We had a fantastic day traveling with our very informative guide to Miravalles- it was fun, interactive, and he was more than accommodating. Gabriel answered every question we had throughout our journey…the adventure and the delicious Casado lunch was amazing!

Costa Rica Adventures is a Scam Tour operator!!!
Scam Scam Scam. Costa Rica Adventures is a Scam tour operator. They take your money and then do not show up for pick up.
Operator response
Unfortunately, we did not see the reservation due to communication problems with our mobile phone, and we were unable to operate that tour. Regarding the refund, it was not our responsibility; it was the company with which you made the reservation that should have processed the refund immediately. We confirmed the request from the refund email, so the company took care of issuing it to you.

Amazing experience!
My daughter and I went on this excursion today. Our tour guide, Bernardo, was just plain awesome. He was courteous, friendly and knowledgeable about anything we asked. We started out at the waterfall, it was so beautiful and the water was cool and refreshing. Then we went to the volcano walked around and had a mud bath, which was pretty unique and exhilarating. Afterwards, we sat in the hot spring and stepped down to the warm one then the cold one. Afterwards, we felt renewed and our skin was soft. We had a delicious traditional Costa Rican lunch and headed back. Bernard was always helping us out of the van, making sure our things were kept safe and offering to take pictures for us. He knew my daughter wanted to see monkeys on our vacation and said he'd watch for them. Well, we were almost back and he happened to spot about 5 of them up in the trees. He pulled over and helped us out and across the street to take photos. We never felt rushed or hurried along. He truly was an amazing tour guide. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. What a great day with lasting memories made. Thank you again, Bernard!

Great tour!
We enjoyed our tour a lot! Our driver was prompt and told us a lot of information about the local area. He stopped by the road to let us see some monkeys. The waterfalls were incredible to see! One waterfall you have to cross a very high hanging bridge which is a bit scary. The hot springs and mud bath was very nice. Also you can’t actually see any view of the actual volcano, just as a heads up. Lunch was the so tasty as well!

Activities locations are 2nd class. Overrated
Activities were good although facilities were not at all as good as pictures. Did not seem to have enough personnel and we kept losing time at each stop. Made for a very long day.
