Everything from beginning to end was perfect!!! Trips were once in a lifetime experiences and we had an awesome driver, Ronald, that was so sweet and took the time to make sure we were enjoying our trip, including stopping on the side of the road so we could see toucans and a sloth!!!
This tour was a ton of fun! I went with a group of 6 girlfriends. The shuttle picked us up right outside our Airbnb in Tamarindo and took about 2 hours. We did zipling, jungle slide, hanging bridges where we saw monkeys, horseback riding, mud bath and hot springs! What made the experience truely memorable was our tour guide Alex. He was extremely friendly, fun and knowledgeable about Costa Rican culture and wildlife. Highly recommend!
