Top Costa Rica Day Trips - page 28

This experience was a great way to see lots of what makes Costa Rica special! Guide José and driver Mauricio were on time, knowledgeable, and courteous. I particularly appreciate the pickup and drop off as a solo traveler trying to see more of the country. The curation of stops was excellent -- we saw many animals (sloths! snakes! frogs!), got to swim in a waterfall, and tasted delicious chocolate, coffee, not to mention the great lunch at a local soda. Thank you for the great day!

A nice tour; not too long or too short. Just right. Our tour guide Marcel was very upbeat and knowledgeable. He shared a lot of interesting information about food and also the history of San Jose and Costa Rica. We tasted ice cream, fruits, tamales, frog juice, and we made our own sweet empanadas. Of course the tour ended with a coffee tasting. A nice introduction to downtown San Jose and its tasty foods.

I really enjoy the whole plan. Totally worth it. I joined a group of 5 people from different countries. It was a great experience. The only thing I didn't like was the driving from our driver. He kept pushing the gas and revving the car the whole way up (hours) in a very unnecessary way (without shifting gears). This caused dizziness for some of us. But still give them 5 starts.

This was a great trip. It was great to be picked up at our hotel. The guide was very knowledgeable. He shared a lot along the way to the gardens. They stopped along the way to purchase food, gifts and coffee. The Garden was beautiful but it rained the whole time. I didn't feel confident in the rain to hike the waterfall. The included buffet was good!

A long day but totally worth it. Our guide for the day was Albert. He was great, and explained everything in English and Spanish as we went along. It was a very rainy day and the volume of the waterfall was too intense for swimming, but the hike down (and back up) was beautiful. We opted to hang out in the café to dry off a bit because it was pouring rain, before we continued on to the Arenal volcano hike. Even in the rain, it’s worth doing the hike to the base of the volcano, but I imagine it’s spectacular if you are lucky enough to do it on a clear day. Albert provided facts on the volcano and was constantly on the lookout for wildlife that he pointed out as we trekked. For us though, the highlight of the day was the Mistico hanging bridges. Besides the spectacular scenery and the bridges themselves, there was plenty of wildlife to see including howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys, and even an eyelash viper. Beautiful place, and very easy to hike on the paved trails. We decided to skip the final stop at the hot springs because we had a day pass to one of the hot springs resorts the next day, and instead, had them drop us off at our hotel - Lost Iguana - which was very close to the Mistico Hanging Bridges. They were very flexible and agreeable about doing. Overall, a great day, and we slept like babies.
