Ivantours exceeded all my expectations during their tour to Tortuguero National Park, the Pacuare Rafting and across Costa Rica. From the moment I joined the tour, I felt in the hands of professionals who genuinely care about creating unforgettable experiences. The Tortuguero tour was a perfect blend of adventure and education, with opportunities to witness turtle nesting and explore the intricate canals. Their passion for preserving the environment was evident, and I was proud to support such responsible tourism practices. Ivantours is a must for anyone seeking an authentic and enriching journey through Costa Rica.

Great daytrip to Tortuguero. Our guide and driver went out of their way to make sure every participant's needs were met and to show us as much as possible of the wonderful wildlife. The trip was very well organised incl. breakfast, lunch and the activities. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Ivantours sold me entry tickets for Tortuguero National Park at a price of 25$ per person while the regular price is 17$ government taxes incl. No other service was offered.
Better buy your tickets directly at the park itself or at an honest accommodation you are staying at!

It happens that we helped you book your entry for Tortuguero National Park. However, when paying with a credit card, we had to charge you the respective state tax levies. We would like to be able to sell you this entry at the park's price of $17, but when paying us with a card, we must add the tax costs and the bank commission. We regret the confusion.

We booked a 3 days Tortuguero trip with Ivan tours and we can’t complain about the tour and the activities. But we have been debited twice for the full amount (about 740 euro!). So we promptly informed them and they confirmed that it was a mistake and that would have contacted their bank. It was the beginning of July and after then silence. I hope to have my money back. The payment was done directly through credit note (I usually use PayPal Payment but it is not available for Ivan tours).

Hello. We have made the respective refund. We apologize for the confusion, but your reservation came through to us twice, so the automatic system charged it twice. However, we have coordinated the refund with the bank. On another note, we do accept payments via PayPal, but according to our records, you never asked us about this. Thank you very much.

My wife and I recently used Ivantours for a trip to Guatemala, Costa Rica and Panama. Beautiful places to visit. Regarding Ivantours, the hotels and tours were fantastic. Service provided as per their schedule with a hassle free journey. Our trip to the Ruins of Tikal in Guatemala was impressive, the Baldí Hot Springs Arenal in Costa Rica is worth it, going through the Panama Canal by boat was a dream come true. Thank you Ivantours.

I recently came back from the 2 day rafting trip. It was the most authentic activity that we did in all of Costa Rica. Luis, is an incredible rafter and host. The meals were fantastic and he was so much fun. He really made the experience. He should be commended for such a great experience.

Excellent experience with Ivantours. We had a super fun time in Costa Rica. Perfect trip to see many of the hightlights Costa Rica has to offer. But one of our favorite charms was the Baldi Hot Springs in Arenal. We really enjoyed the natural hot springs and perfect view of Arenal volcano right from our room. Beautiful grounds and spacious room. Thank you Ivan, we will surely call you for our next trip.

Website told us what we needed, but felt it wasn't accurate. Didn't need the recommended jacket and towel (they give you a towel at the end). You must have correct foot wear (water shoes/sandals) and wear a short or long sleeve rash guard-type shirt (not t-shirts). They will sell you all of these there if needed but PLEASE NOTE: They only accept cash (US or Colones) and NO credit. That was a huge shock to us, especially since the photo package at the end was $50 cash! The photos were gorgeous, but who brings that kind of cash with them white water rafting?

We did the one-day trip down the Pacuare on August 11th. We went with Costa Sol from San Jose and their guides were excellent and safety-conscious. It's a long day, but well worth the $99 per-person cost. Raul was our guide throughout the day and Juan led us down the river while Raul served as our safety kayaker. They were both wonderful. Raul is full of knowledge about the plants of Costa Rica and the drive was beautiful. Breakfast was delicious. We took our children, ages 16, 14 and 11 and they loved it. I was a little worried that the 11-year-old would be too little to handle the Class 3 and 4 rapids, but Juan added a safety line for her to hold during the biggest rapids. Most of the time, she rowed with the rest of us and had a blast. I had read that the Pacuare is considered one of the five best rivers in the world and locals fought an attempt to dam it in recent years. It remains free-flowing and beautiful. What a privilege to see it. We got to jump in the water during a calm stretch and float through a beautiful canyon. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get back into the raft but we pulled each other right back in. None of us fell into the river by accident. Even if you do, the water is warm and the guides quickly pull you back in. Zip-lining in Costa Rica was fun. But rafting was over the top. In Colorado, our rafting season lasts just a couple of months in the summer since our rivers swell with snowmelt. In Costa Rica, rain fills the river. We found the conditions great in August. Our guides told us they can often raft the Pacuare year-round. You can do expensive trips where you stay overnight in an edo-lodge along the river. These look fun, but they raft the same 18 miles that we did. However you do it, raft the Pacuare.
