A Wonderful Day of Adventure

This was an action packed and fun filled day. Walking the suspended bridges was a little more challenging than expected, but worth the effort. The Ziplines were amazing, along with learning about the culture of the Indigenous people of Costa Rica. Our tour guide and driver, Berny and Sidar, were amazing. They shared their knowledge of the country, the National Park and anything else we asked about. They were also fun and entertaining. A perfect 10!!!!

Sloth Watching + Waterfall & Organic Coffee and Chocolate Tour

Valerie_T, Apr 2026

This was a great...

This was a great experience! Good way to see a lot of the attractions without having to schedule the logistics ourselves. It is probably not the quickest way to see the attractions, but the journey was a big part of this experience. Jose was an excellent guide. He explained everything in both English and Spanish and is extremely knowledgeable. The sites also had great tour guides to share their information. Monkeys, sloths, tree frogs, a tapir, & a pit viper were observed. The cocoa and coffee demonstrations were very informative and nice to have the yummy samples at the end. The waterfall is pretty and refreshing!

La Leona waterfall adventure hike half day

Robert_G, Apr 2026

La Leona waterfall hike/tour

The experience was excellent and we highly recommend it. The only problem was that we thought we were getting picked up at 9:30 am and that was instead the start time of the program, so our driver was ready for us at 7am. It’s a bit of a technical hike but not too strenuous and the river crossings and tunnels/caves were a blast. Our guide Samuel was outstanding in every way.

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.

Frogs-Sloths-waterfall-Coffee and Chocolate Tour

Lisa_S, Apr 2026

Exceptional

Absolutely incredible!!! All the guides and our driver were very knowledgeable about the wildlife. The coffee plantation was extremely interesting. Our guide was friendly and took his time to explain everything. This was one of the best Viator tour experiences I’ve encountered. We saw 6 sloths, tree frogs, poisonous frogs, a yellow viper, rare birds etc …our guide was skilled at finding wildlife using her scope and helped us take pictures using the scope. I love chocolate so I can’t say more !!! Everything was excellent! Highly recommend this tour !!!

5-Hour Guided Sunset Boat Tour in Tamarindo Costa Rica

Caitlyn_G, Apr 2026

The best catamaran tour in Costa Rica!

HUGE thank you to the entire team. This catamaran cruise experience was absolutely amazing and unforgettable. My husband and I did this excursion on our honeymoon and it was spectacular. This tour felt very intimate compared to the other big-grouped catamaran tours. The crew was incredibly attentive — we swam to the beach, snorkeled, laid out on the big float. Dinner was absolutely delicious and authentic. We truly had the best time and highly recommend if you want a relaxing and beautiful day!!!!

Small-Group Zipline Canopy Tour in Tamarindo's Jungle

Brian_R, Apr 2026

Amazing for Little Kids (5 & 8)

Went with our two kids -- 5 and 8 years old -- this was the highlight of their trip. The zipline guides were super nice guys, cautious, responsible, and made the kids feel comfortable. Also, this was not crowded at all -- it was just us and another family of four -- had an absolutely amazing time.

Costa Rica Private Guanacaste Airport (LIR) Departure transfer

Travel with ease

Our private driver from… & to, the Liberia airport could not have been better. When we arrived, our 6 person van & driver was waiting…and after a very long day of travel it was a great way to begin our holiday. After our two week stay, Guillermo (sp?) was also, on time & made sure to find us at our Airbnb in Taramindo. He was especially, a pleasure to talk to & drove on a more comfortable road than we previously experienced. Thank you for making this a stress-less experience.

CR Tamarindo Catamaran Tour – Sunset Cruise, Open Bar & Snorkel

elizabeth_f, Jan 2026

Smooth sailing

Amazing experience on the water. The staff was warm and welcoming. The boat was clean. The bar was open and the food was delicious. We sailed all day did some snorkeling and I even saw a stingray. I didn’t see many fish, but it didn’t matter. The sunset was beautiful and the day was perfect. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Deep Sea Fishing Private Charter in Tamarindo - 28' Century

Bob_A, Jun 2025

Family Fishing Trip

We had a great fishing experience! Meeting up with the tour was easy and they were in constant communication with us. Once on the boat, we were given the opportunity to customize the trip, but when the fish weren't cooperating, Captain David had no problem changing plans so we could be sure to catch some fish. Everyone was helpful and pleasant! I definitely recommend this charter and trust you'll enjoy your experience!
