Vandara Nature Pass - Amazing - Amazing one day trip with young family (boys aged 3,5,7). The tour guides were some of the best we’ve ever had. Horseback riding, zip lining, water slides and hot springs, a day to remember!

The best excursion in Costa Rica - Mauricio and Jesus were amazing! The day was great from the start. Most of our group didn’t speak Spanish. Mau was great at relating to everyone and ensuring we understood everything and everyone. He was so patient with me as a heavier woman. He ensured I had a great experience like everyone else. He helped me on and off the horse, made sure I kept up with the hike at the waterfall and ensured I was safe.
I appreciated that they had towels for us at the hot spring and bags for our wet clothes! That was so great.
The meal provided was so delicious! Go for the fish…it was amazing! It was a great end to an eventful day.
The stop al El Jardin was too touristy. I would rather stop at a small town and help the vendors there.
Our group appreciated to random stops to restroom break and animal sittings. The education provided was great.
Thank you for a great experience.

Experience it all in a day! - Eddie was great! He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the roads. The breakfast and lunch were comparable to a 4 star restaurant! Our tour was a lot of driving for Eddie but he had a great attitude and we enjoyed our day very much!! Highly recommend this company!! PuraVida!

A long day, but great company! - We booked this tour with our travel rep in our hotel (CC Papagoya) after looking at several options. We had a full day from 7.30 AM until 8.30 PM. Our trip also included a 2.5 hour stop at a hot spring where we also enjoyed a nice lunch (Paradise Hot Springs) our guide, Stevens and our driver Peter made the almost three hour drive quite interesting. It was clear that our enjoyment was their top priority as they went out of their way to ensure we saw and experienced as much as we could. On our hike through the forest at the volcano we had many groups run by us as we searched and learned about our surroundings. We were clearly there to enjoy the experience, not run through the trails. After we left the hot springs we stopped in La Fortuna for a very brief visit. This little city is definitely worth a days visits with restaurants and shops galore. We left there and just about sunset we pulled off the road into a family run restaurant. Great meal and friendly hosts. From there we headed back to our hotel. It was more like a day out with friends then a paid tour. Thanks Stevens and Peter, we will definitely look you up on our next visit.

Jason is the best!!! - We recently experienced the hanging bridges and La Fortuna waterfall tour with Jason as our guide, and it was truly unforgettable. Jason's extensive knowledge and passion for the environment brought the rainforest to life, making each step through the hanging bridges an adventure. The breathtaking views and the pristine beauty of La Fortuna waterfall left us in awe. Jason's anecdotes and attention to detail made the tour both educational and entertaining. We highly recommend this tour with Jason for an enriching and visually stunning experience.

Great drive/hike with JP through Costa Rica to Amazing Water Falls - My wife and I had a great experience driving with JP through Costa Rica. We started in Arenal at 6:30am and ended at the beaches of Conchal around 6pm. With JP’s background as a professional driver, body guard, and medic we always felt very safe. We had many great conversations about the Costa Rican culture, farms/towns we were driving through, and we even practiced a little bit of Spanish. On our drive we stopped and did a 2.5 mile hike to amazing blue waterfalls. JP did the hike with us and was able to point out snakes, monkeys, and various birds. We had a great experience and hope JP will be our driver next time we visit.

Good tour - A must do tour is the hiking on the Arenal volcano
Wife and I decided to do ir with Jacamar ( the gril in hotel really know how to sell)
The hiking in the volcano is very beatiful, the landscaes are really good and a lot of animals everywhere
But the best part of it was the guide, he really know about the volcano the fauna, the flora, the history of Arenal volcano
All my group was shocked on what they are saying
After that we went to Tabacon
Such a beauty
You will find so many hot springs in a very romantic place
My only tip is if you are and adventorous like us dont stay more than 3 horse or you will get bored
The only bad point is a little expensive

Very long wait between activities - 2 groups were combined, they did the hanging bridges and we did the hike. After we finished, we waited over an hour for the other group to pick us up, which is completely unacceptable. We did not have lunch until after 3pm, our time at the hot springs was cut short because we needed to get to dinner at 6pm and we were not even hungry!
