We had a great time on this hike! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helped us the entire way. Definitely more intense & immersive of a hike than it originally seems through the booking, but still a great time and very doable for everyone. Water shoes are definitely needed. We had a great time and it was our favorite tour that we did in Costa Rica! This is also the only one we are leaving a review for because of how great it was. Highly recommend. 10/10.

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.

Best transportation in Costa Rica!

We had an amazing driver named Dennis! He was incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, and respectful throughout our trip. He gave us a wonderful tour of every city we visited, from the airport to W Costa Rica, and made the journey so much more enjoyable. Dennis was always attentive to our needs, making sure we had plenty of water and everything we needed along the way. He was very polite, professional, and a pleasure to travel with. We would love to request Dennis for our transfer back to the airport. He made such a great impression on us, and we would be thrilled to have him drive us again! Thank you, Dennis, for making our transportation experience in Costa Rica so memorable! Joe and Angel

RÍO CELESTE COMBO: River Tubing+Blue Waterfall+Exotic Wildlife

Grace_B, Aug 2026

Adventure-filled day!

It’s a full day so bring some snacks and water bottles filled with water. Bring tips for the nature tour guide, the tubing guide and the all-day guide. The tubing can get rough if it has recently rained so the tubes should be clipped to at least one other. We went when it had been dry and my tube still flipped. If it hadn’t been for frebasio who tubed with our party, who knows the river backwards and forwards, I could have gotten badly hurt. He and Allen, our all-day guide, were wonderful. We saw several animals and native trees/plants, the gorgeous waterfall and a very fun time tubing the river with many exciting rapids!

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!

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

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 !

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!

Adventurous gorgeous river trip!

This is our 2nd time taking this trip (first time in low water season, now in high) and it was absolutely incredible. Our guide, Luis, was fabulous- a total pro who made us comfortable (even our nervous kiddo) and navigated us through some huge rapids with ease! It’s absolutely beautiful jungle and the rapids are super fun. Will do again!
