La Leona waterfall adventure hike half day

Cavanna_M, Aug 2026

Loved Our Tour and Tour Guide

The instructional video before the hike was helpful. The guide was patient and accommodating based on our physical abilities and fears. We were given path options, which we loved, and we enjoyed the hike as well as the waterfalls. We enjoyed the guides knowledge of the foliage and the little stops to explain and show us insects, bats, cultural references, etc. We got more than just a stop to the waterfall and back. It was an experience to be remembered. The lunch/snack is just fresh cut fruit afterwards so come fed. If you can request a tour guide ask for Pablo…he’s amazing, funny and friendly!!

La Leona Waterfall Adventure Hike & Hidden Cave Experience

Ryan_J, Aug 2026

Highly recommend

Extremely cool experience! Everything we wanted it to be! Our driver Eddie was very good (it's about 75 min of driving). The hike was fantastic and our tour guide Alejandro would outstanding! Our kids said it was the coolest thing they had ever done- waterfalls, cave, a natural waterslide, and a cliff jump! Terrific experience!! There were some difficult parts of the hike that would be very challenging for kids younger than 6-7, elderly people, or those with poor mobility and stamina.

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.

Private Transfer Liberia Airport

Taj_M, Jul 2026

5 star transport/company

Very nice and friendly driver. Clean and cool (ac cooled) van. He even offered us a local beverage. Price was very competitive! I ended up using this company for 2 additional excursions during our stay. Not only did we recommend these guys to our family. My family compared prices with their current provider and saw this company beat their price for the same service.

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

Christine_F, Jul 2026

Fun, safe and convenient!

What a fun day! We booked this excursion because it combined the ATV’s with ziplining, so we did not have to schedule 2 separate tours. We started on the ATV’s after watching a safety video and practicing in an area to ensure we got comfortable driving them. Be sure to take a bandana to cover your nose/mouth or they sell them for $5 each. Then, our guide led us through neighborhoods and trails that got us to the ziplining park. The speed and travel path that our guide used felt very safe. We parked the ATV’s and were then outfitted for ziplining. We had 2 guides who explained everything and ensured we ziplined safely, while making it very fun too. There were 9 ziplines that were over beautiful terrain, and the view from the 1st line was stunning! A photographer joined us and shot pics and videos that you could purchase at the end. We then got back on the ATV’s and drove back to the beginning, but went on a different route. Everyone had a great time and felt very safe throughout the day!

Costa Rica Private Guanacaste Airport (LIR) 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 Combo: River Tubing+Blue Waterfall+Exotic Wildlife

Tracy_P, Jun 2026

This tour is a must!

What an amazing day spent exploring Costa Rica with Carlos! We had scheduled a nature walk, waterfall hike and tubing down the Rio Celeste. Unfortunately, due to a large storm a few days before we arrived, the roads to get to the waterfall hike were impassable. Carlos quickly pivoted and offered to take us on a coffee and chocolate tour, which we were planning to do later in the week. I was able to cancel the other reservation and the tour he took us on was perfect. The whole day was great, seeing many animals and wildlife, most incredible was a young sloth suspended only about 6 feet off the ground. The river tubing was so much fun and Carlos made extra efforts to get the photos and videos from the tubing guide which we greatly appreciated! Don’t hesitate to book this trip, you won’t regret it!

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 !

Zipline Monkey Jungle family canopy tour in Tamarindo

Meg_T, Apr 2026

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!!

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.

Stephanie_G, Jan 2026

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.

Are guided tours in Tamarindo worth it?

Yes, guided tours of Tamarindo are definitely worth it. Although it's a small country, Costa Rica has much to see, and it's easy to miss out on once-in-a-lifetime experiences if you don't have someone in the know at the helm. Most guides in Costa Rica are fluent in Spanish, and more importantly, Costa Rican slang words and phrases like "pura vida," "mae," and "tuanis" that they'll be happy to teach you.

Per one customer who booked the Rio Celeste Hiking, Sloth Sanctuary & Llanos de Cortes Waterfall Tour, "We had a great time on this excursion! We swam in the beautiful waterfall, had a lovely hike in the national park and were enchanted with the sloths. We had a range of family members from a 10-year-old to 65+ year olds, and it was very doable physically. The pacing of the day was excellent, and the lunch was delicious. It rained most of the day, but our host, Harry, kept us in good spirits. We saw lots of wildlife, including sloths, an anteater, toucans, butterflies, snakes, frogs, and monkeys."

How much do Tamarindo tours cost?

Guided tours in Tamarindo cost anywhere from US$20 per person for a night of semi-hosted bar hopping to US$2,900 for a private half-day catamaran cruise for four people. The most popular full-day group tours average around US$150 per person and typically include transportation and lunch at a local restaurant.

For a fun tour on the lower end of the price range, consider the highly rated Tamarindo Bar Crawl Experience for US$20 per person. While not all your alcoholic beverages are included in the ticket price (just some shots), you will be treated to exclusive drink deals and VIP access. More expensive tours include the best-selling all-day Volcano-Waterfall and Hot Springs Combo ( Private) tour, which costs US$190 per person. The excursion includes hotel pickup and drop-off, admission to all attractions on the itinerary, a hearty buffet lunch, and the personalized attention of your private guide.

What activities are included on Tamarindo tours?

While Tamarindo tours cater to an array of interests, many options are best suited for those who enjoy being active and outdoors. Surfing, fishing, horseback riding, and cruising by catamaran are among the most popular activities in town. If you want to venture further inland, you'll find excursions that take you ziplining, hiking, rafting, and hot springs hopping.

Consider an all-day or multi-day tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, the Tamarindo Surf Camp - 3 Days package is a great, more in-depth introduction to the sport that put this sleepy fishing village on the map. It includes three days of lessons, a board rental for the entire duration of your stay, a free shirt, and professional photos of you riding the waves.

How many days in Tamarindo is enough?

For most people, 3–4 days in Tamarindo is enough, especially if you plan on venturing further south to Manuel Antonio or inland to Alajuela. Unless you really want to master the art of surfing, you can easily get by with just 1–2 days in town itself. However, Tamarindo also makes for a picturesque and convenient base for day trips to Guanacaste’s inland volcanoes, waterfalls, and hot springs.
