Top Costa Rica Outdoor Activities

This boat ride was comfortable and accommodating. Rode along the coast and even got to see a mother Humpback whale and her baby. Snorkeling was a bit packed but was able to see about 5 different types of fish. The slide and jumping off the deck was awesome. Food was great. We all loved it.

I wasn’t sure what I was getting into . We were picked up from our hotel and taken to this location I had seen from the road . I really thought this was a tourist trap . It was not - 35 acres of woods and saw about 7 Sloths . Really a great experience for kids . The coffee was really good and the cocoa and sugar can was really informative

Thoroughly enjoyed this informative experience. This isn’t a big commercial thing- it’s family owned. Our tour guide showed us the tools his father and grandfather used to harvest the cacao beans for generations. I highly recommend! A few things that aren’t in the booking info- 1. You don’t need any special shoe, but I’d recommend sneakers. I wore flip flops and got a few little bug bites walking through the property. Not a must, but I wished I’d worn closed toe. 2. They give TONS of fruit samples that were absolutely delicious, in addition to a chocolate banana at the start. Unexpected treat! Highly recommend Don Olivo- kind family and informative tour!

Our Sloth Territory tour was an absolutely amazing experience and one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica! We saw an incredible variety of wildlife, including several sloths—one of the most memorable moments was spotting a mother sloth with her baby nestled on her belly. It was truly a National Geographic-worthy sight and something our family will never forget. We also had the opportunity to observe a toucan up close and capture amazing photos and videos. There is no way we would have spotted many of these animals on our own. The high-powered telescopes used by the guides made all the difference and allowed us to see details we never would have noticed otherwise. Our guide, Jason, was outstanding. His knowledge of Costa Rica's ecology, wildlife, plants, and culture added so much depth to the experience. He was passionate, engaging, and eager to answer questions, making the tour both educational and entertaining. If you're visiting the La Fortuna area, this tour is a must-do. The combination of incredible wildlife sightings, expert guiding, and a deeper appreciation for Costa Rica's unique ecosystem made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

10/10 Would let Elvis (almost) drown me again! 🌊🛶"If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet, and peaceful float down a serene river, keep looking. If you want to paddle until your arms feel like noodles while laughing until you cry, book with Elvis right this second. Thanks for keeping us safe, Jax! If I ever decide to intentionally go over a waterfall, I’m calling you."

The hike is no joke! It had been raining so don't wear shoes you care about because you can't avoid the mud and I can tell you from experience make sure they are good shoes cause mine came off while Rapelling so I chose not to do the big one at the end but my daughter did and I got to watch her and video it from above. It was an amazing time though and the guide Grey was absolutely wonderful and attentive (especially to me being mama)!! The food at the end was the best we had the whole trip!!!

This tour was awesome!! Gigi was very informative and very open to any questions we had! We got to make our own chocolate from scratch and our own coffee from grinding the beans to tasting it afterwards! I would highly recommend this tour, even on a rainy day because the tour is 100% covered with canopy’s!

Our tour was delayed due to the breakdown of the first tour bus. But the company made up for it by adding a brief tour of Puntarenas itself followed by the regular tour once the new bus was available. The crocodiles and the butterflies were the highlights. Long tour but very good.
