Justin was hands down a wonderful excursion pro. We booked several trips with his help and he was so on top of it with communication. We booked a waterfall excursion, a day on atvs and the most wonderful sunset sailboat ride with Captain Gene and First Mate Vic. (request them if you want to sail -they were truly the best!) Our family would recommend JUSTIN and WET AND WILD for booking trips

Our family of 4 spent a week in Playa Potrero. Justin and his outfitters were superb from start to finish. He was always quick to respond and upfront about costs and all the details. We scheduled everything before we left, 3 hour ATV in the mountains and a 2 hour sunset beach ride.
They'll transport you or you can meet them. Paying cash saves you money, but you can use credit cards. Actually, our stay in CR was via mostly just using credit cards. We brought some US dollars and got a few Colones from the supermarket, never had to use the ATM.
We followed our guide up to the ATV place, All of us had no experience(including two teens). They explained everything, and we practiced a short bit in the parking area, helmets, goggles, face scarves, and then we were off. A bit on the road then off road past farms, small villages, through shallow rivers, seeing animals,. monkeys, waterfalls, lots of pictures.
For the horseback ride, Justin drove my wife and youngest daughter(both highly experienced riders) to nearby Brasilito beach where they met up with a local guide and then rode over to beautiful Conchal beach by the Westin- walk, trot, cantor, all according to one's capabilities. Too much fun!
Justin arranged the trips for just us alone. The prices are extremely reasonable. The guides were safety minded. Highly recommended! We'll use him when we come back- lots of neat choices for adventure. Got to do the catamaran. Many thanks Justin!

Justin and Jonny were simply amazing. They accommodated changes and helped us squeeze in everything we wanted to do. Jonny was our personal tour guide on 2 different days of excursions and by the end was more than a guide but had become our friend. We were here for a week and enjoyed pick up and delivery at our airbnb by Jonny, who shared stories and history from the local perspective while making sure we got to everything in time. We did a lot, small group tour thru the local river in a preserve, spotting a variety of birds, crocs, and monkeys, Justin set us up on a sunset catamaran tour with snorkeling, then Jonny once again delivered and delighted us with a jungle hike to see secluded waterfalls, zip lining, tubing, hot springs, and still squeezed in a personal tour of a animal rescue sanctuary. It was great to see how much he cared for the animals noting how here, they were only kept because they couldn't survive in the wild compared to just for entertainment. Tomorrow we're going rafting on the rapids and have no doubt we'll enjoy it, too. Each day we were treated to local cuisine that was delicious, as well as prepared by local families who were there as well. Next time we come down, we'll be handing our whole trip to Justin to schedule out, and steer us away from traps. We've traveled many places, and this has been the best experience we've ever enjoyed. Thank you Jonny and Justin, you guys made our vacation unforgettable!

Saw this company was highly rated so we were excited to try and book a last minute tour. Justin was really accommodating and found us a spot for the waterfall and animal sanctuary package but did insist on being paid cash which I found a bit strange. It ended up being his "business partner" Johnathan picking us up in his personal vehicle and driving 1 hour plus through a so called shortcut which made for a very uncomfortable ride for me (5 months pregnant), peppering us with uncomfortable anecdotes and constant complaints about the government etc. The waterfall spot was in fact quite beautiful and was well worth the drive. Can't say the same for the animal sanctuary. It was quite small and all the animals were in cages which is definitely not what we had imagined. Afterward we were promoted to pick a spot for lunch, one of the options being McDonald's, at which point we asked for a local cuisine option of casados and seafood. We ended up at what was clearly a nightclub that also served lunch which he then proceeded to order and disappear for 30 or so minutes. We all finished our lunch (sat together, again, odd) and asked to stick to the main roads on the way back to avoid the bumpy roads on the "shortcut". It was a long ride back that included more complaining about roads and local government and people's driving by which point I had become quite annoyed by and asked his to keep those kinds of comments to himself. He also asked for feedback on the tour and any we provided was quickly rebuffed and argued so we spent the rest of the drive back in silence. All in all it was unlike any tour (much less one rated five stars) I had experienced and would imagine this is a one-off experience that I would encourage anyone else to try and avoid. We do appreciate the accommodation in getting the tour booked but it certainly did not feel up to par with the reputation they've procured as a company.

Sorry you had such a terrible experience on your excursion with us. We always try to give the best experience possible to our clients. Let me just mention that you were offered a 13% discount if you paid cash, card was always an option, so don't insist that cash was your only option.
I've learned you'll never be able to make everyone happy, but we will continue to make changes to constantly better our company and give awesome experiences to our clients.
Please don't let this review speak for our services.

Great service and knowledgeable! We have now used Wet and Wild for booking 5 or 6 trips. Each one has gone smoothly, clear information and great times had by all. Justin is friendly and readily available for any questions. We have booked the ATV, sunset cruises (2), fishing offshore, full day at Guachepelin. Each of these were done with 9 people! I will continue to use Wet and Wild for my bookings in Costa Rica!

We were recommended to book our excursions through wet and wild from a friend, they did not disappoint. Justin was very helpful and responsive in organizing our trips. Fabian our ATV guide was fabulous, we seen monkeys on the tour and several beautiful beaches I can't remember the names of other than Playa Penca which was a ( beautiful beach ). The catamaran sunset tour was an excellent way to end our trip, the service and food on the boat was fantastic. We'll be back and definitely will book again with wet and wild.

We booked a tour for our group of 8 from Playa Potrero to the Arenal area for a rainforest hike, and zip lining with a stop at the Llas Cortez waterfalls en route. The communication with Justin was fantastic and he was so responsive and flexible. Our tour guides, Jose and Jackie, were such lovely people and could not have been nicer. One of our sons got motion sickness from the long, windy car ride and Jose was so kind and patient and did everything he could do help him feel better! And once we arrived at our destination, he led us on a beautiful hike, took us to lunch and then got us all set up for zip lining and met us at the end for the long ride home. Jose was so warm and friendly and made the day so enjoyable for all of us. I highly recommend working with Justin and Costa Rica Wet and Wild for any tour and, if Jose and Jackie represent the guides that are hired for the various tours, you will be in excellent hands!

Justin was fabulous and hooked us up with some great excursions. We went surfing in Tamarindo and took a fabulous sunset boat tour that included snorkeling, fishing, homemade guacamole and sashimi, and an amazing sunset. Justin even stopped by our condo to discuss some options. He was trustworthy, honest, and replied very quickly via email and WhatsApp. I highly recommend using them for all your excursion needs!

We have been using Justin and his team for 3 years now for airport transports , fishing, ATV and zip line. Prices are fair, guides are excellent and response time for booking is very quick. We will use this company whenever we are in CR ( which is annually) and recommend them to anyone looking for tours of any kind.

We've used Costa Rica Wet and Wild to book three trips during our stay at Playa Potrero and if we had more time here I would book even more! Justin is absolutely wonderful - he is so responsive and had great recommendations for me (it was an extended family trip for all 13 of us and finding something for such a large group is not easy). We booked a trip to Palo Verde, a fishing trip (where my husband reeled in an 48 lbs amber jack! among others) and a catamaran snorkling trip and all of these were wonderful. The pickup was prompt, transportation was clean, the guides were great. I cannot recommend Justin highly enough and will definitely be reaching out to him again to help me plan more family adventures next time we are here! So if you are looking for a great, reliable tour operator that gives you personal attention and answers all your questions - look no further!
