ATV & Zipline Combo

Trails + canopy, back-to-back

ATV through forest trails to hidden waterfalls where you can swim and jump from diving platforms, then ten ziplines of varying speed and length across the canopy. Two tours in one day — this one books fast.

⏱ 4 hours

Waterfalls & Crocodiles Combo

Swim in the falls, cruise the croc river

A 30-minute rainforest hike to a chain of waterfalls with natural pools — swim, or jump from 10 to 14 feet — then empanadas and smoothies at a mountain restaurant. After that, a boat tour on the Tárcoles River for crocodiles and birds.

⏱ 6 hours

Horseback & ATV Combo

Ride horseback, then hit the trails on an ATV

A horseback ride through forest trails, up into the mountains, and out along the beach on a specially trained horse — then you trade the saddle for an ATV. A quick test drive, then two hours of trails, scenic viewpoints, and waterfalls with natural pools you can swim and jump into. One slow and scenic, one full-throttle — the best of both.

⏱ About 4 hours

Chocolate & ATV Combo

A hands-on chocolate experience, then off-road on an ATV

A hands-on chocolate experience to start — Costa Rican cacao from bean to bar, with plenty to taste — then onto an ATV for two hours. A test drive, forest trails, a scenic viewpoint, and a waterfall with natural pools to cool off in. A sweet, easygoing start with an off-road finish.

Jacó Waterfall Tour

Hike in, swim, eat local

A 20-minute drive into the mountains above Jacó, then a hike through rainforest to cascading waterfalls with natural pools you can swim and climb. Smoothie and empanada to finish. A moderate hike — closed-toe shoes required.

⏱ 3h 40m

Nauyaca Waterfall

One of the best waterfalls in the country

A full day down to Dominical: a 2.5-hour drive, a tractor-wagon ride, and a short hike to the double-tiered Nauyaca falls, where the swimming hole runs up to 12 meters deep. Lunch included.

⏱ 10 hours (7am–5pm)

Bijagual Waterfall

One of the tallest waterfalls in Costa Rica

A 45-minute drive and a challenging two-kilometer hike through rainforest to the Bijagual falls, with natural pools to cool off in. Wood-fired Costa Rican lunch at a mountain restaurant to finish.

⏱ About 5h 40m

Zipline Jacó

Canopy zipline above the jungle

Ten cables of varying length and speed through the treetops above Playa Hermosa, just outside Jacó. A tractor takes you up the mountain to start. Good for anyone — first-timers included.

⏱ 2 hours

Horseback Riding

Through jungle, mountains, and beach

A two-hour ride through forest and mountains that opens out onto the beach. Set up for novice and experienced riders alike.

⏱ 2 hours

2-Hour ATV Tour

Quick off-road ride to a waterfall

Two hours on an ATV into the backcountry — forest trails, a mountain viewpoint, and a waterfall with natural pools. Safety briefing and a test drive first. Good if you're short on time.

⏱ 2 hours

3-Hour ATV Tour

Beach, jungle, and a waterfall

Builds on the 2-hour route with more ground — forest trails, a scenic viewpoint, a stretch of beach, and a waterfall with pools to swim in.

⏱ 3 hours

4-Hour ATV Tour

The full route with lunch included

The longest ATV route — two waterfalls with swimming, a mountain lookout, and a stretch of beach, plus a typical Costa Rican lunch. The full morning out. Worth it.

⏱ 4 hours

Crocodile Tour — Tárcoles River

Boat tour through croc territory

A two-hour boat tour on the Tárcoles River — one of Costa Rica's longest — where the crocodiles are large and the birdwatching through the mangroves is some of the best around.

⏱ 3 hours

Monkey Mangrove Tour

Boat through the mangroves, monkeys overhead

A calm boat tour through the mangrove canals near Quepos with a naturalist guide — white-faced capuchin monkeys, birds, and more wildlife than you'll know what to do with.

⏱ About 3h 30m

Manuel Antonio National Park

Costa Rica's most famous park

A day trip from Jacó to Manuel Antonio — a guided hike to spot sloths, monkeys, and birds, then time on one of the country's best beaches and a local lunch.

⏱ 8 hours (7am–3:30pm)

Carara National Park

Birdwatching, sloths, and howler monkeys

An easy hike through big-tree trails at Carara, 25 minutes from Jacó — one of the best places in the country to see scarlet macaws in the wild, plus monkeys and the occasional sloth.

⏱ About 3 hours

Poás Volcano Day Trip

Active crater high in the Alajuela highlands

A full day up to Poás, an active volcano in the Alajuela highlands — a scenic drive, a short hike, and an up-close look at the crater, paired with a coffee plantation or the La Paz waterfall gardens.

⏱ About 12 hours

Jacó Views & Culinary Experience

Mountain views and a home-cooked Costa Rican meal

An easygoing half-day in the mountains above Jacó — scenic viewpoints, a waterfall stop, and a traditional lunch at Doña Marta's, with tortilla-making and fresh juices. No hard hiking.

⏱ Half day
