A, Mar 2026

Beautiful!

The scenery was beautiful. There were 31 on board, a great crowd. The captain and workers were very friendly. We saw two whales but no dolphins. There was an hour and a half stop at a tiny beach for snorkeling. You can stay on the boat if you prefer. They offer rum punch, beer, and a pink flamingo drink as well as a variety of tacos. There is a bathroom on the boat. If you are outside of the pickup zone they will pick you up for a fee. I stayed at the RIU in Guanacaste.

This is a must do! We...

This is a must do! My family and I had a fantastic time! Christian was welcoming and accommodating. We arrived a little early but it wasn’t a problem, Christian was ready for us. He took great care of us. We saw local neighborhoods and beautiful scenery on the way to the two amazing beaches! Make sure you bring a bandana/buff. If you are in the Tamarindo area, you can’t miss this fun excursion!

5-Hour Guided Sunset Boat Tour in Tamarindo Costa Rica

JoDale_G, Feb 2026

Super day!

Arriving at meet-up point was a little chaotic, but everyone at the beach was helpful and pointed us to the right place. The time on the catamaran was fantastic. Great bartender and good food. We saw whales, stingrays and the bioluminescence of the algae on our way back to shore. Recommend!

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

Rachel_S, Jan 2026

Great way to start off our trip.

Cristian was a fantastic guide. He spotted some howler monkeys and stopped for us to get pictures and videos and the place that he took us to for Pina Colada's was so good that we went back on our own the next day for more. It was just me and my husband on the tour too which was nice. Would definitely recommend.

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.

WIldlife Canopy Tour with Transportation from Tamarindo

Gennifer_P, Jan 2026

What an exhilarating...

What an exhilarating experience!! It was my & my partner’s 1st time zip lining but our 4 kids had experienced it before. Zip lining in the rain forest was amazing! We saw so many monkeys and baby monkeys too! Our tour guides were amazing: Juan and Starling (hope I spelled that right!). Safety was a very high priority to them. I’d highly recommend this!
