Picture this: fresh Costa Rican fare, bursting with flavors, set against the backdrop of a stunning jungle resort. From tropical fruits to perfectly seasoned meats and savory sides, every bite was a treat for the senses. What better way to unwind after an action-packed day than a dip in natural thermal baths? The steam rising from the pools, the sounds of nature all around, and the feeling of pure relaxation made it the perfect end to an unforgettable day.

From high-flying zip lines and adrenaline-pumping water slides to horseback rides through stunning scenery and relaxing thermal baths, this destination has it all.

Must book if you come to Costa Rica! - I flew to Costa Rica with five of my friends to celebrate my birthday and after looking at several tours, this private one was recommended by my Airbnb host. It was great because we were on our own schedule in a private tour rather than a large group and despite the early morning pick up, our driver Pato had us laughing from the second. He came to pick us up. There were long car rides from our place, but he kept us informed, entertained and distracted from the traffic. The tour itself was great. The zip lining was thrilling with a fun surprise on one of the last lines. The horseback riding was a great way to try it out on different terrain with well trained horses. The lunch buffet was good and Pato had the staff surprise me with a song and birthday cake. We opted out of doing the waterslide so that we could have more time at the Hot Springs, which was nice and relaxing. Pato gave us our privacy, but somehow had towels ready and waiting for us as soon as we were getting out. We quickly learned how genuinely kind Costa Rican people are during this trip, but Pato truly made our day. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Costa Rica and request Pato if you can! You won’t be disappointed!

Private Mega Combo tour with Duck - Duck promptly picked us up at our resort. He drove excellently and shared lots of history and knowledge with us on the trip. He took care of our every need while on site. Also, went above and beyond to get us some local fruit we requested on the start of our day. He made us laugh and feel very comfortable and safe.

Great day! - It was a great day! My kids loved it! And Gabriel was a great guide , he was super nice! The food was really good there, and we had so much fun!!

VIP Treatment - Avoids the Crowds - Our tour guide (Doc) was excellent. The tour starts an hour before the others. Why? Because by doing that, and the tour being private, we beat the rush. We causally zip lined as the first people of the day. We casually rode horses, also first. The hot springs nor water slide were crowded because of the sage work done by Doc who was fun, knowledgeable and took care of us completely. The tour itself is excellent. Zip lining was beautiful. The water slide is amazing and fun (and COLD! It’s mountain water. So not surprising. But COLD!). And the hot springs soak was relaxing and perfect. The tour was excellent and worth the cost. By far. Highly recommend.

Great experience! Definetly recommend. - This was the best experience ever! We did the private tour and it was amazing. Oir tour guide Steven was amazing! We got to go Zip Lining, ride horses, try coffee and local food, do the waterside a few times and the hot springs with the sauna and mud. Then we went the the restaurant where we had a delicious lunch with a buffet. Make sure you take you cash with you to the hot springs... you will want some water or a yummy cocktail.

AMAZING ADVENTURE - We had the best day thanks to our driver/tour guide Harold Lopez " Duck"! We were a handful a group of 8 with 4 kids and he was absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond for our group. He is was very communicative and clear with the directions and details. He was also patient, kind and lots of fun! It was definitely an adventure from start to finish. We were in a nice comfortable van with plenty of room and A/C . It was definitely worth the trip! The zip lining was incredible and we felt very safe. The hot springs were so relaxing and they even have a full service bar. Duck was a fantastic guide.

Mega Combo Tour was amazing! - This was my and my husband’s second time visiting Costa Rica. This time with our family, ages ranging from 11-78. We wanted to do an adventurous tour that everyone would have a great time participating in. Harold recommended this one and we were so pleased. Each of us had an amazing experience! From horseback riding to zip lining over the lush canopy it was a thrill. Harold is very knowledgeable, and just an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. He makes sure everyone is enjoying themselves. We have now had the pleasure of working with him on both trips and when we visit again we will definitely be seeing more of his beautiful country with him guiding us.

Great value! Good guide - We thought this tour is a great value! The private aspect gave us the flexibility to change the schedule according to our family’s preferences. The activities were good. Our guide, Mario, was a good planner and helped us to avoid the crowds. Mario’s foresight in planning made our tour feel uncrowded at almost all times which is credible because we were there during the busiest week of the year - Christmas week.
