5.00What an amazing day! This is our first time in Costa Rica and we wanted to make sure that we did at least one excursion. We selected the Relax & Rejuvenate: Waterfalls and Hot Springs at Rincon Volcano excursion so that we could see a couple of different things. Well, we made a great choice!!! Memo was our guide and he picked us up right at 7:20am at the Ritz Carlton. During the drive to the waterfalls, he shared so much amazing information about our day, his country and all kinds of other facts. We already felt like we had known him for years. Needless to say, the waterfalls were breathtaking (both view and temperature :-). After that, we had a 10-minute drive over to the hot springs where Memo explained the hot springs process and let us know that there was also a mud bath there. The springs were so relaxing, and the mid bath was actually kinda fun! We finished the excursion with a lunch full of local cuisine. We are not buffet people, but the lunch was outstanding. The fruits and salads were so fresh and the chicken and pork was incredible. One tip.....don't eat too much of the pork so that you don't have room for the Arroz con Leche. It looks like I made a rookie mistake. We continued the conversation with Memo on the way back to the hotel and couldn't believe that our excursion was over. I highly recommend this trip and thought that the whole Costour team did a great job with communicating and executing. I would totally go back again!!!!!

5.00Alberto picked us up at our hotel right on time and even though we were just two, he said we were still going. The van is nice, clean, and comfortable. Alberto gave lots of interesting facts on the way to Rincon. The hot springs and mud are great. Perfect temp and just beautiful. We then walked across the road to see a series of small waterfalls before heading to the big waterfall. It was gorgeous but wow the water was cold. Lunch at the open pavilion restaurant was tasty and plentiful. Several other groups stopped there as well. We travel often and Alberto and Cos Tours were TOP NOTCH, so good in fact, we decided to take another tour the next day! Highly recommend!

5.00Discover threesome tour with our excellent guide and driver Alberto who speaks very good French. Great day! We saw the fumes and even 2 kinds of monkeys during our first game. Swimming very refreshing at Oro pendulum Falls. Dinner. Then a swim at the hot springs. Small catch! Do not wear a jersey with white if you are coating mud. It's still stained, but it was up to me. In short perfect day and well balanced.

5.00We just did the zip line and it was great. The staff was very patient, professional and hardworking. The setting where you start the zip line is beautiful with great views, a perfect place for friends and family who are not zipping to hang out. The zip line was an amazing experience, highly recommended.
Perfect rain forest experience!

5.00It was an amazing, personalized experience! Kevin had great communication through the app leading up to our event. Our tour guide, “Mamo”, was our personal driver and he took very good care of us. Picked my daughter and me up from our location in the Costours van, talked with us about notable sights and life in Guanacaste. He carefully guided us through the trails down into the waterfall and then through the hike to get to the hot springs and mud bath. The buffet lunch in the main hacienda hotel was good. The changing and bathroom areas were clean and comfortable. Mamo made a stop for us to shop for souvenirs on the way back to our friends home. It was a perfectly curated experience!
