    Flawless
    This was a fantastic day trip. The food was great, the activities were fantastic, and relaxing in the hot springs later in the day was amazing.
    If you are in Guanacaste with a day to kill this is the tour for you.

    Review of: Blue Dolphin Sailing Adventure
    Sunset catamaran
    Fun boating catamaran. Mixed crowd of families and younger people partying. Unlimited drinks very good. Took us to a spot with other tourist catamarans to swim and hang out for an hour and then sailed back to tamarindo for the sunset it was an amazing sunset definitely more of a party boat with the music and dancing. They provided round trip transport for us from our hotel in Brasilito area. Food for lunch was great only thing was it was served later around 4pm after hours of drinking in the sun and ocean everyone forgot about the food I would eat before the boat ride or bring snacks if needed. The Catamaran we originally booked was for the morning and got canceled 5 days in advance because lack of minimum people needed to boat we were easily booked on the sunset cruise which starts around 1pm and ends around 6pm with a discount very nice of the company.

    Review of: Rio Celeste Hiking, Sloth Sanctuary & Llanos de Cortes Waterfall Tour
    On time, curated content, great tour guides, comfortable transportation.
    Absolutely love the trip to the waterfalls and to the sloth sanctuary with Jorge. Shuttle arrived on time and was well equipped and comfortable. I enjoyed the stop at El Jardine for souvenirs and breakfast. Absolutely loved the curated hike through the rainforest and the beautiful Reault Celeste waterfall that was bright blue for our visit. I would recommend that anyone with any health issues avoid the steps going up and down to the waterfall. Truly enjoyed the sloth sanctuary with Daniel as our guide. Saw many sloths, green tree toads, red dart frogs, and many beautiful plants. Enjoyed also the waterfall at the end of the trip. Was quite refreshing. Would recommend water shoes as the little fish were eating the little pieces of dry skin on the bottom of my feet which was weird. All in all a great day with great people and a beautiful country. My only regret is that I didn’t buy the poncho before heading into the rainforest.

    Review of: BEST ATV Tour Mountain & Beach From Tamarindo -Flamingo Beach
    Fun tour, beautiful beaches, and a super friendly guide
    My wife and I book a relatively impromptu tour while we were in Tamarindo and it was super easy to book, they picked us up at our hotel and it was very affordable. Carlos was our driver and he was incredibly friendly. We got lucky and had the guide to ourselves so it was a nice excursion. While out riding, one of the ATVs broke down while I was riding it but they had another one delivered in a few minutes. I'm very comfortable on motorcycles and ATVs but my wife is not. Eric the guide showed her how to use it (clutchless automatics). She was comfortable enough to ride her own all day and did very well. We rode through some of the neighborhoods near the rental garage and then headed towards the beach. Eric took us to some really cool beaches that were completely empty and insanely beautiful. We went to a few more beaches and through the woods. We saw howler monkeys while riding. It was a great way to spend a few hours. I was worried about footwear so I wore shoes but it can be done in sandals. You might get muddy so consider bringing a spare shirt/shorts. If its dry you might want a bandana.

    Review of: Combo Day Trip: Zipline, Hotsprings and Horseback Riding
    Didn’t want it to end!
    Our group of 4 had the BEST day! We were gone for nearly 11 hours and I surprisingly was sad it was over. The day is filled with so many fun activities, but our wonderful, chill and knowledgeable guide Abel, made it even better. We also had a fun group of other people from all over and we all just had fun! The zip lining, hot springs and lunch were my favorite things!! Well worth the money! I highly recommend!

    This experience was everything. Jeffery is an amazing soul as well as his brother. This was a solo trip for me so when it came down to safety, they did everything to make sure i was comfortable and secure. They provided me transportation from my stay to the experience with a fair price & made sure I had a quality time. Must book with them, thank you guys & definitely seeing you again when I come back.

    Review of: Full-Day Adventure Tour in Guanacaste with Lunch
    Absolutely use Alex on the Beach!
    We had the absolute best time on this tour. We got picked up from our hotel and drove to the Buena Vista lodge and park. There we did a number of activities, including zip lining, horseback riding, hot springs, mud bath, culture tour, and lunch. The best part was we had an essentially private tour - it was just the two of us and our tour guide, while many of the other tours had dozens of people. We were able to get priority access to zip lining, which was so much fun (though also VERY high up and somewhat terrifying). I would absolutely recommend Alex on the Beach for this tour - we had a very knowledgeable tour guide who was very friendly, without being too intrusive or annoying. 100% recommend.

    Review of: Arenal Volcano and Hot Springs Day Trip from Guanacaste
    Beautiful hot springs, great tour guide
    Loved our tour guide! He even stopped along the side of the road multiple times so that we can capture photos of sloths, birds, monkeys, etc.

    Breakfast at Macadamia Cafe was outstanding with a breathtaking view of Arenal Lake.

    There was no hike along the skirt of the volcano. We went to Arenal National Park and walked through their rainforest. It was nice but this was not a hike.

    Lunch and dip at Baldi Hot Springs was fantastic. Beautiful resort and we had access to the hot springs for a few hours which was nice. You have a perfect view of the Arenal Volcano.

    Loved this day trip!

    BEST EXPERIENCE EVER
    I loved everything about this. It was such a beautiful and relaxed trip. The crew is more than amazing. They make sure they’re communicating with you the whole time. I was talking to some of the whole trip like we were long time friends. They make you feel so welcomed and goes above and beyond to make sure you enjoy the whole duration. By the way the food was amazing and the watching the sunset was an experience itself. Thanks so much to the crew. Shoutout to Yohan and Nathan, I loved them.
