I've lived here over 8 years and have seen the signs driving by but never knew what it was...and then I went. OMG this place is amazing! Even in the pouring rain, my guests had a ball traversing the hanging bridges, viewing the spectacular waterfalls, hiking the trails through the rainforest. This place is going on my MUST DO list...

We visited Rainmaker toward the end of our vacation, had already done a variety of hikes and hanging bridges. Almost didn't go as in one guide book they listed the entrance fee at $70. We called and were tole that the self guided tour was $15. So glad we went. A nice hike, more "exciting" hanging bridges, great views and... More

Far better than Manuel Antonio National Park This is a taxi ride away from Manuel Antonio ($35 taxi ride) ... but worth it for sure. Amazing nature, but for sure I recommend taking the guide as they are knowledgeable and extremely friendly. They make the difference for sure. Our guide Louis was amazing! 10 out of 10! Also for sure... More

Booked this ATV tour through our hotel. We booked the afternoon time and we were the only 2 on the tour. Our guide, Carlos,( hopefully this is correct) was fantastic. We booked only 1 ATV and I rode on the back.( ask for towel to sit on so it is a bit more comfortable) We had a blast, riding through... More

We tried to visit Rainmaker years ago but it was closed, so we were very excited to hear it was operating again and didn’t think twice, although we had no idea what to expect. The park is absolutely beautiful, everything you could expect from a Costa Rican rain forest. Hot, green and humid, with lots of fauna (yes, bugs too,... More

We arrived at the park in an early afternoon. It was very quiet as there was just one other family who arrived earlier and they just finished lunch there. No guide was present so we did a self-guided walk. It is fairly straight forward, as the trail is just a loop and it is marked with sign posts along the... More

We had hiked the trails of Manuel Antonio and were looking for a different experience. The Rainmaker Park is close to Quepos (about 30 min drive) and is privately owned. The owner met us and told us about the trails and which direction to go in. It was a nice hike, lots of suspension bridges with beautiful scenery. Near the... More

My husband and I are in our 60's and enjoyed this park. There are a lot of steps going up but they provide walking sticks (useful especially going down). The swinging bridges were really swinging bridges...take you time, enjoy the view, but some were a little scary. Beautiful waterfalls and pools of water. We didn't swim but we saw others... More

A 2 or so mile long walk up and down hillsides and across canopy walkways that sway and thrill. Not for the faint-at-heart but no skills required. The park is nicely maintained and the staff of one was pretty laid back. We went in March which may not be a rainy period but had there been rain, there would have... More

This was a wonderful, beautiful walk up, up, up through the canopy - they give you walking sticks as well (which believe me, I'm glad I took one - they really help propel you upwards when walking); lots of hanging bridges of varying sizes that allow you to look straight down into the canopy and above beautiful little waterfalls.
