About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Dar58734740 contributionsJust Ok - Didn't Deliver as ExpectedWe've been to Costa Rica twice and done many different excursions. If you want to squeeze a lot of activities into one day, then this adventure is a cost effective way to do that. I asked a lot of questions ahead of time via email, and the company was quick and responsive to all my questions. They communicated that they prided themselves on small groups and personal attention. However, once we got closer to the excursion date, the delivery was not quite up to our expectations. 1. Our family of 4 started with another family of 4 for a total of 8 people which was fine. While the guides were fine, they did not do a great job of explaining procedures and both families asked a lot of clarification questions. This was especially the case with the ATV guide. Compared to other excursions, English for this group of guides was not particularly strong. 2. We started with an hour of horseback riding which was fine. But it was hot and muggy after that hour and we weren't offered any water until later in the afternoon. 3. Lunch was disappointing. First we gave our lunch orders twice, first via text the day before the excursion and again at check-in. Somehow they got our orders wrong, but we went with it anyway. This is a 6-7 hour day and the protein portions (fish or chicken) were ridiculously tiny (especially compared to meals that we received in other excursions). 4. The text we received the day before stated that the guides would have dry bags for phones, etc. They did not. We were offered to put our valuables in rental "lockers" that only half locked (top locked, but bottom of door did not and you could put your hand in and pull things out if you really wanted to). The ranch is pretty isolated so I don't think theft is an issue, but it didn't leave a great impression. 5. My biggest issue with the excursion was the afternoon, when our group of 8 was combined with another large family for a total of 17 people for waterfall rappelling. Because the group was so large, they ran two ropes down the waterfall at the same time. This seemed especially dangerous when you had folks going down at very different speeds and many were unsteady so knocking into another person was a definite possibility. There were two many people rappelling at the a time for the guides to be keeping a proper eye on everyone. 6. On the website, the 5 in 1 adventure states that horseback riding, ATV, waterfall rappelling, zip line and bird watching are included. There is no separate bird watching activity. Yes, we saw some birds on the other activities, but we didn't get much explanation on any of the birds or animals that we saw like I would expect a guide to communicate. In trying to be fair, other positives from the day were that the ATV guide stopped and used our cameras to take video of folks driving the ATVs, and the zipline is designed with an automated breaking system so the rider does not have to worry about breaking. In summary, the day went ok, but there are things that need to be improved and I would not book with this company again because I don't think the safety is where it should be.Written 4 January 2025
- kristinbO6475EB0 contributionsAmazing experienceWe did the zip lining, atv tour and waterfall rappelling. We had ages from 14 to 61 and various levels of skill and fitness. Everyone had a great time and all the guides were extremely helpful and supportive. The fruit after every event was delicious! Definitely bring a bathing suit for the waterfall rappelling.Written 31 December 2024
- aleciab7500 contributionsFantastic adventure in Costa Rica!We had the best day and our tour guides we super awesome! I highly recommend this adventure in Costa Rica. Definitely worth the cost. The 6 zip lines thru the rainforest were amazing and repelling thru the water fall was a great challenge. Totally incredible day!!Written 27 December 2024
- bonnieo7840 contributionsWaste of money.Not worth the money. Horses unkept, my horse had only one shoe on and stumbled constantly. Nice guide but the entire property needs updating, and the falls area was not impressive. No “Magical Rain Forest” here.Written 14 December 2024
- kolarma100 contributionsFavorite adventure day!This was my favorite day of our whole week in Costa Rica. I still cannot believe how much we were able to do for such a reasonable package price plus hotel pick up and a delicious local lunch. If you stay in the Jaco area I cannot recommend this day activity enough! Also the guys are wonderful - they took care of us and made this day unforgettable.Written 7 December 2024
- M2353RBrichardb0 contributionsAwesome ATV tourMy wife and I booked a 2 hr ATV tour and we had the best time. We initially stop by Ocean Park Ranch after going on a mother tour to get some information. We spoke with Carlos and David who were extremely helpful and very courteous. The next day we booked our ATV tour online with the help of David who was on the phone with us via WhatsAppWhen we arrived we were promptly greeted and welcomed. Our ATV guide, Christian, was also super friendly, answered all our questions, and spoke English very well. With Christian as our guide, we drive through creeks and small rivers to a beautiful waterfall where we stopped and cooled off Christian was great to take many pictures. This was an awesome and we highly recommend!!Written 6 December 2024
- nancynurseUtah0 contributionsLuis, Elena, Jackson best when working with horses.Luis ,Elena, and Jackson were so helpful for helping us Get acquainted with horses before our trip. My husband and I have not been on horses much maybe once or twice in our whole life! Our grandkids loved this event the most. Since she is good at riding horses he let our 12 year old grand daughter race to the stables at the end of the ride. She smiled all night, Those 3 staff went above and beyond with our horse ride. I highly recommend them when you book with this companyWritten 21 November 2024
- miakO7396UC0 contributionsSo much fun!We did the full tour and had an amazing time. The property was beautiful and the guides were awesome, definitely book it!Written 26 October 2024
- hannahsM6021CL0 contributionsBest value for your dayAmazing fun filled day! The guides were all very helpful and kind and we will recommend this to to everyone! There was even a family with kids ages 7-9 that were able to compete all the activities too! Side note - the ATV group is separate from the Ocean Park Ranch group (horse ride, repelling, and zip line). They are an outside group that comes in to the farm for the ATV tour only. Be sure to tip them separately. Costa Rica prides themselves in their great service so always be sure to tip at least 10% if not 20%.Written 20 October 2024
- A7547YNtinaf0 contributionsGreat time ATV, Water Fall Rappelling, Zip LiningGreat memories were made with my adult daughters at Oceans Ranch. We first got dirty and wet ATVing. Quite fun! The best part was Waterfall Rappelling. It was exhilarating for all of us. Definitely took me longer than my daughters to get done. Finally the 7 zip lines with the last one being 1/2 mile long. The entire day was a blast.Written 27 September 2024
- SandraS137730 contributionsAdventure filled day. Tour guides know what they are doing.My family of five had the adventure of a lifetime. The three tour guides were truly amazing, despite looking young….they knew what they were doing and reassured me and made me feel safe. Please remember to tip them as well as the separate atv guys. You know it’s a great time when the GoPro breaks! We rappelled down a beautiful waterfall, zip lined through the jungle, drove atvs through horse fields, mud puddles, and rivers! Bring your waterproof bag and neck gaiter. There is an amazing hunting dog, Punky. He waits eagerly to start the tour with you, he will hunt racoons, lizards and everything in between….and he likes the lunch chicken that’s provided…please share with him :). Overall, my teens and guys loved the day and will be talking about it for a while. I still can’t believe I did the things I did!Written 26 September 2024

We chose the three options of the title…ATV could also be added if wanted. We had a great experience from beginning to end. The staff was courteous, knowledgeable and truly loved their jobs! We took a short ride up the hill to first rappel down the 180ft waterfall. Drier time of season so the falls weren’t rushing in your face as you descended down two levels to the bottom. Guides were patient and helped us laugh through our initial fears.
We then zip lined on a few lines and then ascended up a steep hike to the tallest & longest lines. The views were well worth the incline to get there. We even got to taste heart of palm right from a stalk off the plant! A short break with a bottle of water and we rode back down to the bottom of the ranch.
Light refreshments offered meant the bottle of water. Order the meals offered upon arrival provided by a nearby local restaurant for an added fee. They were delicious and otherwise you are sitting there watching people eat until the next portion of the trip.
Then it was time for the horseback riding. Well maintained horses and the trail through the hills was gorgeous.
Our friend was sick the day we planned our excursion and staff allowed her and her husband to come back and provided a private 2 hour horseback ride to the waterfall for them on another day. Staff went above and beyond to accommodate us.
Thank you to Jesus and entire staff and Lazy the dog!
One of the many highlights of our trip!

The overall experience, the location, activities and the guides were all wonderful and very kid friendly. We are a family of 4 with 2 preteens. It’s especially worth mentioning the guides. All of them were super nice and professional. They took time to explain and demonstrate instructions, made us feel welcome, gave their 100% attention to keep us safe and entertained, and made the whole experience really fun. The guides interacted really well with the kids and made them feel completely at ease. Also, the horses were do well behaved.
The tour is pricy even for CR so wish they included food and refreshments without extra charge.

I booked this adventure as a birthday gift to my fiance and it was PERFECT! Everyone on the staff: from Ronaldo who picked us up and dropped us at our hotel, to Jesus who guided us on our hour-long tour of the park on horseback, to Arnold and Ivan who guided us for rappelling and ziplining. All were fun, professional, and informative. They pointed out various wildlife in the park, gave clear instruction for us first-timers, and made our experience so memorable. We can't wait until they get the taller waterfall up and going for rappelling so we can take it on!

This place is top notch. The guides were amazing! The Ranch is gorgeous and well maintained. The horses all very well kept.
We started out horseback riding and then we water repelled down a waterfall .. such a fun experience. We then zip lined through the ranch. Every activity was fantastic. What makes this tour stand out was definitely the ranch and the guides!! They even have a dog named Lassie who follows from behind from start to finish.
We finished with a fresh hot lunch.
They picked us off and dropped us off from Los Suenos.
My son left his iPhone in car and when I called they said don’t worry we will locate and get your phone back. 10 minutes later my son had his phone. I would definitely recommend this excursion!

Absolutely an incredible time! We spent 2 days doing various activities including ATV, ziplining, horseback and waterfall repelling. The staff were knowledgeable and very fun. They also were very supportive of our sometime nervous 7 year old daughter. They encouraged her and helped her feel comfortable with every experience. The adventures were top notch! We would highly recommend.

We did the nature bundle. We arrived and took a truck with other groups of people in the back to do rappelling first. It was a 180ft waterfall. They do a demonstration of how to do the activities before you get up there. We look a little hike to the top and they help you through the whole thing so it isn’t stressful. You rappel halfway and then change to the second rope and then go to rest of the way. Then we took the truck back to the ranch and got on the horses. They are all well trained to stay in a like and Daniel, our guide, let us run a little with the horses if we wanted to. We rose through the trees and the stream. Then the other groups had lunch, we opted not to, but they said it was really good, they had a few different options. We then waited a little longer than we would’ve liked to do zip lining, about an hour. To get to the zip line you have to hike for about 10 minutes, it’s pretty steal but definitely worth it. Views of the forest are amazing and saw a lot of birds. All and all definitely worth it for the price. The tour guides were amazing and very friendly and funny. Other than the wait between activities it was great. A lot longer than other people seemed to experience but each group was doing all different activities, 7 hours we were there and were expecting about 4.

We had a fantastic time at the Park at Ocean Ranch. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. It was a great adventure for our 5 and 3 year old kids. Lomar, Arnold and team were great as we took a horseback ride through the jungle, across streams and observed nature. From there, we arrived to the zip line area and had an incredible time flying over the canopy. We felt safe, secure and well taken care of. Our 5 year old continuously repeated, "Best day ever" and it definitely was.
Thank you!
