La Leona waterfall adventure hike half day

Maria_C, Oct 2026

Hiking and all its little details

Jonathan was AMAZING! He was very professional and patient with us while showing us the way and all its little details! Would 100% recommend him to anyone coming as their first time! He also spoke English and worked with us due to time and traffic we got there a bit late but it did not face the experience one bit! At the end we were treated with the best pineapple and peanuts as a snack! Thank you for showing us achaquete experience 🩵🙏🏽

Punta Cacique ATV 4WD Jungle and Mountain Adventure in Costa Rica

Alecia_H, Oct 2026

Fantastic Family Fun

We did a 4 hour ATV tour with Allan and Andy today through the mountains to a beautiful beach, ate an amazing lunch at a beachside restaurant, and then rode back to our meeting point. Our tour was amazing!! Andy and Allan did a fabulous job!! The tour included myself (44) my husband (44), son (16), son (13) and every member of our family loved every part of the trip. None of us have been on 4 wheelers much but Andy and Allan made us feel comfortable and confident all day. They communicated which gear we needed to be in throughout the entire tour. They made sure to slow us down when necessary and encouraged us to have fun when appropriate too. There were several areas to have fun and splash if we wanted to. We also stopped at a roadside market 1/2 way through to grab a snack a drink if we wanted and use the restroom. It was a nice way to also support a local store in the community. It started raining 1/2 way through our tour (we went during rainy season) and we got drenched but my crew loved it and thought it only enhanced their experience. I would highly recommend bringing a rain coat, a waterproof lanyard for your phone, and a waterproof bags (or a trash bag to put your bag in) for any bags you to bring. We found the bags helpful for our towels, raincoats if we didn’t wear them, and our drinks/snacks. We also wore close toed water shoes like keens and found them to be perfect. Our adventure was the perfect amount of fun, exciting and relaxing. One of the BEST parts of the day? Allan took a ton of photos and videos for us and shared them all with us at the end for free!! That gave me the opportunity to truly enjoy the day and know I would have the photos to reflect back on for a lifetime! I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone and if we come back we would absolutely book with them again.

Great Experience and responsive in messages

From the booking, messages and drive was a wonderful experience. They were responsive with messages and confirmations. The driver was early even for such an early pick up. He was friendly and the drive was smooth. I would highly recommend them and would book again with them.

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

Brooke_K, Aug 2026

ATV fun with secluded beaches!

What fun! Don’t delay! Book this tour! Our tour guide Jason from 506 Transfers & Tours was great, very safe and knowledgeable! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the “back side” more raw view of Costa Rica while loving the two stops at Puerto Viejo and my favorite Bahia Piratas! What fun to each drive our own ATV through the back roads and experience these amazing secluded beaches and bars! The fresh pineapple at the end of the tour was a welcomed sweet treat! I highly recommend this tour for all groups and ages!

La Leona Waterfall Guided Tour+Transportation

Josalyn_H, Aug 2026

Family adventures

We were picked up at our hotel early on time and driven about 45 minutes with no traffic to a location where we then switch cars to an off-road vehicle. We wrote about 20 minutes and then we were able to use restrooms before we started the hike into La Leona. It was gorgeous. A Very very fun family day!

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.

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

markbaldwin82, Jul 2026

Fun family experience

Booked this for our family of 4 aged 10-43 and all of us really enjoyed the experience. The staff were friendly and professional and made us feel safe. Although not the biggest ziplines with the most panoramic views, they make up for it with a great variety of obstacles like the free fall jump, Tarzan swing, and bridges. We had a lot of fun. We did have a full group so there was a little bit of waiting between lines, but it is actually nice to have some time disconnected and free to talk in beautiful rainforest canopy.

Arenal Volcano- Rainforest - Hanging Bridges-Waterfall-Hotsprings

David_K, Jun 2026

See costa ricas natural beauty in a day!

This was a long but well organized tour from our all inclusive resort inland to see the rainforest near La Fortuna. It was a good way to get a taste of Costa Rica in a day; we enjoyed some good food, our guide was very helpful on our hike and pointed out lots of wildlife; make sure to bring swimsuits for the thermal pools, we totally forgot and paid a fortune for some when we got there, still worth it though

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 !

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

Terry_B, Apr 2026

Worth the time and money!

This was an amazing ATV ride. We stopped at a few beaches, saw some monkeys, and overall saw the culture of Costa Rica. I get nervous about ATV rides because sometimes the rides are really fast and we don’t get to experience much but this was one of THE BEST rides we got to experience. Christian was the best take us around.

Private Full Day Local 3 Waterfalls Experience in Curubande

Cole_H, Feb 2026

Exactly the excursion we were looking for in Tamarindo

Our excursion with Carlos was absolutely incredible. The tubing and cliff jumping/rope swinging into the lagoon was so much fun. The second trip which included a jungle hike (we saw howler monkeys, snakes, and iguanas) and swimming through a raging river in a cave to one of the most beautiful waterfalls we’ve ever seen was like nothing we’ve ever done before. Our local lunch was peaceful and delicious before the final hike and massive waterfall. We enjoyed free coconut water and story after story from our guide Carlos, who made sure we had as authentically local of a trip as possible. He also provided water, tea, beer, snacks, and stopped for bathrooms/quick shops whenever we asked. Carlos could not have been a more fun or knowledgeable guide - if you are considering booking this excursion, do it. There is zero chance you will regret it. Pura Vida!
