I wasn’t totally sure what to expect when booking this but it ended up being one of our favorite excursions we’ve ever done. Yordan was an awesome guide and pointed out many different plants and animals as we drove by. Between Costa Rican beers, lots of history and fun facts, and a delicious lunch at a local spot we couldn’t have asked for anything else

Dany_P, Dec 2025
We expected a guided party tour but it was just a long commute in the back of a truck with cooler. Each traveller was allotted 4 beer, we visited a waterfall had lunch then a long drive back. We had a shot at each stop. The driver was very nice but we were disappointed. The two other guests had enough and opted to ride back inside the truck. The drive was too fast to even take pictures.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hello Dany_P. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience in our waterfalls and beautiful mountains. Your driver and guide paid for the extra beers you demanded out of their own pockets to try to make you happy. We are sorry to see that it wasn't enough for you. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Costa Rica. Pura Vida!

Ryan_D, Dec 2025
This was not at all what we were expecting - in the best way possible. The hosts were great. A fun excursion complete with side-by-sides, hiking, waterfall swims, and amazing views. The food was also excellent!

Raquel_J, Jul 2025
this cruise was great. The beginning of the trip was super fast as the driver was kind of speeding through the jungle, but it was all fun. The drinks were great, and the food was amazing. I enjoyed that we had options to choose from for the food and drinks and we took multiple shots. I would recommend this to a friend.

Amazing experience

Booze Cruise!

Amber_H, Jun 2025
Marco was an amazing guide on our booze cruise!! He was very accommodating and awesome!! Highly recommend doing the booze cruise if you have a group that likes to drink and enjoy the mountains views!

It was such a great time!...

Deja_S, May 2025
It was such a great time! Our guide was amazing and made sure we saw the most beautiful views. The shots were so good and there are no words to describe how delicious our lunch was. Although we didnt get to experience the waterfall due to the weather, i would def do this excursion again.

This is a great trip and...

Nazjae_m, Mar 2025
This is a great trip and a great experience definitely recommend this trip a lot of fun , we went swimming in waterfall and get to the travel through the country side and finished ups with a delicious lunch with a great view and some good shots !!!!

Great jungle adventure!

Anne_O, Feb 2025
Very cool adventure crashing through the jungle, up precarious mountain roads to reach a beautiful mountain stream with small waterfalls. Mountaintop lunch with local booze shots was also great. And on the way home our driver, the amazing Christian, stopped to show us sloths and monkeys!

Great Booze Cruise

Michele_W, Feb 2025
We had a great time on our booze cruise! It was interesting to see such remote areas of the country. The cruise is mostly a drive through the jungle with a few stops. It was really cool. The remote bar we stopped at was great with wonderful views over the jungle.

Fun tipsy tour

James_C, Feb 2025
Our guide Christian was 5 stars all the way. Really took care of us and explained things along the way. The drive was beautiful and it was nice to hop in the jeep and find a case of beer waiting for us in a cooler for the tipsy tour. Lunch was delicious, and so were the complimentary shots of moonshine and chili water. And the view from the restaurant was amazing. The only thing that kept this from being a 5 star review was that the description mentioned going to 3 different bar stops on this booze tour, but we only actually had 1 stop at the restaurant since the other stops mentioned were closed on the day we took the tour so we did a different route. We still got all the drinks that were promised, and the scenery and drive was wonderful, but we were slightly disappointed that we didn't get to do the bar stops that we're described. Either way, we would still definitely tour with them again!

It’s was ok, but not fully recommend it.

Nina_V, Dec 2024
It was 4 hours with some local sites but I would not fully recommend it. Nothing special but Marco was a very good driver and guide. Not too much to see.

Mariah_B, Dec 2024
I booked this for my birthday and it was the best decision. This was so much fun, our drivers were very nice. Everyone was drunk and having fun.

Happy jungle booze cruise

hermanmonique, Dec 2024
We had such a great time on the jungle booze cruise. Our guide was so nice and knowledgeable about the area. It was great stopping at local bars and having cocktails.

Bumpy but lovely

Brittany_O, Dec 2024
Food was good. Lots of beer. The views are nice. Bumpy but that’s the point you’re in the jungle. Guide was great.

Great time!

Karissa_W, Nov 2024
Such a fun time! Yordan was an amazing guide!! It was raining a ton so we didn’t get to go on the normal route but he made our experience and what we were able to do so fun!

Good times

Nancy_K, Nov 2024
Great tour. Be prepared for the elements in rainy season. Rain coats and hiking shoes are key. The food was also amazing. Typical Costa Rican fare.

Nice ride at booze control

Sorel_J, Aug 2024
Amazing guide and staff. Equipment was very safe and the operator knew the area and off road conditions very well.

Fun and boozy ride

Jenna_H, Jul 2024
My boyfriend and I had an amazing time! It was just the two of us on the tour(it’s the off season for tourism), but we had a great time! Our guide was a great driver and we felt safe the entire time. We went to 2 bars total and had shots of liquor at both. We also had 2 or 3 beers while our guide drove. The food was also very good at a restaurant we stopped at in a small town. We also jumped off a small waterfall at a natural pools area! Overall we had a great time!!

Chris_E, Mar 2024
Jordan was an excellent guide,great driver and made the trip lots of fun.Would do it again! I would rcommend bringing a dust mask or bandanna tho,as itgets really dusty at times.But a great way to see some of the back country.

If you like nature, you'll love this

Melanie_D, Feb 2024
This was a wonderful experience. Great for people who want a tour of the area. You go into what i call remote parts of the forest, way past Jaco. My guide was Christian and he was wonderful. The word cruise is slightly misleading as you won't be on a boat at any point but there are shots at every stop! My only suggestion is to take your own pics with your own phone because they give you your complimentary pics 7 to 10 days after your excursion.

What an Adventure!

Ronald_S, Jan 2024
We had six couples on the tour. Great time, especially watching the jumping on the waterfall! A full afternoon of fun.

What a trip, it’s a must when you visit CR

Bev_B, Jan 2024
OMG this was so much fun, a must do in Costa Rica! We only had ourselves and another lady so our guide John Paul took us in a side by side which was still as much fun and we got to see a bit more than the normal tour! The moonshine was too die for! Thank you again for the wonderful experience Bev and Melissa

Great experience!!

Laurie_S, Jan 2024
Kiko and Marco were Incredible during our jungle boose cruise. Kiko was very informative and stopped anytime he heard and animal for us to see. Marco was the life of the party and kept the party alive in the back of the bus. Couldn't have had a better time or asked for a better experience!

Worst trip ever

Sandee_E, Dec 2023
Do not go on the tour. It was absolutely the worst experience ever. Besides the drunk teenager driving and nothing that they promised. The people were rude and we could not wait to get home. The worst experience of my life. I will be asking for my money back

Fun Day trip near Jaco

Brian_U, Dec 2023
Awesome time! We had a great day driving around and visiting some local places. We stopped at a river and waded for awhile, and visiting a beautiful waterfall where we swam and jumped off of. Lunch was delicious at a beautiful spot on the top of a mountain. Jacob was a wonderful host. Recommend!

Don’t waste anytime booking this excursion

Jessica_S, Dec 2023
Such a great excursion!! If you are considering booking please do! Marco was our tour guide and was really nice, knowledgeable and fun! This was definitely a boozy cruise with great sites and food.

Wonderful Experience! Thanks Marco!

KatelynSchmidtmann, Oct 2023
10/10 totally recommend this tour! Marco was so much fun, knowledgeable, and made us feel at ease the whole time. This was the perfect tour for someone who is adventurous, but likes to relax.

One of a kind experience!

Kristian_B, Sep 2023
Juan was an amazing tour guide! He loves nature, is very knowledgeable of the area and made sure we had a memorable experience. Make sure you wear something comfortable and you don’t mind getting dirty!!

Juan and JP were awesome! Fun filled ride!

Alejandra_P, Jul 2023
