Xplore Costa Rica was amazing. Denise helped us with everything from Airport transfers, to Adventure Combo Excursions, Surf lessons and booking a Catamaran. She was very responsive over email and ensured we were taken care of - always checking in the day before to ensure confirmation. Drivers were fun and professional and I would highly recommend them. Pura Vida.

We booked an ATV and snorkeling tour with Carlos and it was so much fun. He picked us up at our hotel, brought us to his location and we rode semi-automatic ATVs about 45 minutes to a secluded beach (we were the only ones there). Provided us with snorkeling gear and we snorkeled for about 40 minutes. The fish and sites were stunning. We then rode back and he deposited us back at the hotel. Don’t plan on going anywhere after your ride unless you don’t mind being dirty. You get SUPER dusty on the ATVs.

You will travel up the mountain side to the zip lines by horseback. In route you will observe the beautiful plantations where the dry forest meets the rainforest, as well as some exotic birds. You will then zip line, flying over the treetops and gliding back down the mountain to base camp where you will be sure to chalk up some adrenaline sliding down our 475 meter waterslide. It is now time to relax. You will enjoy a traditional lunch followed by unwinding in a beautiful natural spa. Here you will lather yourself with volcanic mud which has many medicinal and therapeutic properties, flush it all off under the ravishing waterfall and tranquilize in the natural hot springs. En route back home we will stop in a beautiful rustic restaurant with the best views in La Cruz. You will revel in the beautiful views and sunset while sipping on coffee or an iced cold beer.

I actually went to two tours (also did Rio Tempisque) with Native's Way. Our guide Gustavo was friendly and very informative, telling us about the plants birds, and of course about the wonderful volcano fumaroles, mud puddles, etc. Gustavo was a good driver, and accommodated our need to have occasional bathroom or snack stops. One suggestion to Native Way would be to be a little more clear about what to bring along; we did not need a change of clothes after the hot spring dip, as there were changing room. I would definitely book again with these folks next time I vacation in Tamarindo.
