Guanacaste Zipline – Safe & Fun for Kids 2+ & Families

Amanda_S, Jun 2026

Energetic & Excited

Absolutely incredible zip line experience! The entire tour was pure adrenaline from start to finish. The lines were long, fast, and offered unbelievable views of the forest canopy. The guides kept everything fun while making safety their top priority. I felt completely comfortable the whole time, which let me really enjoy the thrill. If you’re looking for adventure, this is the one to book. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Sloth Watching, Coffee, Chocolate & Waterfall Experience

Tracie_S, Jun 2026

Sloths, Waterfalls, and Toucans oh my!

We didn’t know what a great tour this was until we went on others. The tour guides provided plenty of opportunities to stop and see the beautiful country of Costa Rica. We even stopped on the way to the waterfall to get pictures and see toucans. Never felt rushed during the tour, but kept it moving at a good pace. Had a wonderful experience with Jose and our driver, Gustavo.

We are so glad we booked...

We are so glad we booked this excursion! It far exceeded our expectations. Guan was our ATV guide and he was amazing. He took us through various roads and trails, even stopping to point out the howler monkeys along the way. The views from the zip lines were breathtaking. All the guides were personable and professional. We all felt very safe. This was one of the highlights of our vacation and we highly recommend it!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Highlight of Our Trip to Tamarindo!

Our family recently took this ATV tour, and it was easily one of the best experiences we had in Costa Rica! If you are looking for a thrilling, high-speed adventure, this is definitely the tour to book. We absolutely loved riding through the rugged back roads and exploring the stunning, secluded beaches around Tamarindo that we never would have found on our own. A Huge Shoutout to Our Guide! Gustavo was excellent! He was knowledgeable, safe, and made sure everyone in the family was having a blast from start to finish. His energy really made the day special. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Whether you're an experienced rider or a beginner, it’s an unforgettable way to see the beautiful Costa Rican landscape. 10/10!

Discover secret beaches near Tamarindo on ATVs

Scott_H, May 2026

Great day- bring water and cash

Our family had an amazing day exploring the secret beaches near Tamarindo on ATVs. The rides themselves were just as exciting as the beach stops — cruising along the back roads, kicking up dust, and weaving through the countryside was half the fun. We visited three beaches, each with its own vibe. The first and third had spots to grab a cold drink (bring cash!), and the second beach was a stunning hidden cove with no amenities — totally worth the stop for the views alone. A couple of tips: bring plenty of water and a neck gaiter, because it gets hot and very dusty. These two things made a huge difference for us. The only downside was that the tour office didn’t have a sink to wash up after the ride. After getting absolutely covered in dust, we ended up using our drinking water to clean our hands and faces, which was a bit of a bummer. But honestly, the adventure itself was so good that it still deserves a full five stars. Overall, this ATV tour is an exciting, memorable way to explore Tamarindo’s hidden beaches, and our whole family loved it.

Rio Celeste Combo: River Tubing+Blue Waterfall+Exotic Wildlife

Patrick_G, May 2026

Carlos was a wonderful...

Carlos was a wonderful guide. We drove out to meet him from Hermosa, expected to be about 100 minutes. There was a wreck on Route 1 that stopped the highway entirely. We called and asked if rebooking was an option due to the issue on the highway. They said as long as we were not going to be more than an hour late, no problem or they would have refunded almost all of the money. The nature tour was awesome. We saw multiple types of life: poison dart frogs (up very close, picture quality is National Geographic with an iPhone) a tapir, multiple sloths( one about 3 feet away) toucans, a host of other birds, a couple of snakes, a baby viper and even a tapir from maybe 10 feet away. Our tour guide and the local site guide were so enthusiastic and willing to help with pictures for everything. The hike up to the Celeste Waterfall was worth every moment, easy hike, great views and incredibly scenic. It rained every 15 or so minutes but you are in the rain forest. Poncho not really needed. Lunch was the local fair and all in our group ( my wife, two daughters, 22 and 20 and one of their boyfriends were all thrilled.). The tubing trip through the Celeste River from the same water fall was not just a tube float trip. Class 1-2 rapids and you actually get some excitement. Rope swings, trees loaded with monkeys and the guides were fun. We had some local fruit ( so fresh!) snacks and were on our way to visit a tree. Do not skip the tree part! Some argue it’s 1,000 years old and others argue more. It’s humbling and amazing at the same time. Perfectly safe to do the drive on your own but take a 4wd if coming from the coast. Thank you Carlos!!!

My wife and I had a great time on our ATV adventure with 506 adventures and tours. Picked us up at our hotel right on time. Got us on our vehicles ready to go. Had a couple of nice stops by the beach for a water break and ended the trip with some fresh pineapple, which was delicious. Definitely recommended.

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.

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.

What are the best tours in Tamarindo?

There are plenty of high-quality tours and experiences in Tamarindo. According to previous travelers, here are the best tours to book right now:

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.
