    Wonderful adventure
    Raul and Jorge were great! Rail was amazing with my kiddos, keeping them engaged throughout the day, finding them special rocks, pointing out animals, helping them take fun pictures. My youngest (6) became his shadow for the 2nd half of the day. Both were very kind and professional. We saw SO MANY animals! Baby lizards, tarantulas, monkeys, a baby viper . . . It was a just a great day. Thanks so much Raul and Jorge!

    Fun and exciting white water rafting trip through Costa Rica jungles
    We had a great time White Water Rafting in Costa Rica! Our guide, Alan, did a great job of navigating us down the river and also making it fun going through the rapids. He also found other fun activities along the way, like swimming in the slower areas and visiting a hot spring area, and pointed out a few sloths and iguanas. The fruit stop and lunch at the end were also delicious.

    Overall, we would highly recommend this activity when visiting the Arenal area. It was our favorite acitvity during our trip!

    Adrenaline Rush
    We did the double ATV ride! By far, this is my husband’s favorite tour. We loved our tour guide. We got to explore the volcano area and put on mud masks. If you are looking for a bit of adrenaline, this is the tour for you.

    Adrenaline Rush!!!!
    From start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of incredible. Let me share some highlights and reasons why I highly recommend this adventure tour:

    Thrilling Activities: This tour offered a wide range of adrenaline-pumping activities that catered to all adventure enthusiasts. Whether it was zip-lining, rippling next to the waterfall, hiking, and horseback riding at the end! Allen was one of our guides and he kept it fun and safe. Not for the faint of heart , climbing the ladder was the most challenging part. Overall Will do it again!!!

    Must do if in Costa Rica on a short stay!
    The entire trip was well worth it. Super well organized, effortless on our end (tourists) and very interactive. Adriana our tour guide was phenomenal. She spoke in both Spanish and English fluently. Very knowledgeable about all the questions we asked her. She had great stories about the history in Costa Rica, which explained how Costa Rica became what it is today. We tried many different foods, juices and fruits. I do recommend eating beforehand as it’s an early start to the day (our pick up was 6:55AM) and you don’t eat a big meal till noon. The look out on the waterfall with the hummingbirds and the zip lining was my favourite part of the day. Adrianna really encouraged me when i was feeling very scared before the zip lining. I really appreciated that very much. Ending the day off at the hot springs was desperately needed after a full day of travelling. Overall 10/10 experience. The onlly thing i wish we got to see were sloths, but you cannot control nature. They live on their own schedules! Either way I’ll be back to Costa Rica and i definitely recommend this to all first time visitors. Kids are welcome. Definitely bring a change of clothes if you intend on going in the Springs!

    A wonderful day
    Very nicely done, our guide Oscar and driver Johann are the best. An expert lesson in botany. A wonderful lunch and snacks. We could not have asked for more. Well worth the cost. A day well spent.

    Wonderful day, great guide
    Great tour!
    Santiago was our guide and was great at explaining to us not only the waterfalls and pools, but also the wildlife. He cared so much about the wildlife and nature around him and was very enthusiastic about the animals he found. Not only that, he was conscientious around the animals to ensure he didn't cause any stress with our presence.
    No bug spray/suncream allowed in the parks, apply before you go in so you don't harm the wildlife.
    Pineapple snack after we finished the tour and then casado lunch at a local soda.
    Really great day with lots of beautiful photo opportunities.
    There are many stairs down (and back up!) from the waterfall which I would say was the hardest part. The rest was rambling over rocks etc which was fine.

    FUN WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS
    Alex and the team were friendly, informative and made ziplining a blast for our group. I highly recommend heading to Arenal Mundo Aventura if you are in the area. For a fun time with family and friends, this is your place to go. They have so many adventures to experience but ziplining over the waterfall was by far my favorite.

    Amazing!
    It was amazing! Our guide guide Andrea was very informative and kind. We made many stops along the way to the volcano and hit springs.
    Zip lining was amazing and such a beautiful view.
    Hot springs were great and very relaxing. Be prepared as it a very long tour and all day.

    If you do one tour this is the one! Amazing place and people.
    I can say enough about how amazing this venture was. Our guide, Ruban, was super nice and funny and has a great eye for sporting wildlife. We saw sloths, toucans, and some monkeys. The walk is easy and there is Fresh fruit at the end. Marisol who checked us in was one of the sweetest beautiful peopleI had met. I'm going to make a donation to sloth rescue in honor of this wonderful company. I recommend 1000% .
