Tamarindo Estuary Tour

Alma_R, Jul 2026

It was great! Definitely...

It was great! Definitely take shoes you don’t mind getting wet since we did have to step in the water to get in the boat. We were able to see Crocodiles birds monkeys and crabs! Carlos was also an amazing guide and showed he genuinely cared for the animals and environment of this tour.

ATV and Zipline Combo Tour from Tamarindo or Conchal or Riu Hotel

Christine_F, Jul 2026

Fun, safe and convenient!

What a fun day! We booked this excursion because it combined the ATV’s with ziplining, so we did not have to schedule 2 separate tours. We started on the ATV’s after watching a safety video and practicing in an area to ensure we got comfortable driving them. Be sure to take a bandana to cover your nose/mouth or they sell them for $5 each. Then, our guide led us through neighborhoods and trails that got us to the ziplining park. The speed and travel path that our guide used felt very safe. We parked the ATV’s and were then outfitted for ziplining. We had 2 guides who explained everything and ensured we ziplined safely, while making it very fun too. There were 9 ziplines that were over beautiful terrain, and the view from the 1st line was stunning! A photographer joined us and shot pics and videos that you could purchase at the end. We then got back on the ATV’s and drove back to the beginning, but went on a different route. Everyone had a great time and felt very safe throughout the day!

I cannot recommend this...

I cannot recommend this transportation service enough. From start to finish, everything was absolutely wonderful. The driver arrived right on time, exhibiting the utmost professionalism and courtesy throughout the entire journey. The vehicle itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable. If you are looking for reliable, high-quality transit, look no further. I will definitely be booking with them again!

Martin_B, Jul 2026

Amazing ecosystem.

The guide/naturalist Carlos was the main factor for a fact filled and educational experience. Gliding through many branches of the mangrove bordered estuaries was amazing and peaceful. Wildlife sightings were beautiful but sparse. Carlos found a howler monkey family. Observing them was a highlight of the excursion. Bringing along binoculars makes observing birds, crocodiles, monkeys more interesting.

We went on a sunset...

We went on a sunset catamaran tour in Playa Flamingo on Tuesday 7/2/2026. Despite the not so Ideal weather for a sunset cruise, the atmosphere on board was relaxing, fun, and perfectly organized. A special thank you to our amazing Lazy Lizard crew, who made the experience even more memorable. They were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making everyone feel welcome from the moment we stepped on board. Their enthusiasm and excellent service created a fantastic experience for all guests.

La Leona waterfall adventure hike half day

Margaret_P, Jul 2026

Excellent choice for the $!

It is best to wear old gym shoes for traction.. A swimsuit and nylon shorts that dry quickly are perfect. Our guide was very knowledgeable, we stopped whenever we wanted, many opportunities for pictures. It is about a two hour excursion. I highly recommend this company as they have experience in the area since childhood and have a love of the land. If you don’t have transportation to the meet up point, it is about $115 per person. Still very worth it.

5-Hour Guided Sunset Boat Tour in Tamarindo Costa Rica

Kia_R, May 2026

Highly recommended charter !

Excellent charter experience. The crew are fun and welcoming. The owner ( a bit of trivia… ask him what episode of House Hunter International did he and his wife star in!) was kind and excited for his new adventure and business! When we saw the dolphins the crew stopped the boat so we could swim alongside of them. They went above and beyond to ensure an enjoyable trip. The boat itinerary was fun and amazing. We saw dolphins, fish, starfish, rays, beautiful water, and enjoyed a well prepared lunch, then on to sunset !

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.

Meg_T, Apr 2026

The best experience!!

My husband and I had such a great time! The guides were very sweet and made us feel very safe! I’m terrified of heights and I had a blast! We went during the dry season so the trees were not green (so no monkeys while on the zipline). It was still very beautiful being on the mountain, just bring sunscreen!!

Poas Volcano waterfalls and coffee tour from from San Jose

Mary_K, Mar 2026

Multi tour

If you are crunched the time and you want to have a little bit of everything in one excursion, this is a really good excursion. I got to see an active volcano, waterfalls, and the coffee tour was actually surprisingly interesting. I didn’t know a lot of things and I’m taking all this knowledge back home to make better coffee. Our tour guide kept us safe. And I had to take beautiful videos of the waterfall. I really connected with nature. Thank you so much for a beautiful care.

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

robert_l, Mar 2026

Great sociable boat trip

Fabulous trip on a catamaran- very attentive crew and free flowing drinks - more of a booze cruise than a snorkelling or dolphin watching experience but thoroughly enjoyed nonetheless, if you’re after a gentle sail with friends you have yet to meet, a paddle in the ocean and a bit of a boogie, this one is a mist

Dagan_M, Oct 2025

Adventurous gorgeous river trip!

This is our 2nd time taking this trip (first time in low water season, now in high) and it was absolutely incredible. Our guide, Luis, was fabulous- a total pro who made us comfortable (even our nervous kiddo) and navigated us through some huge rapids with ease! It’s absolutely beautiful jungle and the rapids are super fun. Will do again!
