“John was an awesome guide for our tubing, horseback riding and zip lining! So much fun and wonderful views! We saw lots of birds including a huge heron and even monkeys. We drove ourself so we were a little nervous about how it was going to go. It was easy to find using Waze. Everything was very easy and everyone was very friendly and helpful. A wonderful way to spend the day!”

“Francisco is the best guide! He took pictures of everything for us and was so knowledgeable. We are a family of 4 and did the Adventure day which was ziplines, horseback riding, white water rafting and spa and hot springs. The horses are lovely and so well trained, plus the Costa Rican people are amazing. The lunch was great too! Pura Vida”
