What are people saying about Costa Rica

Hallie_H, Sept 2026

Fantastic experience and wonderful guides

I had an amazing experience on this excursion! The guides are excellent - kind, welcoming, informative, and engaging. Every part of the trip was smooth from pick up to drop off. I even snorkled for my time - it’s included! Highly recommend this excursion. I was a solo traveler and felt completely comfortable and enjoyed meeting other travelers.

La Fortuna Waterfall, Arenal Volcano, Hot Springs Full Day Tour

Jade_A, Sept 2026

It was raining on the day...

It was raining on the day of my tour, so I was on the fence about going, but so glad I did! It was wonderful experience getting to see the rainforest in action and learning more about the volcanos here and resilient nature is. Both Manuel and Uriel were wonderful guides with so much knowledge and love La Fortuna! Highly recommend booking this tour

La Fortuna Waterfall, Hanging Bridges, Arenal Volcano Combo Tour

Joscilynn_K, Sept 2026

This was honestly one of...

This was honestly one of our favorite experiences in Costa Rica! From start to finish it was such a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Catalina (Cat), was absolutely AMAZING! She was so funny, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about Costa Rica—the land, animals, plants, history, and volcano. She had a way of explaining everything that made it so interesting, and you could genuinely tell how much she loves what she does. She truly made the experience so much better! We were lucky enough to see so much wildlife, including toucans, monkeys, owls, sloths, frogs, spiders, wild turkeys, and so many beautiful birds. Cat had a telescope with her so we could get a closer look, and she helped us take pictures throughout the day. She also took tons of pictures for us and sent us the amazing photos afterward, which was such a thoughtful bonus. Our driver, Gio, was also wonderful—very friendly, professional, and always getting us where we needed to be on time (actually early!). The bus was comfortable and had AC, and pickup and drop-off were super easy. The tour is definitely active, so be prepared to get your steps in! 😂 There is quite a bit of walking, including going up and down around 500 steps, and some of the uphill sections are steep. But Cat made us feel safe and comfortable the entire time, and it was completely worth it. Lunch was also provided, which was a nice bonus after all that walking! I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Costa Rica. You get to see some incredible places, learn so much about the country and its wildlife, and experience things you really can’t replicate anywhere else. If you get Cat as your guide, you are in for an AMAZING experience! She was truly the highlight of our day, and we left feeling like we had learned so much while also having an unforgettable adventure. 🇨🇷❤️

Dawn_G, Sept 2026

Epic Adventure!

This day trip was epic! Alberto was so energetic and took photos of us as we rode horses, went white water rafting, ziplined, and had a volcanic spa day! We stopped for a little breakfast on the way, were happy with the buffet, and they made sure we were safe and hydrated. A must-do! Pura Vida!

We had a great tour at North Fields! Pablo our guide was super knowledgeable and was able to answer all the questions that were asked. Trying the different types of coffee and seeing the process for creating the chocolate was so fascinating! Definitely a 10/10 experience and a recommendation to check out if you are on this part of Costa Rica!

Chelsea_G, Sept 2026

The best time!

And out captain Colon was awesome! Spotted lots of wildlife while floating on the calmer areas of the river also which was a cool bonus! The fruit stop was delicious and the food provided in our tour was amazing also! If you want to do any rafting in the area I highly recommend!!!!

Timarouba Catamaran Sunset Cruise with Open Bar Lunch& Snorkeling

Jennifer_W, Aug 2026

Great views, fun excursion

This was a fun sunset cruise. The views from the catamaran were amazing and we enjoyed the stop to snorkel and eat lunch. It was a little scary that the open bar was available prior to snorkeling, but all’s well that ends well? The boat guides were super nice and laid back - made for a very enjoyable afternoon.

Sloth Wildlife Experience, Coffee, Chocolate & Waterfall

Jennifer_W, Aug 2026

10/10 would recommend!

We enjoyed this tour so much! The waterfall on the way out was a great way to break up an otherwise long ride, and an extra opportunity to see wildlife. The coffee and chocolate experience was very engaging and interesting, and seeing the wildlife (frogs, snakes, and SLOTHS) was amazing. We loved our guide, Rudi, who was full of enthusiasm and knowledge about the animals and plants that we were seeing. 10/10 would recommend!

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

Allan_M, Aug 2026

Unforgettable Experience! Forever Memories

Just book it! You will not regret it. We had a party of 7, ranging in ages from 17 to 60+ and all of us were blown away. From Zip lining, horseback riding, cultural experience, to the water slide, all Activities were top notch. We felt very safe for all activities. Cedar was our guide and we started the party off right with the bus ride. Cedar was an excellent tour guide. He had us laughing from the second we met him and his enthusiasm for the nature in Costa Rica is unmatched. He picked us up right from our air bnb and was pointing out monkeys right near our house that we had never noticed. He was very patient with us and never rushed us through our tour. Finishing our tour with the hot springs was absolute bliss and a memory we will never forget. Highly recommend bringing smaller bills to tip the people assisting you on the tour because they are all excellent and make for an unforgettable experience. We’ll remember this day forever!

Canyoning Adventure Rappelling Waterfalls in Arenal Volcano

PaulaFrances_S, Aug 2026

This was such a fun and...

This was such a fun and adventurous experience for my active family (kids ages 10 and 13). Each rappel was different but all led to the large 230 foot rappel. The guides made us feel very safe and did not pressure you into doing the biggest rappel. They also made recommendations based on skill. For example, my 10 year old opted just to watch the rest of us do the biggest rappel and that was just fine. A must-do for those who love a bit of adventure and stepping out of your comfort zone in a safe environment. We have Keen type closed toe sandal shoes but opted to wear running shoes with good tread as the rocks are slippery. Happy we did. Also, prepare to get soaked and to hike. Would not be a good fit for those who suffer from knee/ankle problems or for those who are very out of shape.

Arenal 12 Zipline Cables Experience Fly over La Fortuna Waterfall

Nilufa_A, Aug 2026

Great Experience

This was such a great experience! You get to take in the entire rainforest while ziplining through the treetops. The guides were so kind, helpful, and professional. They made my family and me feel safe throughout the experience and made sure we didn’t miss any of the incredible views. A special shoutout to Brian, Pablo, and Aral for making the experience so memorable. Highly recommend!
