  This is a must do adventure in Costa Rica! Harold with Neotropical Adventures entertained us on our ride to/from the Mega Tour from our hotel and was with us for anything we needed during the day to prepare for each event! Such an amazing, fun experience !!

  I booked this excursion through Viator. It was absolutely amazing! Our driver and guide was Pato and he picked us up from our resort at the RIU Palace CR and guided us through each activity so that we would experience every thing as intended. This excursion includes a wonderful Costa Rican lunch that was delicious and plenty!

  Oliver was an amazing guide!! I did change our departure from 6:30 to 7:30 in the morning because our resort didn’t serve breakfast until 6:30 and you just can’t go all day with kids without eating. Viator also didn’t really list important info like where we were actually going (Buena Vista Del Ricon) or the distance to travel there (2.5 hours each way). They did not provide water bottles like the ad stated. And we didn’t know our things would stay in the van all day (and we were near it frequently) so we could pack anything we needed vs packing light (which is what I thought we were supposed to do). Before we left, we ran back to the hotel room to get a change of clothes, chargers, snacks, and the kids tablets for the ride. Oliver was great at letting us know the things we should bring and was very patient. He was a fantastic guide, lead us flawlessly through our day, and we had an absolute blast! The activities were insanely awesome and it was absolutely the highlight of our Costa Rica trip! Honestly, Buena Vista Del Ricon is a MUST do if you visit. Bring cash to tip your guide, they deserve it!

  Ya know how everyone knows a guy who seems to "know a guy" for everything, and knows all the places to go and best times to be there, our tour guide Duck was that guy! Everywhere we went, Duck navigated where we needed to be and told us what to expect. All while pointing out animals and giving us information on Costa Rica, and somehow we magically skipped the line in most places! Duck was super knowledgeable and personable! We had such a great time with him, my son cried when he dropped us off back to the hotel! He definitely left a memorable impression with our family, and we will try to book him again when we can make it back to that beautiful Pura Vida life!

• Professional, safe, thorough and fun!

  Duck was so wonderful - full of knowledge and energy, and quick with a joke! When we mentioned what a treat fresh mangoes are he stopped at a roadside stand and bought us a bagful. An absolute professional - we felt safe and cared for at all times. We highly recommend.

• Book this ASAP.

  I don't know where to begin. This all-day adventure DELIVERED! Duck, our gem of a guide, is truly the crème de la crème. Right away he was inviting and welcoming and I knew we were in for a ton of fun. Duck is a wealth of knowledge, who has a love for his country and his job. Not to mention, his infectious smile was contagious. A couple of things to know - towels are provided and changing rooms are available. The zip lining was a 7 line course that was just incredible with off the chart views. Our 12 yr olds loved the water slide and went down a couple of times. We all greatly enjoyed the hot springs. The crowds weren't bad at all which was nice. I suggest packing sneakers and water sandals. Also, bug spray. Do not forget bug spray. You stop at a huge market on the way, buy snacks. The lunch is delicious, seriously one of our favorite meals. The cocktails at the hot springs were also delicious! I could go on and on but the point is BOOK THIS and my fingers are crossed you get Duck as your guide!  Have Fun!

  If I could give more then 5 stars I would. Zip linking was amazing, horseback riding fun, water slide was great you could choose your own speed which was perfect for our family with an 8, 12, and 18 year old, the food was great, and ending with a spa and med bath was the perfect touch. All the staff for each activity were amazing. Our horse back riding tour was great with taking our camera and riding around to get us different pictures at different angles. I loved how they took your pics throughout the experience and it wasnt too one of a price to get them. Duck our tour guide was absolutely amazing. He has so much information about the country, farming wild life and answered all our random questions you could tell he loved his job and made the end of our trip remmemeber able. I would 100 recommend this and do it again.

• Adrenaline, Nature, and Pure Fun: My Thrilling Adventure in Rincon de la Vieja, Costa Rica

  If you’ve ever dreamed of experiencing the ultimate Costa Rican adventure, Rincon de la Vieja is the place to be! From soaring through the treetops on zip lines to plunging down the longest water slide in the country, this adventure-packed paradise has it all. But wait, there’s more—how about a horseback ride through stunning landscapes, a mouthwatering buffet lunch, and a relaxing soak in natural thermal baths to cap off your day? Trust me, this was a Costa Rican getaway like no other! And none of it would’ve been as incredible without our amazing guide, Gabriel, who made sure our entire family of 16 had the best experience possible. Hold on tight because the adventure starts with a thrill-seeker’s dream—zip-lining through the lush rainforest of Rincon de la Vieja! The adrenaline was off the charts, and the views? Unbeatable. Our guide was right there every step of the way, making sure we felt safe and prepared while sharing fun facts about the incredible ecosystem we were flying through. His energy was contagious, making the experience even more unforgettable. Now, if you thought zip-lining was exciting, wait until you experience the longest water slide in the country! This slide wasn’t just any ordinary water slide—it was a heart-pounding, splash-inducing, wild ride. It felt like a rollercoaster, but better—because you’re sliding through tropical paradise! After the high-energy adventures, it was time to slow down and connect with nature on horseback. There’s something so peaceful yet exhilarating about riding through the lush landscapes of Rincon de la Vieja on horseback. I couldn’t help but marvel at the beauty around me. After all that action, I was famished! Thankfully, our adventure was paired with one of the most delicious buffet lunches I’ve ever had. 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. If you’re looking for the ultimate adventure in Costa Rica, this is it. 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!
