What are people saying about Tamarindo

Joe_S, Sept 2026

Best transportation in Costa Rica!

We had an amazing driver named Dennis! He was incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, and respectful throughout our trip. He gave us a wonderful tour of every city we visited, from the airport to W Costa Rica, and made the journey so much more enjoyable. Dennis was always attentive to our needs, making sure we had plenty of water and everything we needed along the way. He was very polite, professional, and a pleasure to travel with. We would love to request Dennis for our transfer back to the airport. He made such a great impression on us, and we would be thrilled to have him drive us again! Thank you, Dennis, for making our transportation experience in Costa Rica so memorable! Joe and Angel

Buena Vista del Rincon Mega Combo Tour from Guanacaste

Derek_C, Aug 2026

Buena Vista del Rincón...

Buena Vista del Rincón was one of the highlights of our Costa Rica vacation. It was a full day of adventure and everything was very well organized. The zip lining was a lot of fun, the jungle water slide was definitely one of the highlights, and finishing the day with the hot springs and volcanic mud bath was perfect. The scenery throughout the property is beautiful and really gives you the feeling of experiencing Costa Rica. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone in our family felt comfortable and safe throughout the activities. Lunch was also very good and a nice break during the day. If you’re staying in Guanacaste and want to experience adventure, nature, hot springs, and some of the Costa Rican countryside all in one day, I highly recommend Buena Vista del Rincón. We would definitely do it again.

La Leona waterfall adventure hike half day

Cavanna_M, Aug 2026

Loved Our Tour and Tour Guide

The instructional video before the hike was helpful. The guide was patient and accommodating based on our physical abilities and fears. We were given path options, which we loved, and we enjoyed the hike as well as the waterfalls. We enjoyed the guides knowledge of the foliage and the little stops to explain and show us insects, bats, cultural references, etc. We got more than just a stop to the waterfall and back. It was an experience to be remembered. The lunch/snack is just fresh cut fruit afterwards so come fed. If you can request a tour guide ask for Pablo…he’s amazing, funny and friendly!!

Frogs-Sloths-waterfall-Coffee and Chocolate Tour

Alyssa_K, Aug 2026

Sloth/Frog/Coffee&chocolate/waterfall tour

Manuel went above and beyond. We got to go to rainforest where we saw several sloths, snakes, frogs, and foliage with informative explanations. He took us to eat a traditional meal which was wonderful. Our coffee and chocolate tour with history of both plants and got to assist in making coffee/hot chocolate. We then made several stops along the way to see wildlife including a toucan and herons. He took us to waterfall where we ended our day. Cannot recommend Manuel and this tour enough! He was incredibly knowledgeable and hospitable.

Tamarindo Estuary Tour

We had an extremely knowledgeable guide Juan Carlos who shared much about Costa Rico’s eco preservation as well as the animals we were seeing in the estuary- crocodiles, hawks, warblers, ibis, etc. Even though it was a hot day, it was very pleasant in the covered open air boat. There was a nice breeze and shaded over hang in the estuary. The cold water and fresh pineapple was an added bonus. Well worth the trip into the mangroves especially if you are looking for different animals.

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 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!

Tamarindo Estuary Boat Tour

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.

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 !

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!
