What are people saying about Tamarindo

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.

La Leona waterfall adventure hike half day

Rosanna_E, Aug 2026

Waterfall Wonders!

We had a great adventure hiking to see the waterfalls, but be aware that it is not an easy hike. It can be done in good sturdy water shoes. Lots of climbing over rocks, tree branches and vines, as well as through the river of varying currents. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and our guide, Arnoldo was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and gave great instruction throughout the excursion. As he said throughout the trip “No worries!”

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.

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!

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!

ATV and UTV Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo and Conchal Beach

Darren_A, Jul 2026

Fun experience

We had an amazing ATV tour with Carlos! He was friendly, professional, and made the entire experience a lot of fun. He kept everyone safe while still making sure we had an exciting adventure. Carlos knew the area well, shared interesting information along the way, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the tour. If you’re thinking about booking an ATV tour, I highly recommend asking for Carlos. He did a fantastic job and made this one of the highlights of our trip

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.

We went on a sunset catamaran tour in Playa Flamingo on Tuesday 7/2/2026. Despite the not so Ideal weather for a sunset cruise, the atmosphere on board was relaxing, fun, and perfectly organized. A special thank you to our amazing Lazy Lizard crew, who made the experience even more memorable. They were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making everyone feel welcome from the moment we stepped on board. Their enthusiasm and excellent service created a fantastic experience for all guests.

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!

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.

CR Tamarindo Catamaran Tour – Sunset Cruise, Open Bar & Snorkel

robert_l, Mar 2026

Great sociable boat trip

Fabulous trip on a catamaran- very attentive crew and free flowing drinks - more of a booze cruise than a snorkelling or dolphin watching experience but thoroughly enjoyed nonetheless, if you’re after a gentle sail with friends you have yet to meet, a paddle in the ocean and a bit of a boogie, this one is a mist
