Snorkeling Tour to Playa Fantasia on Sealounge Catamaran

Centerra_H, Jun 2026

Birthday Cruise

This tour was amazing way to spend my birthday! The crew was very knowledgeable and fun. We learned a lot of history while we're in the catamaran and island. The views were beautiful, the drinks were plentiful, and the food was amazing and seasoned to perfection. If you want a relaxing getaway with good vibes, book this catamaran! Thank you to the crew for making my birthday special!

All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island

Claire_G, Jun 2026

This was a good tour for...

This was a good tour for a wide range of travelers. There were several young families on this trip, there were older travelers, and there were people of all ages looking to party (but not overwhelming anyone who wasn't). In short, if you want to party, you can, but I wouldn't characterize this as a party boat tour by any means-- you can totally bring your kids or go as someone who doesn't drink. The day started at 7 and ended a bit after 4, with about 6-7 of those hours being on the island. The food that was served was enough to keep you from getting hungry, and there was no shortage of drinks. The tour staff are friendly, responsive, and capable. Brandon took good care of us, as did the lead staff member in charge (whose name I'm unsure of, I'm sorry). Whenever you want a drink, either alcoholic or not, it appears quickly, and the trash is whisked away equally rapidly. Unlike other tours I've seen, you don't have to choose between activities-- you can go snorkeling, banana boating (which we skipped in favor of lying on the beach), AND do a quick hike. (We did the short version, because the long version was rained out, and we still saw javelinas and deer.) Or you can do none of those things and just lie on your comfy beach chair under your personal beach umbrella. Toilet access is included for free, though tips are appreciated on the island. The island also has a small souvenir shop that has sunscreen and such for sale, too. The water wasn't cold, though I would recommend swim shoes, because the beach is rocky. My husband really likes boats, swimming, and lying on the beach, so he was thrilled with the whole outing. I like not being seasick but am highly prone to it, and if that's you, I recommend being among the first to get in line to get back on the boat in the afternoon so that you can sit on the top and keep the horizon in view (not that things were bad on the way out, because they weren't, but this kept me from getting even a little bit dizzy). We both had a good time.

3-Hour ATV Jungle Waterfall Adventure

Michael_N, Jun 2026

Fun ATV tour - great for the family!

My wife and I took this tour with our teenage kids, one riding with each of us. There were only two other people on the tour with us, which was great - we had plenty of time riding and tons of interaction with Jordan, our tour guide. After riding about an hour or so, we ended up hiking down to a waterfall where we were able to cool off and swim a bit. We took in some great views, and Jordan took some pics of the group before we descended back down to the starting point. Definitely pack shoes/clothes you don't mind getting muddy, especially if it has rained recently. Definitely would recommend to anyone!

Arenal Volcano, La Fortuna Waterfall, Hot Springs Combo Tour with Lunch & Dinner

Angela_G, Jun 2026

This is a great way to...

If you’re thinking of driving yourself to these things, just don’t. Let Alex take you on a comfy and safe trip (he knows the shortcuts and gets the great parking spots-you don’t)! He is also magical with children, and there were times where the 6 kids in our group were just up front hiking with him at the volcano, learning about flora and fauna in a fun way. This is a great way to hit three major attractions in one very full day. Start with your swimsuit and coverup on, because the waterfall is first. Towels are a must, raincoats less so. The food is great. Book it now!

Jaco Beach Costa Rica Horseback Riding

Gabriela_M, Jun 2026

Amazing experience. I was...

Amazing experience. I was a little scared at first but it turned out to be very fun and exciting. The horses are well trained and kind of like already know what to do themselves and the route. Our tour guide was very experienced and kind. Would recommend doing this is staying in Jaco! Literally like 3 minutes away and only takes 2 hours, you’re given a 10min break by the beach to take pictures and rest. WEAR SUNSCREEN!!

YOKAL_S, Jun 2026

Best hike in Jaco area by far!

Absolutely incredible! Best hike we did in our trip. Dustin was our guide and did an amazing job. Easy to talk to, personable, and very good at his job. The hike has some strenuous parts, but the have different routes depending on capabilities and they make sure everyone has a chance to get to the good stuff. You will get wet... and it feels amazing! Do not hesitate one bit to book this tour. Do it!

Ocean views Zip Line Canopy Tour in Jaco Beach and Los Suenos

Amerley_A, Apr 2026

Zip Lining is AMAZING! Pura Vida!

This was my first time zip lining ever, and the gentleman made it a blast! They were very informative on what to do and what not to do prior to the experience, so all my nerves disappeared, and I had an amazing time! They were polite, funny, and super professional! I definitely recommend this place for your Jaco adventures!

5 Hour Off-Road ATV+ Zipline+ Waterfall Rappelling+ Tractor Jungle Tour

Amber_O, Apr 2026

Full Day Adventure

ATV/Waterfall Repelling/zip lining This was such a fun experience! We started day with Andres doing ATV riding and had a great time enjoying the forest landscape while seeing wildlife as well. The waterfall repelling was another great experience and the guides Carlos and Luis made us feel safe the whole time. They took pictures for us as we were repelling and also when we both completed. We came back for lunch and the chicken was amazing and so was the homemade juice. We finished the tour off with Zip lining and Jesus, Luis, and Carlos did such an amazing job. We did 7 zip lines with the final two being the highest and the longest ones. I would definitely recommend anyone who visits Jaco to come do this tour with these amazing guides to help you and protect you along the way

Ocean View Zip Line + 3hr ATV & Waterfalls Combo Tour

Emily_S, Sept 2025

Worth It!

This was well worth the price! The adventures started so early and you're constantly on the go so our group wasn't that hungry and the fresh fruit and water was perfect. The zipline guides were funny and friendly. They were great with making our nervous group members comfortable and we all had a great time. Keep in mind that the zipline harnesses aren't that comfy and you will be squished a bit while you're zipping around. You will have time between platforms to take pics. WEAR BUG SPRAY. The ATV was my favorite part! It was so fun from start to finish. You WILL get dirty and sweaty and its awesome. We saw sloths, very cool birds, and the awesome local farms. Our guides were nice enough to take some cool pics of our group and tell us some local lore. The sight seeing was great. We went during rainy season and had planned a hike to the waterfalls the next day but this was so great we decided we didn't even need the hike. Plus with all the mud a hike would have been rough. This was a safer and better alternative for this time of year IMO.
