Great 4X4 Experience - Great trip! Highly recommend this excursion. Great way to experience a different side of Jaco. Our guide picked us up in the vehicle at our condo and we went to the office to sign paperwork, then we headed to the mountains. We drove through small villages and stopped at a bar and sampled their "moonshine". Beer and water were provided on the ride and at stops. We went to the waterfall and everyone had time to climb the rocks and jump in or you could just watch. After about 1/2 hour we left the waterfall and continued to explore the rain forest. We then stopped at a village bar and had a great local prepared lunch. My only recommendation for this tour would be to have some kind of microphone system for the guide to use so that all could hear him. We would have like to learn more about the area, but it was hard for us to hear the guide. However, our guide was great. Very friendly and drove very responsibly. We felt very safe!

Bumpy Rain Forest - It was great experience going through Rain forest, just be ready for the real bumpy ride. Lot of greenery, small villages within forest with Papaya farms.

Wow! - We had an absolute fantastic time with Mike and JP! They were very informative about sights, culture, and any questions they had. They made our trip so much fun by pitting the 2 vehicles against each other by racing each other and splashing in the water and mud! This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica and were sad when the tour came to an end! Thanks guys for an amazing time!

Jaco Experience - Scenery was amazing, the waterfall was great with all the party jumping off the rocks into the pool. The lunch was one of my favorites as it was a jungle cafe with delicious food and drinks.

I booked this excursion... - I booked this excursion and it was changed to the ‘boozy cruise’. Which was fine but it wasn’t boozy. I was expecting a little bit of history but that fell short. The day was mostly riding around in an 4x4.

I’d recommend it. - The staff is incredible, informative and fro
Friendly. Really enjoyed the waterfall, the “rope jump” was fun. The view at lunch was wonderful as was the food. I could have done with 15/20 minutes at the “Jaco Sign”, deducted from the Fall time. A little more openness on the “commute” to and fro.

Pretty waterfall and good food - Our tour guide was great. Very friendly and kept us safe. He stopped to show us macaws, toucans, a leaf that turns red when you squish it, we saved a turtle off the road and we stopped at a bar by the river.
Why there is only 3 stars, it was not what I was expecting. We were on the road the entire time. About 45 min to the bar. Then another 30-45min to the waterfall. The waterfall was beautiful and we were able to take a swim which was nice. Then it was about 30min to the restaurant where we had lunch. Lunch was great and the staff was wonderful. Locals were a little rowdy but the guides were professional.
After lunch it was about another hour on the road back to the adventure park office.
All in all, it was nice. Just not what was expected. I wasn’t expecting to be on the road the whole time.
