I wakeboarded once but every other time i wakeskated and loved it. We went there for two days and then came back a few days later for more hahaha. I progressed everyday at everything and the way the lake is, there is always calm water to shred and never any rough water so its guaranteed always perfect. I have been... More

Just wanted to say thanks again for everything!! Considering we weren't sure when exactly we would be arriving in your area or what we would be doing you were very accommodating and an amazing asset to us once we did! The tour on the lake in the boat and water sports made for a fantastic day (bring your suntan lotion!)... More

An old high school friend shows up on PACR’s Patio during Easter week with no expectation or accommodations and as always I was up for the challenge. Easter week is one of the busiest weeks in Costa Rica, especially La Fortuna, a favorite vacation destination for the locals as it offers a variety of exiting adventures for the whole family,...

A friend of mine back home recommended I contact Jonny for wakeboarding in Arenal. I wasn’t planning to do any wakeboarding so I almost didn’t contact him. After having so much trouble with the locals being unable to clearly explain what the trips come with, I called Jonny to see what he could help with. THANK GOD we contacted him!... More

Glad to be a service on your honeymoon vacation and grateful for your call.

Jonny and Sophia at PACR made our 5-days in La Fortuna the best Costa Rica adventure experience we could have ever hoped for. We learned of PACR through another traveler at a previous hostel in Tamarindo and thought we'd give it a shot. From the first night to the time we left, the level of hospitality was exceptional.
