- 227keria0 contributionsExcellent private tour.Excellent private tour. Viewed many waterfalls with Carlos as our tour guide. Hot springs and lunch were excellent. Highly recommend.Written 17 December 2024
- Julie P0 contributionsGreat experienceAwesome experience. Would highly recommend going on this excursion. Got to see so many beautiful waterfalls and amazing sites. Our tour guide, Andres was the perfect guide!! He knew all the best places to see and gave us a lot of insight to what we were looking at.Written 10 December 2024
- darrenandkay450 contributionsAwesome full day outFor our last day in Costa Rica we decided to have a full day out to see the Miravalles Volcano and springs as well as tour the waterfalls (with an additional stop to see the Llanos del Cortez waterfalls on the way). A well organised tour with decent lunch and mix of sightseeing and spa activities at the volcano itself. Our 6 year old enjoyed the day especially the short hike to the Miravalles waterfalls. Andreas was our guide and looked after us for the day. Would definitely recommend this activity.Written 13 August 2024
- AlisonV8150 contributionsFun filled dayMy daughters in their 20s went on this rather than me, so writing it from their point of view. We booked through Tui. They had a fabulous day, the guide was very helpful and considerate. They were asked in advance if they minded falling out of the raft. Another lady on their shuttle bus was on crutches so she was put in to another boat so they could be treated differently. They had a fun-filled adrenaline packed day and said the scenery was lovely. Photos were taken by the guides which were expensive but purchases as no other ways of getting them.Written 16 May 2024
- Bmett20 contributionsAmazing trip with amazing guideThis was one of our favorite excursions we did all week. We went on 5 different day trips. We had already been to the waterfalls on a separate excursion so since we were the only ones on the trip we were able to skip it. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we had a great time talking to him about just costa rica in general on our drive. The suspended bridges were amazing and the mud bath/hotspring/volcano was great. I couldn't recommend this trip enoughWritten 17 April 2024
- _legalmk0 contributionsFantastic Family TripThe views were gorgeous, the lunch was delicious, and our guide was the best! He told us everything we wanted to know about Costa Rica. Definitely a must do!Written 14 July 2023

We spent a lot of time on the water and the lunch was fantastic. Definitely recommend! Just bring bug spray!Written 19 June 2023
- cynthiahK3528RP0 contributionsBest fishing charter we have been onThis was the best fishing charter we have been on as a family! It was less expensive than the ones in the states. These young men knew everything about fishing in the area. Be advised this is a fishing not a "party" boat. No beer was provided. The bathroom was "rustic" Plenty of soda, water, and fresh fruit was provided. I even tried some Costa Rican chips made from Planta. My son caught his biggest fish ever within minutes of putting his line in. It was a 20 lb. Tuna. The gentlemen were friendly and even washed our saddles for us when got on board. You will be taking a much smaller boat out to their 28 foot boat. Also, I loved the shaded canopy they had over cushioned seats for me relax and get out of the sun. If you are looking to get a big one I recommend the full day, Also, if you do not speak any Spanish, don't worry, the captain spoke great English.Written 6 June 2023
- madelineb7020 contributionsFun Excursions with Great Staff!We had a great experience all around with Pininos Adventures. All of the people who worked with us on the excursions were very friendly and super patient and helpful. The food was also amazing, it was great to taste some authentic Costa Rican food! Definitely recommend getting the photo package because it is super cheap considering all the photos you get and they are great quality. (I have attached some of the photos we got taken) Overall we were very pleased with the experience and definitely recommend it to anyone!Written 19 May 2023
- 653rhettm0 contributionsAwesome day on the waterThis is a great excursion. Jason was an amazing guide and so fun to spend the day with. The entire experience was well worth the money spent. We will definitely be back to do it again.Written 9 March 2023
- bettyeh20230 contributionsMiravalles : a great experience!Waterfalls were astounding & our guide, Raynor was very knowledgeable about the area both at the volcano & the drive there. He was patient & kind & made sure we had a fun & safe adventure. We happened to be there on a very windy day & definitely could have used our rain jackets which we had left behind. Also a pair of sandals for walking around the mud bath/sauna/hot springs area would have been nice. I thought we had to carry everything in our backpacks the whole time, so was trying to minimize the load, but it was easy to retrieve things from the van at different points. overall it was a great experience with a great guide!Written 23 February 2023

- chocolateave0 contributionsMiravalles - Go!We were traveling with another couple and had decided to book an adventure the four of us could participate in together. The Miravalles tour fit the bill. Carlos was a personable guide, generous with his knowledge and funny as well. Our group did consist of one person who is afraid of heights, so the rope bridge was challenging, but we all made it across, and back! As it turned out, we had the locations pretty much to ourselves the morning we were there, which was great, and the weather held out until we had finished our activities and then the skies opened up. We would highly recommend both the tour (some endurance and cardio is helpful) and Carlos!Written 22 August 2022
- korkle3210 contributionsGreat family experience!We had a wonderful experience! Our guides, Mario, Luiz and Fernando were fantastic. They took very good care of us (including grandma - thanks Luiz!) making sure we had a good time and that we were safe. The rapids were nice since it rained earlier. The views were spectacular. Rafting the Tenorio river is highly recommended. This is the second time we used this company. We used them in June 2018 and Fernando was also our guide back then. It's good see you again Fernando. Mario, you are crazy (in a good way). We had a blast, thanks!Written 25 July 2022

4 of us set out from Secrets resort to Canyon River. Carlos was our driver. About an hour to the place. We saddled up. We thought we could ride the horses and the change to swimsuits for the river. WRONG. We rode the horses to the river for our “put in”. The horse ride was ok. I was put on mule. I’m sure they had their reasons. That was a little disappointing but the river tubing certainly made up for it. It was so much fun. Our guides were great in pushing us through the few slow spots. There weren’t many. Most of it were rapids and waterfalls negotiated through smooth worn boulders.
Spinning and laughing down theColorado river in Costa Rica on a hot and cloudy day was the way to spend the morning. We all loved it. Then we were surprised with the warm water soak. It felt good after a few butt bumps along the river ride. Lastly, the prepared lunch was extremely good. The fish was outstanding. We ate while listening to the gentle rain hit the metal roof. Carlos returned us to Secrets safe and sound. Photos arrived in email same day to memorialize our great trip. We highly recommend this tour. Pura Vida. (Zip lining was also available. It looked fun but we choose not to partake. The lines went back and worth over the river and would be a treat for those who want to add it to the excursion)

If you’re ready to try it all in one stop, stop looking and booking this tour. Our guide was extremely friendly and took us shopping for souvenirs after. All in all great day! If water is low wear a rash guard as you will be paddling during tubing and getting a rash if not.

Great experience. Zip lining was great, even with a reluctant 6 year old. Horse ride was a little longer than expected. End of dry season so water levels were low and tubes frequently got stuck. Probably better when water levels are higher. Overall a wonderful experience. Everyone had a great time.

Very professional operation with timely pickup/drop off. Never felt rushed. Easy transition from one activity to the next. All of the activities were nearby each other within the reserve, so didn’t need to get in the van in between. Also plenty of opportunities to change clothes if that’s your preference. The facility provided towels to use and the bathrooms were all very clean. Great overall experience

As my son put it "this has been the best day of my life" so far.
We all really enjoyed it and thought it was a good value for the money. Carlos was a great driver and tour guide and the people that helped with each activity kept us safe and made sure we had fun. Lunch was excellent. The hardest thing is deciding which activity we liked best.

I can not describe how amazing this tour was. We started off by zip lining across the river. It was organized and I never felt like we were waiting around long for the people in front of us or behind. Next we repelled and rock climbed. A must try if you're capable. Its harder than it looks. Then we took a horse ride to the start of the tubing. Hands down the tubing was the best thing any of us had ever done. It was beautiful and the guides were great. After all the excitement we got to relax in the hot springs. We were all exhausted, but well worth it. I would HIGHLY recommend using this company for this tour.

Drivers were great and very informative. Zippiness were cool and well-maintained. Felt safe. Plenty of staff. Horseback riding was a a bit rough with HARD saddles, but good crew. My horse "Tequila" was more of a frozen margarita, but did fine. Tubing was great! Unfortunately, etc river was low so a bit rough on the backside - CR massage! (No extra charge, btw.) The hot springs were pleasant and well-done. We were pretty tired by then, but I wouldn't give it any negatives. Facilities were superb. Nice bathrooms. Lunch was 80%, so no complaints here. I would highly recommend these guys. Awesome.

Hi - This may be a bit early but we will be in Costa Rica Nov. 10 - 17. We are a group of 10 (7 adults and 3 kids ages 4 - 11). We have many q's....
1. will the kids be ok?
2. we have 1 senior (75 years old) that would like to do the tour but may not be able to do everything. is that ok?
3. is there an option not to do the canopy part?
4. we will be staying at the Margaritaville resort. is pick up possible from there and if so, how long is the drive to where the tour starts?
Written 20 June 2019
I believe it is good for all ages heights shapes and sizes. You can opt in or out of any event that’s part of the tour they will ask you that portion. As far as the pick up I am unsure I stayed at secrets resort so it’s best to ask the company if they facilitate transportation from your resort. But the employees are very respectful, polite and good amounts of English.
Thank you

We are staying in Tamarindo. How far would we have to travel to get to one of the pickup locations? We are family of 5 so it would just be us on the tour? Also - if we want to bypass the horseback riding for a car to the tubing location, is that possible?
