What are people saying about Costa Rica

Christina_J, Jun 2026

So cool!

Can’t say enough about Santiago’s expertise and patience. Our family of 5 (daughters 13, 11, 6) had a great hike, learned a ton, saw so much wildlife, and had a delicious Casado lunch. 1000/10 experience all around. I would listen to Santiago share his knowledge every day! The only thing that I would share is that the portions of the drive without Santiago in the car were a bit terrifying. We are used to Costa Rica roads and driving (having been here the past 4 weeks), but it was next level nerve-wracking. My daughter got sick and even my hearty husband (who is fearless) was surprised at the speed and recklessness, especially on the speed bumps (topes). Maybe it was just an off day for us and the driver?! However, he did drive much safer when Santiago was aboard the van. Overall, I wouldn’t negatively judge this tour off of one experience and I’d wholeheartedly do this tour again, even with an interesting driving situation.

Jorge and Jorge were...

Jorge and Jorge were amazing, so friendly and accommodating! The facility and adventure crew were also very curtious and made the experience run smoothly! It was just my 8yr old and I on this trip so, as a women, safety was a big concern for me. I never once felt unsafe! 10/10 for the whole experience!

Whitewater Rafting Savegre Class II-III plus Waterfall Manuel Antonio

Karen_R, Jun 2026

Fun tour, very accommodating

First time water rafting with my 8 and 10 year old kids and they loved it. The rapids were not too strong and there were calm breaks in between. Our guide Jason was funny and very informative on the rides to and from the rapids. Our guide Elmer who guided our raft was very nice and funny. The waterfall during our break from the rapids was the cherry on top. Absolutely beautiful and completely kid friendly. They offered juicy sweet pineapple and delicious local crackers as a snack while at the waterfall. The guides made clay masks from the waterfall rocks and shared with everyone. They also provided lunch at the end of the trip back to their headquarters and the meal was delicious. The whole was great. Highly recommend.

Marlin del Rey Catamaran – Tamarindo & Playas del Coco

Chris_D, Jun 2026

Beautiful view and Good vibes

Super fun! Don't let a rainy day scare you away. It was raining the day we were supposed to go on our cruise but the captain said we were still all good to go and we are glad we listened. There is only 35 people on board because a bunch of them bowed out because of the weather. Their loss was our gain. About 25 minutes into the cruise the weather cleared up and it was absolutely beautiful. They took us to a private beach that you can only get to by boat. We got to swim out from the catamaran to the beach have a nice long walk and swim in the ocean. Drinks were flowing and Good vibes were there! Definitely recommend

San Jose Walking and Bus City Tour

DRPATRICK_W, Jun 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Introduction to San José!

This walking and bus city tour is the perfect way to experience Costa Rica's capital. The combo of bus and walking sightseeing hits all the key spots — National Theater, Art Museum, Central Market, and public plazas — without wearing you out. Our guide was an art historian with incredible knowledge of the city's history, and the traditional Costa Rican lunch included in the tour was a highlight on its own. The guitar player on the bus was a fun touch that set the mood from the start. Tips for future travelers: Wear comfortable shoes, bring a small umbrella, and don't skip the Central Market — just wish we had more time there! Ideal for first-timers. Highly recommend!

We highly recommend this...

We highly recommend this experience! The crew was super professional and handled everything smoothly. It was a fun, energetic vibe throughout. The bar service was fantastic, we enjoyed the break for snorkeling, and the cruise back to watch the sunset was perfectly timed. This felt like a really good value and we left with great memories!

Isla Tortuga Snorkeling Tour

Judy_H, May 2026

Definitely snorkel with El Gecko!!

If you love boats, swimming and snorkeling this is a definite must do! Our guides showed us beaches, rocks and pelicans before we anchored to snorkel. We tried two spots and were given a lot of time to look at the colourful fish. We were taken to a private beach where we were served fresh fruit, drinks and lunch. They took great care to find an alternative lunch for 2 of us who can’t have gluten. Very much appreciated. We were given the perfect amount of time to explore the beach before we had to head back. We couldn’t speak the same language as our guides and it worked out just fine. We preferred this company as we were not a part of the busy beach and larger groups. Well worth it!

This was a wonderful...

This was a wonderful experience! The crew on the boat were so kind and accommodating, they were constantly checking in to see if we needed anytbing. The boat was clean and spacious despite all the people on board. The boat docked at a private beach where we were able to swim and snorkel. I would highly recommend this experience!!

Amazing day snorkeling - no need to look elsewhere for a perfect day

Amazing day with expert guides who looked after everyones safety alongside their expert knowledge of the area which helped us see turtles, rays and sharks as well as schools of fish of all shapes & sizes. Two completely differing snorkeling locations - a lovely break on the beach and a delicious lunch shared with everyone at the end. 100% recommended for a fantastic day

Sun, Sea, and Super Service!

There are plenty of cruise options in the Manuel Antonio area, but this crew stood out for wanting to provide an interesting, fun and engaging experience for their guests. The collection from our hotel was easy and the process of check in and boarding was easy and friendly. Once on board we we're served drinks throughout by the lovely crew. Kevin and Minor were excellent and genuinely proud of their culture and work. We saw dolphins, and enjoyed the option to snorkel and swim in the Pacific. The food served was delicious, fresh fish and the chef's own homemade hot sauce was a nice touch. We watched sunset from the boat which was perfect. If we ever came back, this would be one of the first tour's we would book. Thank you!

Great Day of Sailing and Snorkeling

The crew of the Marlin del Rey took great care of us from start to finish. The boat was clean and comfortable. The scenery and the sunset were outstanding. The snorkeling was fabulous. The drinks flowed non-stop and the food was tasty. Our whole group had a wonderful time. Would book this adventure again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.
