Maggie_M, Nov 2026

Fun hike through the forest to La Leona waterfall!

My husband and I hiked with a personal guide, Anthony. The experience was amazing! We learned about the trees and wildlife in the area as we hiked, waded, and swam through the water. It was such a cool experience! Anthony was the best! We’d definitely recommend this tour!

Punta Cacique ATV 4WD Jungle and Mountain Adventure in Costa Rica

Vito_G, Sept 2026

Awesome experience!

This was a fantastic time! We got to go through local towns, through the jungles and then eventually onto the beach. We even stopped at a local market and grabbed some drinks, talked to some locals and met their dogs! The meeting spot is tucked away and the hotel did not know about it, but I assure you it is very fun and very worth it!

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

Michelle_A, Sept 2026

All the things!!

It is a day packed full of fun! Rene our guide was incredible and so kind. He was always looking out for us and giving us guidance along the way. He made sure we didn’t miss any of the incredible animal sightings along the way, pointing out the monkeys and the toucans that he found for us. Best day in Costa Rica! Highly recommend! If you get Rene as your guide, you will have the best day!!!

Coffee & Chocolate Tour+Sloths Park & Llanos de Cortez Waterfall

Ken_A, Aug 2026

Wonderful Day of Sightseeing!

Dayro was an excellent guide. He picked us up at the W Costa Rica. His vehicle was spotless. Our day started at the Llanos de Cortez Waterfall. We arrived early so there was virtually no one there, but the site became more crowded as time passed. Dayro brought his own telescope so that we could better see the monkeys in the trees. The sloth and coffee/chocolate tours were right next to each other in Bijagua. Lunch was at El Sabor de Dona Carmen, a five minute ride from the sloths/coffee. Traditional Casado meal. The drive was long, but scenery was beautiful.

Linsey_W, Jul 2026

10 out of 10

This day was the highlight of our trip. Carlos, our guide, had incredible knowledge of everything Costa Rica. John, our driver and was equally great at pointing out unique places, animals, and things as we traveled to our different destinations. The tubing was a fun adrenaline rush, and Omar and Alejandro made sure we were safe and had fun. Overall, this day was the best time! 10 out of 10

Costa Rica Guanacaste Airport (LIR) Private Departure Transfer

Christopher_M, Jul 2026

I cannot recommend this...

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.

Rio Celeste Hike, Sloths & Llanos de Cortés Falls from Guanacaste

Sofia_D, Jun 2026

Amazing! We went last...

Amazing! We went last month and I can’t remember our guides name but he was amazing. Very informed and answered any questions we had about the area. Honestly he was AMAZING. The sloth tour was amazing as well. Nothing crazy exotic but the guide for that pointed out all native animals and showed us how to take expert photos. Had a beautiful time and loved the food

5-Hour Guided Sunset Boat Tour in Tamarindo Costa Rica

Kia_R, May 2026

Highly recommended charter !

Excellent charter experience. The crew are fun and welcoming. The owner ( a bit of trivia… ask him what episode of House Hunter International did he and his wife star in!) was kind and excited for his new adventure and business! When we saw the dolphins the crew stopped the boat so we could swim alongside of them. They went above and beyond to ensure an enjoyable trip. The boat itinerary was fun and amazing. We saw dolphins, fish, starfish, rays, beautiful water, and enjoyed a well prepared lunch, then on to sunset !
