Activities were super fun and generally well organized. Great way to see a beautiful canyon and river. Minor word of caution that the horses seemed a little skittish for trail horses.

The volcano tour is a gravel trail and many steps in a loop around the steam vents. You do not go high up the volcano. Also, it is not a lava volcano, but steam. We heard animals, but did not see them. If you use a tour guide, you are on a strict schedule at the stops. We did not get to stop for souvenirs, as described, due to traffic and the guides wanting to get home. The hot springs are amazing and I recommend driving yourself to allow time to enjoy. The waterfall is cold and refreshing.

Amazingly fun. The tubing is by far the best. Lots of help from the guides if you get stuck too. The horseback ride was much better than other ones I have taken. You take an interesting route through the jungle.

Kevin Pina was awesome! Extremely knowledgeable of the plant and animal life in the area and brings a great energy to the whole excursion. Highly recommend taking this trip if you have the time. Lots of great features to help feel fully immersed in the deep beauties of Guanacaste beyond the coastline

Fun day of hiking, lunch, waterfall swim, and relaxing in the natural hot springs for our multi generational family of 6! Our guide was great informing us about the area and answering questions. It was a very hot day which made the 2 mile moderate hike with many steps more challenging for those of us 70ish even though we’re active. The waterfall is beautiful, the water temp is cold which they tell you. I went in to my knees which was refreshing. Lunch was great! And the hot springs felt so good after an active day! We’re glad we went and would definitely recommend doing it! Linda Martin March 2025

We absolutely loved the zip line, water tubing, and hot springs portions of this excursion. These were incredible!! Lunch was great too! The downsides to this excursion: we never did get to see the volcano and the horseback riding was along a very dusty rocky trail. Throughout the entire excursion, all of the staff were absolutely amazing!!

Great tour, lunch is great at a local resturaunt with fresh food. dedicated tour guides to give you the best information and take time to spot things out in the rainforest , will help go above and beyond for great pictures as well. Worth the hike for the views and animals. Cacao and coffee tour very authentic and fresh. Marquise and Cano great guides to have.

Our tour guide Diego and driver Michael were wonderful. They went out of their way to make our day educational and enjoyable. We enjoyed our first stop at llanos de Cortes waterfall where they had changing rooms and we were able to enjoy the refreshing waterfall. We then had an hour tour at the Sloth sanctuary. The sanctuary guide had a telescope so that we could get a better view of several sloths sleeping in the high trees and even took photos for us. We also saw a poison dart frog, a tucan, the famous red eye tree frog and an hourglass tree frog. Then on to Rio Celeste. Diego pointed out a viper snake and a vine snake as well as howler monkeys on our hike. The waterfall was well worth the moderate hike. We ended with a delicious buffet. A long day but we felt it was well worth it.

Wonderful experience with friendly crew and fun environment. Snorkeling, open bar, delicious light meal, great music and beautiful sunset! Will make this a must do excursion for every visit to Tamarindo.

Natives way has NEVER let me down. Every single tour I've taken with them has been amazing! Solid team, the tour guides are knowledgeable, professional and above all else, FUN!!

Highly recommended for a full day of different adventures. We used Shaman Tours (Garçon was our guide) for transport from Playa Hermosa and it made a lot of difference. Horseback riding is not my favorite thing but it was nice and leisurely. The horses are well trained and well behaved. No issues with my youngest riding alone. Lasted about an 30-45 min. Next we did river rafting in inner tubes. Super fun. Low rated rapids with cold but refreshing water in the heat. Kids had a great time. Shallow enough to stand and occasionally feel bumps on your butt. Lasted about 1-1.5 hours. Next was the zipline tour. I’m not a big fan of heights but thought I should do it because, well, we are in Costa Rica. Scary but awesome. Did tandem with my youngest who HATES rollercoasters until he was comfortable with going himself. My guide was able to snag me a helmet with a GoPro attachment. Absolutely the coolest thing lining through the river canyon. Lunch was typical Costa Rican buffet style but absolutely delicious and filling. Lastly was the mud baths. Because it was already so hot, our guide was able to arrange for access to this beautiful waterfall instead. We swam in cool refreshing water at the end of the day. Highly recommend this place. Would also recommend using Shaman Tours (shout out to Garçon), especially if you need transportation from the hotel.

We had a great time , the staff was friendly, informative and fun ..I would highly recommend! This is our third excursion

The tour was one of the greatest experiences and it wouldn’t be possible without our tour guides who were flawless. Thanks a lot to David and Jorge, from the pick up/drop off to the drive and also them taking time to explain the Costa Rican culture and food, it was just perfect. Other than that all the activities surpassed expectations and everyone had immense fun even the kids. Would definitely recommend this tour to others and even the amazing tour guides (David & Jorge)!

I did the Rio Celeste tour and tubing downriver with our guide Manfred. It was an awesome experience. The weather was great and the views were majestic. Our guide was very patient and not at all pushy with the additionals. Our tour guide was young but knowledgeable and respectful. I can see him going places in Costa Rica's tourism industry.

Our tour guide and driver were the absolute best. All in all this tour was one of the greatest experiences one could ask for. The pick up was flawless, the drive incredible, the lunch perfect. The experience--priceless. An epic adventure. Just a couple things I must let others considering this know about: IT IS VERY TIRING and not for those that are not in shape. The river ride is intense. It is not as simple as sitting in a tube. It can get very intense at times so don't expect to just be on a lazy river. Once it's done you need to carry your tube up a huge hill and if this is the last activity of the day you'll be VERY tired. The ZIP LINING is also intense at times. It is not just clip and go. In the heat it can be pretty intense and the time between different lines is pretty short so you are moving rapidly. Besides that...you will not get a better experience anywhere. Well worth every penny. Superb.
