warm water, great service and lots of waves - Pura Vida
My son really enjoyed his surf lesson with his instructor John. John did a good job orienting my son and was very attentive throughout and got him on a ton of waves. Everyone I interacted with was great, including Nadine, the photographer and I found the photo package to be a very good deal as well. Would definitely come back.JW

Awesome trip through the rapids!
Nicolas and Jonathan gave us a very entertaining and exciting trip down the river. They were both funny and knowledgeable. The river allowed us some good rapids with wildlife along the banks. Including a local breakfast and lunch was a nice plus.

Great way to spend a couple hours in Los Suenos!
We had a wonderful time with the zip line tour. The staff were friendly and made it more fun. There were 10 lines and we didn’t feel rushed. The location was beautiful and the staff were very focused on the safety of all guests. After we finished, they provided a delicious fresh fruit snack. We also took advantage of their pick up/ drop off at our hotel and they were on time and the bus was nicely air conditioned and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Amazing trip!
Awesome afternoon / sunset cruise! Can’t say enough about the hospitality, service and communication of the crew. BBQ lunch at the private beach was delicious and we enjoyed swimming and banana boat ride. Catamaran was comfortable and well maintained. Exceeded our expectations!

Magical experience
We had such an amazing experience! None of us have ridden a horse before, but all the horses seemed happy to have us. We walked down the beach at sunset and it was just magical. The guide was very friendly and clear with her instructions. She cared deeply for all the horses. She also took beautiful photos of us riding!

Fun time for beginners
Great time for inexperienced surfers. Our instructor, John, was wonderful. Very informative, friendly, and knows his stuff about the waves. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Nadine the photographer was also lovely and got some fantastic shots of us.
