Day excursion in Costa Rica - It was truly an amazing day! From the horseback riding to the hot springs … and everything in between! What an adventure. Our guide Jimmy was knowledgeable and hysterical at the same time. I would recommend Themis trip for all ages. Our kids loved it!!! Jack and Deb Toronto, Canada

Private mega combo Buena Vista excursion - Our family had the best time! Our driver, Livingston, & tour guide,Jimmy, were amazing on our private excursion! They met our requests and exceeded our expectations with ziplining, horseback riding, lunch and mud bath and pool! Everyone had Buena Vista was very kind and hospitable. All were very enjoyable and we just had a wonderful time!! Highly recommend!

Awesome experience - We stayed at the RIU palace in Guanacaste, our tour guide Luis was awesome. It was 14 of us in a big group. We arrived there and some of us went on the hanging bridges and some to the zip lines, we continued with a Buffett which was delicious then we went horseback riding through the forest. We finished off at the spa which was relaxing before heading back to our hotel. We had a blast to say the least. I would recommend Luis as a tour guide since he knows of all the spots and has his hookups. We only payed $120 each with him. You can reach him on WhatsApp and he will respond. +506 8439 0024.

Awesome day out - Great day out made by our awesome host for the day Walter. After being picked up from our hotel our host Walter gave us a quick update on recent Costa Rican history which was really interesting. Upon arrival at site we undertook the horse riding activity which was fun as a complete novice. Then we went for a cultural tour where we learnt about traditional foods and industries, and a local villager demonstrated how they make artefacts. Next was ziplining or hanging bridges, having just done some zip lines elsewhere we went on the hanging bridges which was fun. Next was a traditional Costa Rican lunch which was delicious. The afternoon session started with the jungle water slide which was amazing fun. A few of us then went for a quick hike to see a hidden waterfall which was a highlight. Last activity was sauna and mud baths and hot pool to allow us all to relax and set off in the journey home. Thanks Walter for a great day, would highly recommend

A fun day out - We booked this excursion through the TUI app. It was very well organized as a coach picked us up from our hotel at 07:30. We had a tour guide and a driver. The tour guide stayed with us the whole day. Something to be aware of- it says the excursion lasts approximately 8 hours which it does but it takes 2 hours by coach to get to the activity centre. (We stayed at RUI Palace but travel time is about the same from most hotels as the activity centre is very remote) This means that once you minus travel time, lunch and an unexpected talk about sugar and pot making which wasn't listed on the itinerary, you're left with about 3 hours of activity time. We started with the zipline. We were given our equipment and shown how to use it. You're given a pair of gloves with a big piece of leather that you use to slow your speed. The trek up to the first zipline took about 10 minutes. Uphill in the heat- I struggled but made it. The zip line was amazing. You do 7 in total. To be aware of- as soon as you finish one zipline you have to walk up another short hill to the next ziplines. It's very fast moving...a little rushed as they're trying to get you through as quickly as possible. They take photos of you on the 5th zipline. If you choose not to zipline you can back out at any time and walk over the hanging bridges instead. We then did horse riding. The horses looked well kept and there were a lot of them so I doubt the same horses were being used for rides all day. The trip was very hilly...I felt sorry for my horse having to go up such steep hills! Going down was a bit scary in parts. Lasted 35 minutes. You can also choose to sit this out if you like. We then did the waterslide. You walk up the same trek as the zipline so I decided to sit it out as I was exhausted. The waterslide looked fun, my husband said it went very fast and was a bit uncomfortable as it is concrete. Girls were being given leather 'nappies' to wear to stop their skin from being scratched. They also provide towels. Lunch was good- a buffet of local food like beans, rice, chicken and beef with a glass of juice. There was a payable bar too. We brought photos of our activities ($25 for 2 activities or $30 for 3) We then took a tractor ride to the thermal spa which was beautiful. We just wish someone had told us to bring cash as the bar only accepted cash and not even bottled water was complimentary. The pools are lovely and warm with beautiful views. There is only one sign saying don't put your head under the water to prevent amebic meningitis which a lot of people missed - so be aware of that! All in all, a fun day out but absolutely exhausting! Top Tips: 1. Bring zip pockets to store your camera/phone for the zipline. 2. Bring water shorts for the slide. 3. Bring cash
