La Leona waterfall adventure hike half day

Manali_S, Apr 2026

Beauty, nature and adventure…

We had an amazing experience! Arnondo took great care of us (family of four with two tweens/teens)! Some parts were somewhat challenging but he guided us through and made sure we were all safe. Wear shoes that go well on trails and in water. My daughter’s croc fell off a couple of times in the water, but my son’s were fine - make sure they fit securely. They provide dry bags to keep your items dry. You don’t need to bring much. We were even fine without drinking water. A great adventure with a beautiful destination! Ended with a sense of accomplishment. Highly recommend!

Sloth Watching + Waterfall & Organic Coffee and Chocolate Tour

Kathy_H, Apr 2026

The experience was great,...

The experience was great, exactly how it was described. Our guides, Gino and Orlando, made it top notch and changed things up on the fly as they knew what stops would have more ppl. The main highlight was seeing a sloth so close and allowing time to take pictures and not feel rushed.

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

Nate_S, Mar 2026

Safe, fun, adrenaline for the whole family

Everything we were looking forward to in the mountains packed into one awesome day- horseback riding, natural river water fed water slide, zip lining hundreds of feet above the forest, canopy walk, it was a blast for everyone in the group. I can't stress enough how the driver and guide took extra measures to make sure everyone was safe- on the way home after the experience there was an accident on the road in front of us, they went out of their way to make sure we were safe, made sure that we got home okay.

Poas Volcano waterfalls and coffee tour from from San Jose

Mary_K, Mar 2026

Multi tour

If you are crunched the time and you want to have a little bit of everything in one excursion, this is a really good excursion. I got to see an active volcano, waterfalls, and the coffee tour was actually surprisingly interesting. I didn’t know a lot of things and I’m taking all this knowledge back home to make better coffee. Our tour guide kept us safe. And I had to take beautiful videos of the waterfall. I really connected with nature. Thank you so much for a beautiful care.

Costa Rica Private LIR Airport Departure transfer

itmick1, Mar 2026

Travel with ease

Our private driver from… & to, the Liberia airport could not have been better. When we arrived, our 6 person van & driver was waiting…and after a very long day of travel it was a great way to begin our holiday. After our two week stay, Guillermo (sp?) was also, on time & made sure to find us at our Airbnb in Taramindo. He was especially, a pleasure to talk to & drove on a more comfortable road than we previously experienced. Thank you for making this a stress-less experience.

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

Craig_M, Feb 2026

Fun and friendly guides. Cool Experience

Our group of six people had a fun time on this excursion. The ATV's were in good condition. The guides were friendly and fun. They took us to several beaches and it was fun driving through typical Costa Rican neighborhoods. This was well worth the money and I would do it again. A few in our group said it was their favorite thing they did on our trip.

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.

Small-Group Zipline Canopy Tour in Tamarindo's Jungle

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!

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

Lois_L, Dec 2025

Fun ride to beaches

This ride was fun, and safe! Some of us were first timers, some were more experienced. It was fun riding through the dirt roads to get to the beaches. Our tour guide was great and he kept the pace just right. The tour company was very accommodating when one participant couldn’t make it last minute due to illness.
