  Jose' was our guide and he picked us up from our hotel. We stopped for beer and drinks about halfway through the trip. He also had water and juices for us. All activities were included. We thoroughly enjoyed all of it and highly recommend this tour. It is an all day tour and the drive is about 1.5-2 hours one way. We were unsure about the mud bath and hot springs when originally booking, but decided to try it anyways and it exceeded our expectations. Recommend doing the mud first, then the cold spring shower to rinse, and you'll be happy with the warm water by that point. Zip line tour is not for the faint of heart, and please be aware that once you start, you have to finish as there is no real way out of the canyon. We purchased the photo pack and highly recommend that. I think my personal favorite was the river tubing. It all was amazing, though. Again, Cannot recommend our guide, Jose', enough! Thanks so much!!! OH - and the lunch was very good, too!

  We used this company both for airport transportation to and from Liberia to Playa Grande as well as our excursion to Rincon de La Vieja. Very reasonable prices and exceptional customer service! Our tour guide Jose became our friend and accommodated all of our requests—even making extra stops so the kids could jump off waterfalls and get souvenirs. We loved Jose and hope to be back! If you are looking for a company to make your excursion the perfect experience, this is it!

  Wonderful trip. A lot of driving but our driver was wonderful. The horseback riding was okay. The tubing and zip lining were amazing!! Our adult children were with us and we all loved the day. Even the lunch, we did not have high expectations, was fantastic. The hot springs was a great way to end the day. One thing, each activity had different staff and we were not prepared to tip at the end of each one and the staff was extremely good. Particularly for the tubing and zip lining which were very intense activities. Also, you horse back ride and go right to tubing. I recommend not wearing a small swimsuit on the tubes. The tubing is down rapids. It is not a leisurely float down a tame river. The staff does have dry bags for use which we did not know. So you can bring money to tip

  Our driver, Jose, was friendly, informative and took good care of my daughter and I on this long, but fun-filled day of adventure. He told us that this was "our day" and he would shape the tour to refect our interests. Our favorite parts were the inner tubing in Class 1 and Class 2 rapids in the Rio Negra and zip-lining. The guides at the inner tubing activity were adept at herding the tubers and keeping us moving if we got caught up on a rock or stuck in an eddy. As far as ziplining, this was my 1st time and I loved it! You don't have to brake yourself because there is a system in place to slow you down. We zipped along a series of 9 different cables with an option to repel down the side of a cliff and climb back up on staple grips. You can also swing on a Tarzan rope and shout out your best Tarzan yell, followed by a traverse across a hanging bridge. By this time, we were ready for the delicious and authentic Costa Rican buffet style lunch. To end the day, we painted ourselves with volcanic mud, showered, then soaked in the geothermal pools of various temperatures from 96 deg F to 104 deg F. These waters have 7 different minerals which contribute to overall health and spirit. What a extraordinary day of activities we had!

  We had a fantastic all day adventure tour with Playa Grande Tours & Shuttles. Our driver, Jose, was so friendly, informative, and helpful! Picked us up right on time with a well-stocked cooler in a very comfortable shuttle, and guided us through a really fun day in Rincon de la Vieja. So much fun, wouldn’t hesitate to book more tours through them again & again. Highly recommended!!

  This was an amazing excursion! The zip lines were unique and unlike | have ever experienced! Some went through a narrow canyon! Our driver Jose was the best! He made our trip top notch. He was very professional and even stopped for us to get some breakfast since it was an early pickup. If you visit Costa Rica and opt for an excursion, ask for Jose! Pura Vida!

  Great day long adventure. The day will proceed as follows: 1. Horse back riding 2. Tubing in the rapids 3. Lunch 4. Zip lining the canopy 5. Hot springs and mud Some hints. You don't need your phone to capture images because they provide photographers for $45. If you deem it truly necessary, bring a waterproof case to carry your phone. Also, try carrying some extra cash with you to give tips into the tip box at the end of each portion. Fun, long day. But, well worth the day away from the beach.

  Our first day we went horseback riding, zip lining, tubbing and finished at the hot springs. It was so fun!! Our guide Jose was amazing. He was very friend and so nice! He got us beers, water and other snacks. The people in Costa Rica are so nice and they try their best to make you feel comfortable and safe. I recommend the tour and Jose 100%!

  Overall, my girls and I had a really fun time. It was our first time ever going horseback riding, river tubing, ziplining, and going to a hot spring. Horseback riding through the rainforest was a little scary due to the terrain being uneven. River tubing is for the thrill-seekers but forewarning you - it can be VERY DANGEROUS! Unfortunately, I had a near-death experience when the rapids flipped my tube over and I fell in. 8 ziplines and 1 Tarzan swing was a lot of fun. The hot springs is the best way to end a day full of adventure! The mud masks were amazing too.

  Great service from Ariel and Ronny. I accidentally booked from a hotel that wasn’t in the pick up area and we were able to work it out without issue. Ronny was our guide and was awesome. He helped our family feel completely at ease by starting with a side trip to grab some coffee/ hot cocoa. Then on our way to Rincon, we stopped to see white faced monkeys and toucans. The adventure at self was awesome. The horseback riding was super easy going which was a plus for me. The tubing probably wouldn’t be legal in the states. So much fun! And the zip lining was pretty tame till the end where you have to climb a canyon face over to a Tarzan swing. Thankfully there are staples but the kids were pretty freaked out by this. Soaking in the hot springs was a great way to end the day. Ronny was such a great guide for us. He was so easy going and very knowledgeable. I am grateful to have this experience as part of our trip to Costa Rica.
