My husband and I decided to go zip-lining for the first time while in Puerto Viejo and the experience we had was fantastic! The guides were friendly and the driver was on time picking us up. A great value for the money in our opinion. There were many platforms and I would not recommend this experience for those with difficulty... More

This was out first expedition upon arriving in the rainforest and was the best! We booked the zip line canopy tour with Terraventuras through the Nature Resort we were staying at (Samasati) and were picked up there. The ride up the hill was in the back of a pickup truck (with roof but open sides) and a bit bumpy, but... More

My husband and I went on the canopy zipline tour and has a blast! As someone else mentioned, there was no rush to get to the site and we were definitely on tico time. We even made an unexpected roadside stop to see a dead Fer-de-Lance some man was holding up on the side of the road. Once at the... More

We booked two tours with Terraventuras - the Waterfall which included the Indigneous Reseervation and the Chocolate Lady and the ATV tour which included the Indigneous Reservation and the Waterfall. Why did we go to the same places twice? Because when we booked the ATV tour, the staff memeber failed to tell us that we were duplicating. Not to worry,... More

We chose to do ziplining with Terraventures. They were accomodating with booking the adventure and the staff we worked with were all very friendly. The guides we had while ziplining were fantastic, it was a great experience! More

My husband and I did a number of adventures with Terraventuras including a zip line tour, and a snorkeling tour. Both were super fun. The guides picked us up at our hotel (Samasati, which was awesome) and took us on our adventure before bringing us back. Our guides were knowledgable and fun for our tours. I would highly reccomend this... More

We did a Cahuita snorkel & hike tour. Our trip with Terraventuras did not start out very well, but we ended up with a fabulous day. At the start we had to change vans 3 times. With the first one that picked us up from the hotel, the change was sudden & occurred while I was in the office paying... More

Dear Carolyn, We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the rich caribbean nature during our snorkeling tour in Cahuita. We appologize for the fact that the van broke down and that you needed to change vans. We agree that this is not the best way to start an exciting tour. At the moment we are paying more attention to... More

My boyfriend and I recently went on an ATV tour booked with terraventures through Gecko Trail and had a great time!!! Our guide Randy was phenomenal, going above and beyond by taking us to this secluded waterfall you could jump off of and swim in! The ATVing was very safe, fun, except for a few nervous moments going down hills...which... More

Well, it started with them forgetting to pick us up from our hotel, we ended up waiting until they were about 25 minutes late before saying something. the lady at the desk called someone, looked worried and said they were just late because there was a pick-up in manzanillo, a town approx 20-30 minutes away. so, we waited and then...
