Carara National Park Birdwatching Group Guided Tour Experience.

Special Offer

This isn't just another Poás Volcano tour. It's a private experience, built for slow travel, not mass tourism. We pick you up when it works for you, straight from your hotel or Airbnb, none of the two hours the big buses waste rounding tourists up across other locations. At Poás, timing is everything: those who arrive after mid-morning usually find the crater buried in clouds. So we go first, while you still have a real shot at seeing it clear. We stand at the edge of one of the largest active craters on the planet, no rush, then find the hidden Laguna Botos, its waters shifting between emerald and turquoise. Next, the iconic La Paz Waterfall, fresh local fruit, and a hidden trail most people walk right past. We close the day at Hacienda Alsacia, the only Starbucks coffee farm in the world, where you taste a cup where it's actually grown. Your companion doesn't just know this land, he lives it. You won't remember a tour. You'll remember a Costa Rica experience, told first-hand.

Hike 10 waterfalls in Jaco lunch included

Pastor_S, Oct 2026

Dustin goes Above and Beyond!!!

Dustin went above and beyond to make this a special trip!!! Dustin knew so much about the wildlife and trees, plants, you name it. Made this hike really something special. That being said, it was a tough hike in spots but he made us feel like we could do it and we did. We are hikers but he even helped us with some areas we were skeptical about. WE MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP!!! I’m 57 and my wife is less than that (😆😆) but still in her 50’s and we made it!! Try this hike with Jorge and Dustin and you will feel like you accomplished something truly amazing!!! Once in a lifetime!!!

All Inclusive Catamaran Day Tour to Tortuga Island

Heather_K, Sept 2026

Best Excursion near Jaco

This was the best experience/excursion we booked during our trip. Not only was the staff easy to converse with with questions from the beginning but they were extremely friendly and helpful through the entire experience. From the moment we stepped on the catamaran until we stepped off the staff made us feel important and took such great care of us. At the island, it was like an all inclusive resort. If you were in the water, they came out and brought you your drinks so you didn’t have to get out. We strongly recommend the snorkeling (the staff threw bread to bring the fish to you), the banana boat was fun also. The food was amazing and there was no shortage of it. All the staff was amazing but our favorite was Ruben (Oman) Jr., talk about excellent service. He was the server of all times and treated every person like Royalty. We didn’t want or need for anything. He was on it. Also the beach was very clean. Plenty of lounges for everyone. We can’t say enough about this experience. It’s worth every penny. Honestly it’s worth more than you pay. Thank you for a great fun filled day.

Ocean View Zip Line + 3hr ATV & Waterfalls Combo Tour

Kimberly_M, Sept 2026

All the guides were so...

All the guides were so kind and informative. Ziplining was a blast as did 12 ropes, some faster than others. They taught me how to do the spider-man pose which was cool. ATVS were so much fun and took us to beautiful views, 100% worth the rough terrain to get up the mountain. I would say, if this is your first time on an ATV you might want to ride as a passenger cause some terrain can get kinda challenging/scary if you’re new to it. I felt completely safe the entire time and the guide always made sure we were okay. The waterfall was a great refresher after the long hot trail on the ATV. 10/10 experience.

Amazing 3-Hour Jaco ATV Tour & Jungle Waterfall

Marina_G, Aug 2026

We had an amazing time on...

We had an amazing time on our 4-wheeling tour with Adventure Tours Costa Rica! The views and experience were incredible, and our guide, Alonso, made the tour even better. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was having a great time while keeping us safe. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Alonso as your guide!

SJO to Jaco Private Transportation or Vice Versa

Shelby_D, Aug 2026

Mike and Vinnie Were Terrific!

Odysea did a wonderful job bringing us to and from SJO to Jaco. Mike Rodriguez was exceptional for our first ride. We could not have asked for a more perfect driver to pick us up and introduce us to pura vida. He delighted us with stories and information on the area, made us feel welcome. Vinnie brought us back to the airport and was so kind and provided us with a quiet, smooth ride. He even had a secret place to drop us off to avoid the endless line of cars at the airport. Would ride with Odysea again in a heart beat!

2 Hour ATV + Waterfalls in Jaco Beach and Los Suenos

Mark_A, Aug 2026

ATV and Wayerfall blast

My family had so much fun on the AT excursion! The trails and splashing is a blast. Nothing too scary and we always felt safe with our guide who was constantly turning back to check on us. Jeremy was our guide and he was very fun and kind. The stop at the top for a view was amazing, and the jump into the cool waterfalls was more than refreshing! We would definitely do this again!

Jaco Beach Costa Rica Horseback Riding

michael_c, Jul 2026

Great experience

We had a wonderful time on our horseback tour. We went through old plantation fields crossed a river and went to the beach. Our Guild was very polite, knowledgeable and helpful. He took pictures for us as we rode. He spotted our first sloth of our trip and seen some monkeys. Overall we had a great time, well worth the money and time.

Isla Tortuga VIP from Jaco: Small Groups, Monkey & safari tour

Liz_V, Jun 2026

Best Day Ever!

This day was everything we hoped for and more! Isabella, Micheal, and Captain Marcus were incredible!! She gave us history of islands, we saw monkeys, crocs, and other incredible wildlife on Tortuga! We also hiked the island, the views were breathtaking! Lunch was amazing, we had yellowfin tuna and chicken options and they provided lots of water, pop, and we even had an afternoon coffee and cookies! Don’t hesitate, just book this tour! Pura Vida 💕

5 Hour Off-Road ATV+ Zipline+ Waterfall Rappelling+ Tractor Jungle Tour

Jelani_M, May 2026

We went high

A blast. The sights? Breathtaking. Zip lining over a mile, for as high up as we were, was unforgettable. Great picture opportunities. The only thing, when doing the atv portion: give yourself some space between you and the person in front so you can rip the gas and get some real speed. Be careful.

4x4 Happy Jungle Booze Cruise

Kriste_K, Apr 2026

Jungle Birthday Fun

My husband and best friend celebrated my birthday with Dennis driving through the lush mountains and jungles of Costa Rica. Dennis was very accommodating, thoughtful and polite. He was the host with the most and made our experience very memorable. It was a very fun and educational adventure. A must do, even if only for the views and all their glory alone!

Jungle Crocodile Safari: Tarcoles River Crocodile Tour

Katie_S, Apr 2026

Wonderful! Tons of wildlife!

I took my 3 year old on this boat ride by myself and it was absolutely wonderful. We saw over 10 small crocodiles and two large crocodiles, one of them completely out of the water. We also saw a ton of cool birds, including rosette spoonbills. The guide was so kind and they were respectful to the animals. Highly recommend.

Private Tropical Catamaran Adventure

Tim_S, Apr 2026

Worth the money if you are not snooty.

NOT the same catamaran as the pictures. JP the guide was amazing as well as the captain. I am glad we did not go on an ultra-touristy trip for this excursion. Take aways: 1. Not a gourmet meal provided but great snacks. 2. Bring sunscreen or you will get burnt. 3. Felt personal, like we rented our own (older) catamaran sans working sail. 4. Felt safe and well respected as tourists. 5. Private beach tour 6. Bring your own gear for snorkeling if that is important to you. The provided gear was B grade quality and was difficult to use. 7. worth every damn dime
