What are people saying about Tamarindo

Tamarindo Estuary Tour

Christine_B, Jul 2026

We had an extremely...

We had an extremely knowledgeable guide Juan Carlos who shared much about Costa Rico’s eco preservation as well as the animals we were seeing in the estuary- crocodiles, hawks, warblers, ibis, etc. Even though it was a hot day, it was very pleasant in the covered open air boat. There was a nice breeze and shaded over hang in the estuary. The cold water and fresh pineapple was an added bonus. Well worth the trip into the mangroves especially if you are looking for different animals.

ATV and Zipline Combo Tour from Tamarindo or Conchal or Riu Hotel

Christine_F, Jul 2026

Fun, safe and convenient!

What a fun day! We booked this excursion because it combined the ATV’s with ziplining, so we did not have to schedule 2 separate tours. We started on the ATV’s after watching a safety video and practicing in an area to ensure we got comfortable driving them. Be sure to take a bandana to cover your nose/mouth or they sell them for $5 each. Then, our guide led us through neighborhoods and trails that got us to the ziplining park. The speed and travel path that our guide used felt very safe. We parked the ATV’s and were then outfitted for ziplining. We had 2 guides who explained everything and ensured we ziplined safely, while making it very fun too. There were 9 ziplines that were over beautiful terrain, and the view from the 1st line was stunning! A photographer joined us and shot pics and videos that you could purchase at the end. We then got back on the ATV’s and drove back to the beginning, but went on a different route. Everyone had a great time and felt very safe throughout the day!

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

Rinika_A, Jul 2026

Excellante

We had an amazing experience on the Arenal Volcano and zip line tour! Our guide Rene was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Costa Rica’s wildlife and natural beauty. They made the hike both fun and informative, pointing out animals and plants we would have completely missed on our own. The zip lining was an unforgettable adventure, and the guide and staff made us feel safe and confident every step of the way. Their professionalism, enthusiasm made the entire day even more enjoyable. If you’re visiting the Arenal area, I highly recommend this tour. It was the perfect combination of adventure, breathtaking scenery, and learning about the local environment. Thank you for making our trip such a memorable experience!

I cannot recommend this transportation service enough. From start to finish, everything was absolutely wonderful. The driver arrived right on time, exhibiting the utmost professionalism and courtesy throughout the entire journey. The vehicle itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable. If you are looking for reliable, high-quality transit, look no further. I will definitely be booking with them again!

Tamarindo Estuary Boat Tour

Martin_B, Jul 2026

Amazing ecosystem.

The guide/naturalist Carlos was the main factor for a fact filled and educational experience. Gliding through many branches of the mangrove bordered estuaries was amazing and peaceful. Wildlife sightings were beautiful but sparse. Carlos found a howler monkey family. Observing them was a highlight of the excursion. Bringing along binoculars makes observing birds, crocodiles, monkeys more interesting.

We went on a sunset catamaran tour in Playa Flamingo on Tuesday 7/2/2026. Despite the not so Ideal weather for a sunset cruise, the atmosphere on board was relaxing, fun, and perfectly organized. A special thank you to our amazing Lazy Lizard crew, who made the experience even more memorable. They were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making everyone feel welcome from the moment we stepped on board. Their enthusiasm and excellent service created a fantastic experience for all guests.

La Leona waterfall adventure hike half day

Margaret_P, Jul 2026

Excellent choice for the $!

It is best to wear old gym shoes for traction.. A swimsuit and nylon shorts that dry quickly are perfect. Our guide was very knowledgeable, we stopped whenever we wanted, many opportunities for pictures. It is about a two hour excursion. I highly recommend this company as they have experience in the area since childhood and have a love of the land. If you don’t have transportation to the meet up point, it is about $115 per person. Still very worth it.

Zipline Monkey Jungle family canopy tour in Tamarindo

Meg_T, Apr 2026

The best experience!!

My husband and I had such a great time! The guides were very sweet and made us feel very safe! I’m terrified of heights and I had a blast! We went during the dry season so the trees were not green (so no monkeys while on the zipline). It was still very beautiful being on the mountain, just bring sunscreen!!

ATV and UTV Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo and Conchal Beach

Terry_B, Apr 2026

Worth the time and money!

This was an amazing ATV ride. We stopped at a few beaches, saw some monkeys, and overall saw the culture of Costa Rica. I get nervous about ATV rides because sometimes the rides are really fast and we don’t get to experience much but this was one of THE BEST rides we got to experience. Christian was the best take us around.

Incredible sunset from the water

Wonderful catamaran cruise and great snorkeling! The boat was big and even though there were a number of people on the cruise, it didn't feel crowded. The snorkeling was fantastic and we got to see a lot fish! The sunset was absolutely stunning! Definitely worth the money and a great experience.

Whitewater Rafting Class III and IV

Dagan_M, Oct 2025

Adventurous gorgeous river trip!

This is our 2nd time taking this trip (first time in low water season, now in high) and it was absolutely incredible. Our guide, Luis, was fabulous- a total pro who made us comfortable (even our nervous kiddo) and navigated us through some huge rapids with ease! It’s absolutely beautiful jungle and the rapids are super fun. Will do again!
