What are people saying about Costa Rica

Cyn_L, Aug 2026

Pura Vida and Sloths

We had a ball with Rudy and Luis! They were prompt and professional. We had a small group of 5 and everything was handled, no problems whatsoever. We started with waterfall and thankfully before it got super busy. Rudy was good about pointing out wildlife and made no pressure to visit stands or anything. Everyone knew him and his English was great. We then went to the Coffee and Chocolate tour where once again, everyone knew Rudy. Emmanuel was our tour guide there. Very knowledgeable and answered all questions. We had fun interactions with him and Jessica as she prepared fresh coffee and chocolate for us. Everything was delicious. From there, we went sloth watching at the sanctuary and Kevin was our tour lead. He's young and truly interested in the animals. He was able to get us close up pics of snakes, frogs and sloths. It started raining and our tour went on. Kevin is a biologist with a focus on snakes and frogs but I don't believe there is an animal that he doesn't know well. Last, we had a delicious lunch! So many choices, so much food, fresh fruit drinks and water, even better service. Love this place!!! And then back home. Luis is the perfect driver. I slept on the way back so easily even though he was truly driving those small roads. I would highly recommend as a good intro to Costa Rica.

Guachipelin Adventure Volcano Zipline Horseback River Tubing Combo

Elizabeth_H, Aug 2026

A must do

This was an absolutely amazing day. Our guide Armando was so informative and friendly. The adventure park Was an absolutely well oiled machine and we moved quickly and seamlessly from zip lining to horseback riding to tubing. The zip line through the canyon was breathtaking. The horseback ride to a waterfall was leisurely and the tubing was the absolute highlight of the day. We did not travel with kids but parent should take solace in the fact that all the littles were tubing down the river with an experienced guide right there with them. As a parent it made me feel really happy to see that. The lunch was a delicious buffet of local foods. And the hot springs were beautiful! It was a very long but full day and I would definitely do it again.

La Fortuna Waterfall, Hanging Bridges, Arenal Volcano Combo Tour

Amanda_P, Aug 2026

A must!

I tour guide Will was amazing! Very knowledgeable and personable. He knew my partner and my names very quickly along with the rest of our group. The walk up to see the volcano was at our own groups pace however he took the time to speak to people individually and ensured everyone was ok. We saw many animals at the Mistico Hanging Bridges and Will very kindly took photos and videos using his telescope which we both appreciated. The waterfall water is extremely cold and very powerful and it was very crowded with people waiting by the sides. I would recommend taking very little down with you as it poured heavily with rain and there is absolutely nowhere to shelter. There was a variety of lunch options and the food was very tasty. I would highly recommend this tour.

North Fields Cafe: Craft Specialty Coffee and Chocolate Tour

Marcia_G, Jul 2026

Five Stars - A Must-Do Tour in La Fortuna!

Our tour at North Fields Cafe was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We learned so much about the process of making both craft chocolate and specialty coffee, including how the different types are cultivated and processed. A massive shoutout to our guide, Valerie - she was simply the best! She was so knowledgeable, friendly, and funny, making the entire experience worth every single second. The biggest surprise? I walked into this tour completely disliking coffee and walked out a genuine fan. It was so good that couldn't leave without buying two bags to take home with me! If you're visiting La Fortuna, do not skip this experience. Highly recommend!

La Fortuna Waterfall, Arenal Volcano, Hot Springs Full Day Tour

Carrie_A, Jul 2026

The whole day was great!...

The whole day was great! We saw a few animals on the nature walk. Renee made sure we saw them through his telescope and helped us take great pictures and videos. Manuel was very knowledgeable and was happy to add more details to any conversation when asked. Cha Cha was a timely driver who made the tour rides seamless. Hiking, waterfall swimming and a soak in the hot springs—Red Lava Tours made it memorable! Definitely recommend this tour.

Flamingo, Guanacaste All Inclusive Catamaran Snorkel Adventure

Christina_L, Jul 2026

Excellent time!

This is by far one of the most fun snorkel cruises we have been on. I went with my teenage daughter. There were people of all ages on board. Austin is a wonderful guide and the entire crew was great. We had so much fun. For a snorkel cruise, the food was excellent, it was fresh and grilled, not what I expected. I would take this cruise over and over again.

7-Cable Zipline Adventure: Fly Over La Fortuna Waterfall

john_y, Jul 2026

Spectacular Experience!

Our ziplining adventure through the Costa Rican rainforest was absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of our trip! The views were breathtaking—soaring above the rainforest canopy with stunning scenery in every direction. It was an experience unlike anything we've ever done before. The staff were exceptional from start to finish. They were friendly, patient, and incredibly helpful, making everyone feel comfortable and confident. Most importantly, they took safety very seriously and made sure every guest was secure throughout the entire adventure.

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!

Arenal 12 Zipline Cables Experience Fly over La Fortuna Waterfall

Farrah_L, Jul 2026

Adventurous and fun!

This was the best tour of our trip! We had an absolute blast! The guide and staff were all very friendly and accommodating. It is a steep staircase hike which took about 20 mins to reach the first cable. Be in shape if you book it. I was out of breath by the last staircase. It was worth it though! The rain held out for us until the last cable. I was dreading it, but the rain made it even more exhilarating. Wear pants, quick dry shirts, and use bug spray!

They catered to our every whim and made sure everyone was happy and safe. The Amenities: The snorkeling was tons of fun, the lunch provided was delicious (and way better than your standard tour food!), and the open bar was fantastic—they serve the best drinks!
