Itinerary
The outdoor adventure sets off from the Playa Jaco and Los Suenos areas.
Your bilingual guide will transport you safely through backcountry roads, rivers and mountains on your tipsy journey. You will pass through several hidden local spots for drinks and fun – all served by some of the nicest people you will ever meet. You will begin your tour leaving the Jaco or Los Suenos area and traveling to Quebrada Armarilla.
You will continue to Mata de Platano - .a tiny town right on the banks of a scenic river, Rio Turrubares. After a pit stop at the local riverside bar and a quick dip in the warm waters of Rio Turrubares, we are back on the trail and headed further up into the sticks. You will pass through pueblos Angostura, Pavones, Montelimar and San Gabriel,with their rugged country simplicity and stoic old churches.
Just a beer around the corner and we arrive in Las Delicias, a quiet town where life is stress-free, simple values rule, and no one is in a hurry to go anywhere. Delicias is also home to one of our favorite old barkeeps – the famous Pocho! Just walking into his old western-style saloon will give you a welcoming feeling of a simpler, more peaceful way of life. Our next stop is in the town of Bijagual, the home of the only bullfighting arena around, a beautiful town soccer field, and another authentic bar - the only one in town!The super-friendly staff there will be happy to meet you, and of course offer to make you a delicious cocktail should you decide to purchase one.
Another scenic drive and you will arrive at your final stop before beginning the descent down the mountain. This last stop is a quaint mountain top gem. Great people and great food are included - cold drinks are available for purchase, too! You will want to savor the unbelievable views of the Nicoya Peninsula, the Pacific Ocean, and breathtaking mountain views. Following lunch we will begin your trip winding 2000 feet down the mountain, through the rainforest, past a waterfall and back to Adventure Tours headquarters.

We had such an amazing time with Vincent! Adventure was fun and so was the restaurant. I would highly recommend this activity
My husband and best friend celebrated my birthday with Dennis driving through the lush mountains and jungles of Costa Rica. Dennis was very accommodating, thoughtful and polite. He was the host with the most and made our experience very memorable. It was a very fun and educational adventure. A must do, even if only for the views and all their glory alone!
Our tour guide was super fun! He made our trip even more special because of all his attention to detail. It’s a great thrilling experience, going through the jungle, swimming in a waterfall, and all while taking shots and drinking beers. Totally worth it!
We had an excellent time on the Booze Cruise! Our guide was Alonso and he was great! He was extremely nice and a fun guide. The food stop was really, really great. We really enjoyed it! The views were stunning along the way, and the stop at Jaco Falls was so cool! Alonso also made a slight detour for us to point out more wildlife, which we really appreciated. I would absolutely book this again. It was extremely fun. Highly recommended.
I wasn’t totally sure what to expect when booking this but it ended up being one of our favorite excursions we’ve ever done. Yordan was an awesome guide and pointed out many different plants and animals as we drove by. Between Costa Rican beers, lots of history and fun facts, and a delicious lunch at a local spot we couldn’t have asked for anything else
We expected a guided party tour but it was just a long commute in the back of a truck with cooler. Each traveller was allotted 4 beer, we visited a waterfall had lunch then a long drive back. We had a shot at each stop. The driver was very nice but we were disappointed. The two other guests had enough and opted to ride back inside the truck. The drive was too fast to even take pictures.
Hello Dany_P. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience in our waterfalls and beautiful mountains. Your driver and guide paid for the extra beers you demanded out of their own pockets to try to make you happy. We are sorry to see that it wasn't enough for you. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
This was not at all what we were expecting - in the best way possible. The hosts were great. A fun excursion complete with side-by-sides, hiking, waterfall swims, and amazing views. The food was also excellent!
Our jungle booze cruise was so much fun! Our tour guide Naron was hilarious and definitely knew all of the cool spots to see! Lunch was my favorite meal during our entire trip! 10 out of 10 would recommend!
The tour was very good. The tour guides were excellent (Narron and Denis) pointing out wildlife and interesting plants. The demonstration of the trap spider was certainly entertaining. The dip in the water at Jaco Falls was refreshing and beautiful. The stop at the restaurant for lunch served very good authentic Costa Rican food. However, the description for the tour states that there would be stops at several local small town bars, served by locals. This did not happen. In fact, the Iunch did not include alcoholic drinks either. The tour included approximately 16 beers for 5 people, along with a few shots of guava liqour. The description for the tour needs to be updated or fulfilled. 5 stars for the guides, but 3 stars for the tour, when comparing to the description.
Such an amazing experience! We had the absolute best time!! They served us beer and we went to a majestic waterfall! We also went to lunch at this beautiful look out spot!
