The tour guide was a little rude and I didnt feel comfortable asking him questions. We rode in a very little boat and went looking for crocodiles before going zip lining. boring The ride was about an hour, I just wanted to arrive at the zip lining location. We arrived and got 2 guides who did not speak English which is important because we didnt speak Spanish. You can only imagine the confusion that went on during this tour. We had fun, but it was a real work out. The buffet lunch was just ok and I felt _br/_ Iike they were watching us as we fixed our plates. We ate and that was pretty much the end of the tour.

the cruise and the zipline was great . I had a really good time and the tour guide was very knowledgeable . I got to experience wild life in their natural habitats live and not just see it on tv.

good experience
Review by: Arnold L, April 2017
River sightseeing cruise was a old flat motor boat. There was very little to see. There was a long walk to the zip lining and it was an old road and fields that were quite muddy. The ride to the cruise was quite long. Waling back to the lunch area was very wet and muddy. Would be quite a chore if it was the rainy season. The tour guide did not seem very interested in us during the ride to the cruise area. Not the best tour that I have been on.

This was an absolutely amazing experience! This was my first time ziplining and everything was extremely well organized. More importantly, I felt extremely safe even though we were hundreds of feet in the air. What was also nice about this was that if you do get tired, you can actually stop at a certain point since this does involve climbing a few ladders.

Initially I booked this tour but was told the day before it would not be available. i was then told I could book the 6 in 1 tour for the same price after some back and forward over email and the phone the night before. There was some miscommunication because the tour operator was not on the same page as Viator apparently because I ended up having to pay more after we had taken a long bus ride to the rain forest. That was a bit of an annoyance but it worked out and I put that on Viator and not the tour. I would be more careful with that.

I am a woman and I was traveling alone, I was being picked up by a man with a regular car. He said I would meet the rest of tourists 1 hr away from that location. Pls email me this ahead time, or let the person id himself, so it does not look shady. Jorge was rushing us through the tour.

Not an adventure for someone with mobility issues. Tough climb on ladders on zip line, but rewarded with some speedy zips. It and #39;s a different type of excursion I enjoyed greatly. If you done the other excursions, this is one to put on your list.

Well organized tour
Review by: Andrea W, October 2015
This was a great tour - the biggest downside was the long bus trip to and from the boat/zip lining. We stayed at a downtown hotel, and the ride was nearly 2 hours. But the boat trip and zip lining were great fun, with knowledgeable guides. They were also extremely helpful with my senior citizen parents who needed extra care with stairs and walking, etc. The only other small criticism would be that it would've been nice to have a bit more explanation about the equipment and its capabilities/protections, but the guides were very capable. Overall, this was a very good excursion.

Great tour, but Viator sold this trip on to a local tour operator who messed up my pick up times for this trip and the Manuel Antonio National Park Trip. For this trip, they turned up over an hour late even though I had confirmed the pick up time twice with them just days before. Also, the guide didn't say much on the way to Sarapiqui, which is a shame as we were a group of 6 and he could have made it a nice personal trip. He actually slept most of the way! When we reached Sarapiqui, he seemed to be wide awake and was helpful in showning us the few animals we spotted during the river cruise. The cruise itself was really relaxing and as I had already been on other tours and seen lots of animals, I didn't mind that we didn't see a lot during this trip. The zipline tour was... well, words fail me I was petrified during the entire tour and screamed my head off, but at the end I was glad I did it. I would have been awfully disappointed in myself if I had turned back and not done it. Lunch wasn't enough and the person behind the scanty buffet didn't seem to want to give anyone more than 2 strips of chicken. As I didn't like any of the other salads they provided, I asked for more chicken which they grudgingly cooked for me. All in all, I enjoyed the experience, but this is certainly not the best tour I did with Viator.

The tour was such a great experience! Jorge was really friendly, fun and knowledgeable, making the long drive to the location feel much shorter than it was. Zip-lining was so much fun, one of the instructors took photos for us throughout and we paid 20 for a CD with the photos on - much better than us trying to take photos and potentially dropping the camera in the middle of the rainforest. When we got back the food was already prepared for us and was really lovely, traditional Costa Rican food. Jorge also showed us around the family's greenhouses which housed plants, snakes and frogs. The only slight cricitism though more with the operator's description of the tour than the tour itself: the horse-riding was not actually included and is not something they normally do for this tour, however the family kindly saddled up two of their horses for us anyway. All in all, definitely worth the money and would certainly do it again.

This was a blast! It was a 2.5 hour car ride from San Jose, and our guide actually drove his own SUV instead of a bus since the tour bus was being inspected. He was very punctual, pointed out a lot of different things during our drive, and stopped at a market so we could try different local fruits. The river cruise was nice, but the best part was ziplining. At one point you could hear monkeys in the tree we were about to zipline to! They were sitting on branches just 20 feet from us! Overall the tour felt a bit rushed, but that was mostly because our guide was afraid we would get stuck in the impending storm.

Tour was great.
Review by: Dhiren S, May 2015
The tour was great...I can give them 4 to 4.5 stars. First day tour/guide/food was great. Bus was not up to par, broke down and exchange new bus. Second trip was also good, but Pick up was about 30 minutes late. Guide was good, can be improved. Boat driver and Zipline ride leader was great.
