Seriously, book every experience with Don. That’s my biggest regret. I only booked surfing with him as I already had other tours previously booked with bigger named companies.

But this more intimate experience with him, even in the salty, crashing waves was epic. I faced my fears and conquered one of my 40th goals and he made the experience smooth and fun with his booming laughs and expertise. Me and my bestie had a blast and his son captured me on the board, even if it was for only a few seconds, lol. Don was patient and even made sure our items were secured while we embarked the waves.

Don is awesome! He took us to Vandara Hot Springs and Adventure Park for the day, which was a lot of fun, and kept us entertained through the whole trip. The hot springs were amazing. He made us feel very comfortable and I could tell he wanted us to have a good time. His experience shines through. I would highly recommend using him for your excursions over booking through a hotel, it’s far more personalized and enjoyable. When we were unexpectedly delayed in leaving CR he recommended an ATV tour for us that was close to our resort, which we thoroughly enjoyed. He has lots of contacts and experience in CR, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

Don was amazing! Not only did he take us on an incredible tour to multiple locations to see breath taking waterfalls and animals of all kinds, but he also took time to take us to a great souvenir shop and gave us restaurant and sight seeing recommendations for the rest of our trip, which were excellent. Don shared his time, passion; and knowledge and truly treated us like la familia!. Would highly recommend!

We were recently in Costa Rica and I signed my three kids up for surfing lessons with Don in Tamarindo. He was fantastic! None of my kids (ages 15, 14, & 14) had surfed before. He had all three of my kids up on the board on the first or second attempt. He's very patient, friendly, and a hands-on instructor. My three kids had a blast! Plus, his fees are very reasonable, given the kids were in the water for over 90 minutes. They only came in because one started to get cold. Plus, Don brought his daughter who stood on the beach snapping pictures of my kids the entire time. We have a huge photo album now capturing the great memories my kids had surfing in Costa Rica. I highly recommend Don if you want to take surfing lessons.

My family of 4 visited Tamarindo in June-July 2022 and Don surpassed our expectations. Honestly, we had what we thought would be the most amazing experience when we first visited 4 years ago but Don goes above and beyond to personalize your vacation's greatest desire. The Rincon combo was a fabulous way to spend the day. Don picked us up at our rental home in Hacienda Pinilla and drove us out to the volcano tour which included horsebackriding to several zip lines, hot springs, waterfall, and a thrilling water slide. Lunch was included here and traditional tasty local cuisine. Mid-week, Don took us all out on an ATV tour to Playa Conchal; my teens especially loved driving through the water and getting dirty. Our last tour was deep sea fishing with the Captain and owner of Restaurant Pleamar. My oldest son was lucky enough to reel in a sailfish! After a few hours on the water we arrived at the restaurant and were served a delicious casada meal and very refreshing drinks. Don is a vibrant personality and knowlegeable of the area. He is well connected with the persons who book these tours and we felt like we were with family. As a bonus, Don is a licensed realtor so hopefully someday we will call Costa Rica our part-time home.

We are so lucky a friend referred us to Don! He took us on a guided tour to the Rincon volcano area. The first stop is a grocery store…that happens to be home to a wonderful cafe area with great breakfast items. Don took us to several gorgeous sites. But what makes the tour stand out is Don. He has a great sense of humor and so much knowledge about the country. I always have a million questions and Don did his best to answer every one. He exceeded my expectations in every way. Even beyond our guided tour, Don hooked us up with another trail ride and a sunset cruise. If you want a great experience, I highly recommend giving Don a call and enjoying all Get Lost in Costa Rica has to offer!

First, Don was easy to contact and helped us with setting up some amazing tours! His English was impeccable. He was fun and showed us an amazing time in Costa Rica.
We were able to visit some areas that the locals frequented and get more insight to the culture. The wildlife was amazing.
Next time we come to Costa Rica, we will definitely book tours with Don again.
Thanks Don. Come visit us and we will take you to Yellowstone.

I like to adventure out in a lot of places that I visit. That being said, a guide is a pretty important tool when looking for fun, adventure and information. I came across "Get lost in Costa Rica" through the agent that manages the condo we rented. We booked him for 4 adventures and every one of them was over and above what we thought it would be. Don the owner/operator was extremely fluent in english, knows the hot spots and seems to have a good reputation with the tour operators. Being from Canada and not knowing a lot of spanish is was so nice to have a guide that we could talk to and learn so much about the country. If you are looking for a great experience, look no further. This company should be the blue print to what a tour company should be. Reliable, Safe, Knowledgable and stress free. Thanks for making our vacation epic Don.

Don was our "go to" last week in Costa Rica!

He took us on a full day jungle tour, including zip lining, a jump and swim in the river, horseback riding and hot springs/mud bath. Don and his son also taught our girls how to surf - they are so experienced, patient and encouraging. The girls loved it!

He also arranged for our Catamaran sail and our airport transport to/from LIR.

Don is an energetic, experienced guide who wants to make your Costa Rican experience special. I highly recommend you reach out to him if you are visiting Tamarindo!!

I was recommended by a friend to use Don as
our guide for the Palo Verde national park tour. A must do excursion to get a different perspective on a boat to see the different animal life who live by the water E.g. crocodiles, birds, bats, monkeys, lizards.

We were picked up in a clean, newer SUV and had a private tour on our own boat lead by a captain who well maneuvered the boat to ensure we got as close as possible to take pictures. Don was funny, personable and so friendly. He has a passion for his job and is so knowledgeable.

The lunch stop in a local restaurant nearby was superb so some really good home cooking. Stewed chicken pieces, sliced pork with onions and the usual costa-rica staples: rice, beans, corn tortillas, sautéed squash, and salad with fresh pineapple juice.

He offers a variety of tours so check his company out. You too will be very satisfied.
