“My family loved the ziplines. Just enough adventure for our 11 & 8 year olds. It was very fun & fast and a lovely view over the river. Francisco was an amazing guide! Took photos & videos for us to remember and pointed out all of the animals & plants along the way. Highly recommend!”

“We had an amazing experience with the adventure day pass tour! Jeremy was the best tour guide ever. He stayed with us the entire time and answered all our questions about Costa Rica and gave us local recommendations. My mom was scared to zip line so he went with her every step of the way and helped her relax and enjoy it. He also took so many pictures and videos for us and made it an unforgettable experience! Definitely would recommend”

“Did a full day tour of zip lining, hiking, waterfall, and hot springs with Jose and everything was wonderful! Even the lunch was delicious! Our group was my family of 10 aging from 10yo to 70yo and each one of us had such a fun experience! The guides were knowledgeable and kind and made sure we got through each excursion safely while still having a blast! Jose was kind enough to also help us with all our photos and videos making sure we had all our experiences documented as a family. Would definitely do this tour again and definitely worth the price!”
