Central Pacific 2026 Calendar of Events

This tour was a big hit with our family and the most memorable experience of our trip. Rudy and Orlando were truly remarkable guides! We had some great conversations with Rudy and couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He and Orlando made sure our daughters (9 and 11) had a great experience! We loved swimming at the waterfall, seeing sloths, and the Volcano hike. Rain is almost a guarantee in the rainforest, be sure to bring a poncho. We had disposable ponchos, I would bring reusable if I did it again because the disposable just stuck to our skin. No need for water shoes on this trip. Llanos de Cortes is a short walk from the parking lot and the waterfall area is all sand. Sandals work fine there.

I loved this experience SO much even as a first-timer! Would absolutely do it again in a heartbeat thx to the phenomenal guides!

This is a must do when here ! Was truly amazing and the guides were awesome! The lunch we got after was so good as well

I highly recommend this tour! We got to do horseback riding, river tubing, zip lining which included a rock climb and swing, had a lovely lunch and finished the day relaxing in the hot springs with the mud bath. The whole day was exciting and it was everything I hoped it would be. Everything went smoothly and Alberto was the best tour guide! He was so friendly and added so much fun to the experience. He even ran up and down the hill to get my other shoes from the van when I had to switch them for horseback riding. I was nervous about going solo but my tour group was lovely and we all became friends right off the bat. I would totally do this again and recommend it to anyone.

It was fun and very organized. I learned a lot about Costa Rica and would love to return to explore more.

The guides were so kind and accommodating!!

Look no further! I have nothing negative to report for this amazing experience! Professional, caring, knowledgeable! The lunch afterwards was phenomenal!!

Amazing day with Costa Rica Explorers. I have been out with them before. They never disappoint. The guides are top notch and always make sure that the day is a memerable experience. Safty and having fun are their top concerns. We had great lunch at a waterfall. I would recommend CR Explorer to anyone who wants a life time memorable experience. GO FOR IT!

The tour was great! We were able to see three out of six sloths and saw other animals as well. The waterfall was beautiful but you could not get close to it. 10/10 recommend this tour.

My cousin and I had a great time with John! We did the 6am surf lesson time and enjoyed the calm morning. John was was super fun to not only get taught by but just chat with and enjoy our time. You the man John!!Nadine's pictures and drone footage are top tier! We bought the full package of media and it was worth the price! So cool to get to capture the moment. Thanks Nadine!

This was a very informative tour with Jungle Tours Manuel Antonio the guide Jaun was very knowledgeable regarding the whole process of the chocolate and coffee making process and got you involved, the tasting of the products was enjoyable

This tour was such a gem! Sergio, our guide was very knowledgeable but he was also engaging and entertaining. We got to make some chocolate concoctions, drink some coffe and gain some great. Knowledgeable of both the history and process for both. The walk through the plantation and the information that came from that was super interesting and beautiful. We normally only chose to do the active tours and we took this tour as a recommendation and would absolutely do it again!

We had a blast with Amigos Del Rio Rafting Tours! Juan Carlos and Jason were awesome guides and very knowledgeable about the river! We stopped in a small village and got some delicious food prior to hitting the water! Juan Carlos was a great leader and did well with providing instructions during his safety briefing. Once we hit the water there was nonstop fun and beautiful scenery. The rapids were constant, fun, and at points challenging. The break along the river to check out the waterfall was nice, with excellent snacks! Then after rafting the lunch that was provided was amazing! We truly had a wonderful time on this trip!

My husband and I had the most amazing experience from start to finish. I was pretty nervous going in to surfing as it was my first time, but the instructors made us feel super comfortable right away. They had us up on the surfboard riding a wave within the first 10 minutes in the water. It was SO much fun. Our instructors were kind, funny, super patient, and incredibly helpful with corrections and cues in the water. We spent time in the complimentary beach chairs after enjoying the lesson, then headed to the restaurant for included casado lunch which was absolutely delicious. Could not recommend these guys enough. What a wonderful experience.

This was such an incredible experience! Our photographer Jonathan and our guide Nico were true professionals and we had the BEST time! It was somehow super safe and exhilarating at the same time! Even the lunch afterward was so much more than I expected! I would do this trip again and again.
