What are people saying about Costa Rica

Lisa_S, Aug 2026

Great Combo Tour with Guide!

Cat was our guide and knew so much about the wildlife. She did a great job stopping to show us creatures we could never spot and shared amazing photos with us that she took with her camera/telescope thing. We got awesome photo ops, too. The Hanging Bridges were intense if you’re afraid of heights but worth facing your fear. Bring waterproof rain gear!! We had plenty of time at each place and the ride was comfortable. 10/10 for Cat!

Timarouba Catamaran Sunset Cruise with Open Bar Lunch& Snorkeling

Pamela_W, Aug 2026

Sunset cruise!

Great cruise. Saw some turtles in the ocean and a few fish and stingray during the snorkel. Not a ton of fish around but the boat was fun. The food was great and the drinks were flowing. They had plenty of noodles and snorkel equipment as well as some kayaks and a float. And the sunset ride home was amazing.

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

Vivek_M, Aug 2026

Overall fun tour of the...

Overall fun tour of the lava flows, falls, and hot spring soak with great guides. Easy transportation, and overall a very good value (including admission fees). Be ready for a moderate to strenuous hike, with 500 stair steps to climb down and back up. it was nice to get out and see the lava flows, I was expecting to see a bit more of the volcano crater, but that is off limits by CR (Costa Rica) regulations.. It was also nice to cool down by the water falls. There are several falls in the area. It seem most of the regions is made of private reserves, not public national parks - so which tour you take will decide which falls you see. I also have to highlight lunch - if was one of my more enjoyable meals in CR for a traditional CR meal. Capping everything off in the hot spring pool was fantastic (and the drinks at the end added to enjoyment!). I believe the water is pumped up from lower depths into the curated pools. The cascade of three pools, from VERY hot, to warm was my favorite.

North Fields Cafe: Craft Specialty Coffee and Chocolate Tour

Vivek_M, Aug 2026

Very enjoyable tour with...

Very enjoyable tour with a knowledgeable guide. This is not a large plantation of coffee or coco, but a smaller representation of one (still good size). I enjoyed the coffee tasting, and have a much better understanding on the bean, processing, and grinding. Chocolate was also a great process - from the pod to final product, with taste tests off different chocolate types. Shuttle pick-up and drop-off were right on time. Overall the tour was a bit expensive for the duration, but I am glad I went.

Balsa River White Water Rafting class 2/3 in Costa Rica

Cole_K, Aug 2026

Great rafting experience

This was such an awesome experience. The company is very organized, had great communication and everything was perfectly on time. Our guide, Tucan, was a lot of fun and both of us and the kids had a great time. The meal at the end was also quite good, it was excellent value for the price paid.

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.

Sloth Watching , Coffee, Chocolate & waterfall Experience

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.

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. If you're visiting Costa Rica and looking for an unforgettable experience, I highly recommend this ziplining tour. The combination of spectacular views, thrilling rides, and a professional, caring team made it a memory our family will never forget!

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!

ATV or Buggy Guided Tour from Tamarindo, Conchal or RIU Hotels

Melissa_G, Jun 2026

The Highlight of Our Costa Rica Trip!

Our family of five (two grandparents, two adults, and our young child) had an amazing ATV and buggy tour with 506 Tours! Gustavo was an incredible guide—funny, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. He made sure everyone in our group felt comfortable while sharing interesting facts and stories throughout the tour. The beaches we visited were absolutely beautiful, and the ride itself was a perfect mix of adventure and sightseeing. If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly adventure in Costa Rica, we highly recommend 506 Tours. Ask for Gustavo, you won’t be disappointed!
