Venado Caves

Reviewed By Richard-E-Canada

Very interesting, worthwhile tour. We did the full trip, complete with tight squeezes through some narrow spots and some hands-and-knees passages in water. You’ll get thoroughly wet, but it’s warm and not very muddy. Guide was friendly and funny, with decades of experience. I brought my own powerful waterproof light and it was helpful for a few photos. If you’re -how should I put it- “sizeable” , the tight squeezes might be challenging or impossible, but there are other more open options.

We took a family vacation to Costa Rica and since we run a fishing charter business ourselves, we wanted to fish the local waters. Signed up for a 3/4 fishing trip with a local team and took the entire family. The guys were great and took us to some of their favorite spots. Caught all kinds of fish, made great memories, and had the best day on the water! Thank you!

These two brothers were wonderful guides and are amazing stewards of the land. We saw so much! So glad we went. Prepare with bug spray and a good head lamp or flash light. At the end Humberto's family provided warm hospitality and we heard Enrique's stories. Don't use a tour company. This is the authentic CR experience!

Booked at our resort through Jacamar tours. Pick up at resort early morning for an interesting drive to the attraction (what they call the Costa Rican massage on some bumpy roads for about half the trip). Our Jacamar driver Daniel and Sensoria guide John were both very informative and knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna and were very good at spotting wildlife that we would have missed. Blue waterfalls, wet pools and a thermal pool flowing down from Rincon de la Vieja so bring a swim suit. Would suggest being in reasonable shape for the 3 hour hike and a very good bug spray. Nice lunch at the end of the hike.

Loved Jeody, our guide thru Gabriel’s Tours. He took our family of 6 on a great nature hike, swam in a 55 degree waterfall pool, saw fumeroles and mud pots, howler monkeys, aqua colored butterflies and iguanas. Beautiful park. Picked us up at Dreams Las Mareas resort which is close to Nicaragua and the drive was 1 1/2 hrs. Jeody made the day even better! Fun, very bright and knowledgeable. I would ask for him to be your guide. You will be delighted you did. Tell him Mo and Dave rec. him!

Playa Guiones

Reviewed By sabsnyc - Hamburg, Germany

Every day around five the latest ( you can come here all day) it’s good to come to the beach and watch the sunset while having a beer or even better while jumping the waves . It’s a very natural kept beach so no typically white sand to sit . You will find yourself a small log to sit on. High tide is following the sunset so there wo t be no dry spot . Make sure you bring only a towel or secure your belongings up high. It’s definitely worth it!!!!
