Top Costa Rica Safaris

We had a great experience on this zip line tour! The thrill was exhilarating and felt very safe! Plenty of parking on-site and close La Fortuna center. They had a safety training before the lines and many guides to help with the zipping transfers. It was rainy and a tad windy when we went but it didn’t change a thing. If anything, the forest was very very lush and vibrant green. My boyfriend is very afraid of heights but this was a must-do bucket list item. The first zip line was the highest and definitely took him a minute to get in the zone but the staff reassured him and he had fun! After the first zip line it gets easier and easier. Our group was comprised of all ages and weights. If the guides noticed that someone needed more weight to get across or maybe even scared, they go on the zip with you to make you feel even more secure! 100/10 experience and MUST DO! Fight your fears! You don’t want to miss this!

This was hands down the BEST excursion we have ever been on. The 5 activities in 1 - Full day was sooooo worth it. Started the day with a tractor ride to the waterfall rappel - 10/10! Then we zip lined through their sprawling farm where each one was better and more thrilling than the last. After that we had the most delicious homemade lunch. After a quick break was the ATV rides through the trails for an hour and then we went back, and got on horseback to so another 1hr trail ride. We got pictures videos and the learned some really cool facts about the animals, vegetation and farm life! We will be back to do this again and hopefully the new amenities (pool and glamping cabins) are available for us once completed! Jesus, Luis, & Ricardo were amazing guides. Tips: Bring small bags to carry items (waterproof is best) Wear clothes to get wet and comfortable closed tied shoes/watershoes Suncreen/bug spray a must! Know some common Spanish sayings to assist but the guides spoke English as well.

This is an amazing experience, but if you get motion sickness, you will need to take precautions or skip this excursion. A great portion of the drive is around Lake Arenal with extensive twists and turns, which can cause motion sickness. So, if you are prone to motion sickness, do whatever helps to prevent it, as the trip is totally worth it. The 1st stop at Cafe Macadamia has an amazing view of the lake and excellent food. The vibe there was chill with reggae music playing, cool/dry air, great service and convenient gift shop. The 2nd stop at Mystic Bridges was my favorite part. The rainforest did not disappoint with the variety of plants and creatures; we even saw a moving sloth! The walk across the 3 hanging bridges was such a unique experience and allowed you to see the depths of the rainforest. The clouds prevented us from seeing the volcano which was disappointing, but you’re either lucky or not. The 3rd stop at the hot springs was beautiful and relaxing, and we enjoyed drinks from the bar. The changing rooms are clean and they supply clean towels. The 4th stop for lunch at the hotel near the base of Arenal was beautiful, with delicious food and a much closer look at the volcano. The service was excellent and grounds were landscaped with tropical plants. Then, it’s a 3.5 hour drive back to Guanacaste hotels. Since there are no activities to break up the drive, this is where the twists and turns can really get to you. It’s a lot of time in the van throughout the day, but so worth it!
