This was by far the best tour we took while in Costa Rica, thanks to our incredible guide, Jorge. Jorge planned a day like no other for us. He was kind, humorous, polite, respectful, fun, and quite knowledgeable. We experienced the best of Costa Rica, truly la pura vida!!!! We saw gorgeous waterfalls, unique birds and animals, and other amazing flora and fauna. We enjoyed comfortable, well paced hiking, an exhilarating waterslide, thrilling ziplines, soothing thermal pools, marvelous rejuvenating mud, delicious food and so much more!!!! Jorge also played some great music and is truly a rock and roll aficionado. Jorge treated us like rock stars and with our sincere gratitude for his efforts, we enjoyed a tour of a lifetime. We highly recommend this tour, especially with Jorge. He is SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!

I went with my kids (13 and 10). This was our first time ziplining, and we all enjoyed it. The tour went really quickly, maybe because our party was small. Our guides were nice, but not super talkative. Having done a different zipline in another part of Costa Rica, for the same price, I will say that this is a "starter" course for some of the more "extreme" lines you can do in other areas.

Located on the slopes of the Tenorio Volcano, there will be a two-hour hike with many stops to see the variety of flora and fauna in the surrounding tropical rainforest.

We booked a private excursion with Pininos for the Mega tour - Ziplining, Horse backriding and then white water tubing. With 4 teens it is hard to "thrill" them but we had a great time on this excursion. We booked "private" because we did not want to share a van with anyone else or stop at multiple hotels to pick up people - since we are 6 people this worked out great for us. The Ziplining is done back and forth over a river canyon and there are 8 ziplines. There is an opportunity to repel down a wall and climb back up after the ziplines but only our youngest (13) elected to do that activity due to the heat (the rest of us watched). The horse back ride was about 30 minutes and brought us to the river. The tubing was refreshing and you sit in a tub with a seat - warning here that this has lots of rapids and a waterfall that you go over - perfect for my 13, 15, 17 and 17 year old teens. We had multiple guides in the river who were keeping everyone safe - it was exciting but you never felt in danger. (If you have small children you should work with Pininos to see how this is handled because the waterfall drop is about 7 feet). At the end of the tubing you have lunch and then a short walk to the hotsprings for a soak. IT was a blast and I would highly recommend Pininos - they made sure that everything ran smoothly for us. On the way home they stopped at Walmart at our request so we could shop for drinks and misc. An adventure to thrill 4 teens that parents also enjoyed is worth the money. Thanks Pininos!

We had an amazing day with the Buena Vista Mega Combo tour. Ricardo was our guide and picked us up from our hotel. He was truly wonderful! He was so informative about Costa Rica and gave us lots of interesting info and facts. Ricardo and Liz accompanied us through the day with zip lining, horse riding, water slide and mud/hot springs. The lunch was delicious! I would highly recommend this company for your Costa Rica Tour experiences as they can organize every kind of trip. Melvin was very communicative and Ricardo was the best! I would definitely book directly with them and don’t go through a third party like Viator as we had originally done. Viator were completely disorganized but thankfully Melvin was extremely fast in setting up the tour for us with little notice. Again, I highly recommend and will book direct through this company next time we visit beautiful Costa Rica!
