    Best tour!
    Wonderful tour with the best tour guide - Edgar! He was so knowledgable and personable and had a great sense of humor. We saw so many animals!

    By far the best
    By far this zipline company is simply the best, definitely it's a five star tour, every single detail is very well taken care, all the staff is greatly amiable, they know how to treat all their guests to make them feel secure, pleasant, funny and of course full of adventure, I could feel the adrenaline and saw a lot of vegetation and wildlife, we could feel nature at its best. The food at the end was yummy.
    Joseph, Jairo, Ronald, Marco, Jonathan, Jorge, Johan (the photographer) and mama Roxana and Laura (Nice and great cuisiniers). Guys you all are a great team and a big family that makes you feel so, as in family!!! Highly super recommended.

    Family zipping
    We decided to use this zip line company because it was one of the only ones that would allow a 5 yr old to zip line. The guides were thorough in safety explanations and rules and our family of 6 (including the 5 yr old) had a blast!

    Ever see a boa in the wild?
    The views were amazing! Took so many photos of wildlife and plants. Both Daniel and the boat captain were excellent at spotting hard to find critters - sloths, adolescent crock, birdeating snake, boa constrictor, silky anteater, and many more. A lot of fun in just a couple hours. We'd recommend this company and tour for anyone in the Quepos area.

    X-ray vision
    Roy spotted animals in the forest that even after pointed out, we had to have his help seeing. How does he have this X-ray vision? We really enjoyed our night tour seeing and learning about animals that you don't see during the day.

    Horse back riding in Jaco
    Went on a private 2.5 hour horse back ride through the rain forest and the beach with my boyfriend. Our tour guide, Jorge, was great! He took tons of photos and captured our engagement on the beach! Highly recommended experience!

    Great tour!
    Great company and very fun tour. Very easy to communicate. We are a big group with lots of 12 years old kids. All are first timers for canyoning. We had a blast! Guides are so friendly, hard-working and always there for us. Thank you, Pure Trek Team!

    Beautiful island worth visiting. Tour leader and boat captain were excellent. Hint: pickup times were very early.
    Island worth visiting, tour leader and boat captain were excellent. Beware of morning pickup. Very early 4:15 (we were first) and made 15 stops over 2 hours before departing for beach. Suggest finding out last pickup and Uber there. We did this upon return.

    You will not regret visiting Tortuga Island with Costa Cat!
    This was one of my favorite activities from out week in Costa Rica! It was AMAZING! From the staff to the beach to the activities - we had a group of 7 of us and everyone just raved about this the whole trip. Jordan and Wilbur took great care of us and remembered everyone in our group by name. The snorkeling was a ton of fun and we saw so many fish. Our group did the banana boat which you can pick your level so that’s nice for people who don’t want to get thrown off immediately. The lunch they served on the island was delicious and they do such a great job of check on your for drinks. I love that they had umbrellas and chairs for everyone, we’ve been to other places where you weren’t guaranteed a spot or had to pay extra for an umbrella so that was amazing. The gift shop on the island was actually pretty great - we found several things for us and our kiddos. I highly suggest buying a coconut (rum can be added) it’s was about $7 and totally worth it. The island is beautiful and I would go back in a heartbeat. 100% worth it - I highly recommend this excursion!!

    Our expectations were blown away. The views on the zip line were breath taking. Beautiful trail ride on the horses but the ATVs took the cake. So much fun all around and great hospitality from everyone there especially Chu!

    Costa Rica is breath taking and travelling to Nicaragua is worth it for the views, coffee, food and people. The architecture is beautiful and the boat ride to feed the monkeys was a dream come true for this canadian girl 😍

    Pura Vida aquí si se vive!
    This is was the highlight of the Quepos trip and the main reason why we decided to come back to Quepos. My husband and I came here in 2017 and the experience with amigos del rio ADR was the best so we decided to bring our kids back to do the same adventures. Antonio was our guide in 2017 and he was our guide in 2023 again it was so amazing to see a familiar face Franky & Michael were so amazing 😻 as well. All 3 of them will make the experience so amazing will definitely referral family and friends to ADR and request Antonio, Franky & Michael
