What are people saying about Limon

Melissa_M, Aug 2026

A warm unforgettable evening with Josefina

We booked this cooking class expecting to chop and stir alongside the host, but it turned into something even better. Instead of cooking ourselves, we sat around Josefina's bar and watched her work, and it felt less like a class and more like being welcomed into a family member's home. Josefina was a wonderful host from start to finish. As she cooked, she shared tips and tricks along the way, but what really made the experience special was hearing her family's history and learning about Puerto Viejo itself. Its culture, its roots, and what makes the area so unique. It gave the whole evening a depth we weren't expecting. She sent us home with the recipes afterward, so we can try recreating the dishes ourselves. It was a genuinely wonderful, heartfelt experience, and one I would happily do all over again.

Puerto Viejo Sloth Jungle and River Kayaking Tour

Jennifer_P, Jun 2026

Book now or miss out on something very special!!!!

This was genuinely one of the most special experiences of my entire life! Our guide was beyond passionate, knowledgeable, and kind. We first began with a walking tour where he pointed out floral and fauna, as well as important cultural elements. After, we kayaked down the most beautiful river where he continued to educate us and point out animals we surely would’ve missed without him. I had never kayaked before, and now I love it! Our guide even found us a sloth coming down a tree from the river which is very rare! If you are thinking about booking this, you need to right now bc if you do not you’ll seriously miss out on something so special!

White Water Rafting Pacuare River with Lunch From Puerto Viejo

Allyson_L, Mar 2026

The BEST time!!!

We had the BEST time white water rafting. One of our favorite experiences while in Costa Rica. Andres was our guide and he was so fun and lively. We came from Puerto Viejo, the company picked us up directly from our hotel. It was about an hour and a half drive to the rafting place. We enjoyed breakfast and they had lockers to place our belongings. The rafting was so fun, be prepared to get absolutely soaked and to fully participate. It’s not a relaxing cruise down a river, you have to physically participate. It was an all day activity and at the end we were also fed lunch and able to change into a fresh pair of clothes. They then gave us a ride back to our hotel. We would definitely recommend this activity!!!

7-in-1 Combo Tour: Tortuguero Canals Shore Excursion

Zoraida_M, Mar 2026

A Beautiful Day in Costa Rica

The scenery was absolutely breathtaking—lush, vibrant, and unforgettable—but what made the experience even more special were our hostess, Rachel, and our driver, Alex. Rachel was incredible—warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment, even taking us out of her way to give us a local experience. That personal touch meant so much. Alex was just as wonderful—professional, friendly, and funny. He made us feel safe and relaxed throughout the entire journey. Together, they made the experience seamless and memorable. I would absolutely recommend this tour, and I’m so grateful we had Rachel and Alex guiding us through such a beautiful place.

Bribri Magic Chocolate and Waterfall Experience

Gianna_M, Feb 2026

If you love plants, history, chocolate, and waterfalls, THIS is the trip to take

Braulio is an amazing guide. He is knowledgeable, interesting, and has an intimate connection to everything he shares. His English is excellent, and he has a refreshingly positive worldview. The trip to the Bribri family farm was enlightening, and it was very fun to make chocolate from scratch...and then, of course, drink and eat it! The trip to the waterfall was truly something worthwhile. It had been raining a lot in the previous days, so the trail was muddy, and there were some stairs to navigate, but he was very patient and kind, helping us manage it all (literally - holding arms and keeping us upright!) so we could fulfill our dream of swimming in the waterfall waters. He has new, clean transportation, and it was extremely convenient that he picked us up and dropped us off directly from our hotel and another couple from their airb&b. If you love plants, history, chocolate, and waterfalls, THIS is the trip to take and THIS for sure is the person to take it with. I also loved that we were home by 1 PM so that there was plenty of the day left to do other things.

2 Hour Beach Horse Back Riding in Puerto Viejo

Beth_M, Jan 2026

Fantastic experience and tour

I loved every aspect of the tour. The owner is a genuine kind person. She had a calm energy. The mission of the ranch is to strengthen and plump up horse rescues. The horses we rode were healthy and listened well. The sight seeing and beach walk were one of a kind. Highly recommend!
