Juan and his associate were terrific! Highly recommend them for this tour (we booked it through Amstar at Secrets Papagayo). Saw sea turtles and a really cool cave where the water came crashing through as the tide came in. Lots of whitecaps on the return trip (that was blast!). Highly recommend this tour.

Costa Rica xplores were great! We booked the boating adventure also. You must request the rooster fish. The captain and the deckhand Neggro were absolutely amazing!!!

Wow, what an exciting adventure! The adventure golf course at Hollandpark is simply amazing! I had a fantastic time putting through the scenic Dutch courses. The landscape is stunningly landscaped, with picturesque waterfalls and lush greenery. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I can't wait to come back and have even more fun. There are over 25 courses and unfortunately we didn't get to play all of them - but that just gives me one more reason to come back and have even more adventures!

Had the best time on the guided jet ski tour. Ariel was phenomenal and showed us some amazing sights around the bay including caves, famous homes and took us snorkeling on an isolated beach where we saw thousands if tropical fish and 6 sea turtles. Awesome time if you are in the are dont pass up this tour. Big Pappi booked the tour and usually hang out at the beach and you can book directly with him. Pura Vida!

The tour guide Victor was amazing and very personable. The views were amazing and Victor took a lot of photos for me. Thank you so much Aron “Big Papi” for setting everything up!

Eduardo and Miguel are amazing! We went jet-skiing and snorkeling. The price is much better than going through the hotel, and it supports the local economy. Eduardo really cares and is incredibly friendly. I hope to use Costa Rica Xplores when I come back to see Costa Rica again!

Seeing caves made by volcanos was amazing. Our guide Jonathan took many pictures. We were thankful. The monkey head a neat.

Great experience working with big papi and Eduardo on the beach in front of planet Hollywood. Don't be fooled, these guys are legit and half the cost of booking with the hotels. We also got massages on the beach and called them to help us arrange transport to the airport. 4 thumbs up for big papi and Eduardo. Our jet ski tour was with victor who did great in showing us around. Definitely will call these guys when we're back next in Costa Rica.

The trip was absolutely amazing. The guide made sure we felt safe and comfortable. They gave us a 2 seater because my wife didn’t want to drive one which was very helpful. We went at high tide so we couldn’t drive through the cave but seeing the river with all the trees in the water was unreal. Will definitely book again when I come back.
