A great sample of the natural splendour of Rincón de la Vieja - My family had a wonderful time on our tour of some of the sights of the Guanacaste region! Our guide Immanuel was cheerful, helpful and professional. We spent the morning hiking and saw tons of wildlife, including monkeys, birds, and iguanas - we even spotted a tapir in the wild! A dip in a waterfall, a delicious lunch and a soak and mud bath in a hot spring rounded out our experience of the Rincón de la Vieja area. It's a long day, so we really appreciated the cooler of cold bottled water between stops. All in all, a great tour for kids and adults alike. Thanks for having us, Pura Vida!

Everyone’s favorite day! - We booked this trip as a private tour. We had a group of 8 adults. Franco was our driver- what a wealth of knowledge!! We learned so much from him about the culture and nature of Costa Rica! He even stopped and helped us pick out fresh fruit at a stand on our way home! Hernan was our tour guide and he rearranged our day so we would be sure to be able to do all activities (it was a rare rainy day during dry season). The waterfall swimming was a favorite highlight of the entire trip for many of us! And although we did have some winds and rain, the volcano hike was very informative and fun - we even saw a few spider monkeys! Lunch was VERY good and we finished with the hot springs/mud baths and a jump in the river- a perfect day for us!!!

Volcano hike - Amazing experience. The walk was spectacular. The trail led us to a beautiful pool where we could swim and relax. During the tour we saw many animals, what made the experience even more special is that you can drink beer hehe. It was a perfect plan to enjoy with friends and connect with nature. Definitely recommended! Pure life!

Fantastic private day trip! - Rafa picked us up and dropped us back at our airbnb which was so more relaxing than us driving somewhere to meet. Hernan was with us the entire time and during the hike, he pointing out monkeys and other wild life and also educating us on volcano activity. The waterfall was so beautiful (and not crowded), clear water, refreshing! And what fun to finish with the mud bath, so relaxing. Hernan left us alone there for a whileto relax, very appreciated. We got to the luch buffet late and I was starving! All and all, a wonderful excursion. I highly recommend doing the excursion private if you can so you can proceed at your own pace.
