A treasure trove of delights in the area – Things to do

There are plenty of activities to enjoy and places to visit in the area around the Riu Guanacaste Hotel. Whether you love the outdoors or the tranquility of the beach you will find something that excites you. Here is the Hotel Website

With beautiful terrain and many successful stables, the Guanacaste area is heaven for horse and pony enthusiasts. Book lessons and head out on the trails at professionally run private ranches. Or visit one of the many adventure centers in the countryside. Try zip-lining, rappelling or whitewater rafting in breath-taking surroundings.

There are few better ways to see local beauty spots like Rincon de la Vieja than with expert adventure companies who let you combine the enjoyment of nature with the thrills of adventure.

Take a tour of one of Guanacaste’s nature reserves and see the heart of Costa Rica. The country is proud of its natural wonders, and near to Riu Guanacaste, you will be able to spot exotic animals, from charismatic tapirs to gorgeous birds. Stumble upon natural wonders like the Viento Fresco Waterfall and take the plunge into the pure mountain waters.

Or reach some of the country’s least visited, but most wonderful beaches via the nature reserves. Secluded coves like Nancite are only reachable through the Santa Rosa National Park, so fuse your love of nature with your passion for the beach in a perfect day out.

The best time of year to enjoy the hotel

There are no really bad times to visit Guanacaste, but those seeking a true beach experience should head over during the “dry” season between November and April. Expect hot, dry conditions that are ideal for perfecting that tan, playing golf or taking a dip in the swimming pool. During the dry season, the tourist attractions of the region will be up and running, with everything available for you to have as relaxing a trip as you wish.

The “wet” season is still a fine time to fly out to Guanacaste, however. From around May until November, the tropical rains bring a wonderful natural diversity into bloom.

For those seeking the full spectrum of color, the widest possible range of animal life to see, and lush green hills that make perfect holiday snaps, they could be the right time to book.

The weather is still warm enough to enjoy surfing and swimming, but Guanacaste the natural attractions of Guanacaste can really shine, and with fewer visitors, crowds are thinner and sight-seeing can be more pleasant.

Getting to the resort is easy at any time of year.

Most visitors arrive by plane at nearby Liberia Airport and take buses or taxis to the resort. But you can also find many hire car businesses in the town of Liberia, as well as maps in local tourist information centers. Driving gives you much more flexibility in visiting local attractions and is well worth considering.

A classic destination

So if you are looking for a natural extravaganza or just a week on an idyllic tropical beach, Guanacaste may be the perfect destination. Every day can involve a new activity and be packed with beautiful sights, all from the comfort of a world-class hotel.

Making the most of your time

Whether you are traveling in a large group or enjoying a romantic break away, the complex and surroundings of Riu Guanacaste offer visitors a warm welcome with fine dining, nightlife, and attractions to suit every taste. When you arrive, ask the concierge for particular highlights of the season; depending on when you are visiting, this could be a placid boat trip to a secluded cove or the lively celebrations of Costa Rica’s Independence Day in September.

At Hotel Riu Guanacaste the dining options are mouth watering: from Furama’s Asian fusion buffet to the fine dining of Tucan, seafood is always a specialty in Costa Rica and your pleasure will be so much the better for it. Enjoy your stay.

Matapalo Beach

Matapalo Beach is truly one of Costa Rica’s tourist gems. Many people miss out on the Guanacaste region if they fly into San Jose, but the sands of Matapalo and the vibrant tourist activities that can be accessed from the hotel are actually very easy to reach.

Enjoy the surf, the sun and the spectacle of tropical nature at its most appealing. Be pampered by the Guanacaste Hotel staff and explore the hospitality of Costa Ricans in a stunning beach location.

How and when to visit Matapalo Beach

With Costa Rica’s variable climate, it is important to know the best time to visit Matapalo Beach so that holidaymakers avoid being soaked as they sunbathe on the pristine sands. The north-west region of Costa Rica generally enjoys a dry, warm period from December through to April, when temperatures allow for long afternoons lazing on the beach. But this is also high season for tourists, meaning that the beautiful beach sees a few more visitors. It won’t be crowded, but you might not enjoy the seclusion that you want.

Take the drive to Matapalo between June and July during the northern Summer, when Costa Rica’s tourist infrastructure livens up after a brief break. You might experience a little rain, but for long periods the beach will be sunny and warm, you will be able to find a secluded cozy spot, and the country around Matapalo will be a riot of gorgeous greens and colors.

A sandy jewel that’s easy to get to from Riu Guanacaste hotel

Head out on a boat to see the bay by sunset, or try pony-trekking in the interior. Or just enjoy the sporting delights of Riu Guanacaste, with tennis, golf and swimming you will always be entertained.

For adventurous holidaymakers, a trip to Cape Matapalo is a must. Be guided by an expert 4×4 driver or rent your own and find some of the most wonderful secluded coves in the Matapalo Beach area.

Ride the Pacific surf, swim at the picturesque Pan Dulce beach or walk the dramatic cliff-lined coastline and take some stunning holiday snaps. Take a walk to King Louis falls and swim in the pool beneath or take a nature tour of the forest with an experienced guide. Spot monkeys, try tree climbing and waterfall rappelling or take advantage of local knowledge by enlisting an expert to explain the dazzling plumage of the local birdlife.

Staying at the beach also lets you explore the surrounding region, which is filled with wonderful tourist opportunities. Take a tour of the Arenal Volcano region and relax in hot springs, book an adrenaline-filled whitewater rafting adventure and learn how to handle a steed at the equestrian center in Tamarindo. Get in shape on the tennis courts or perfect that tan on the unspoiled beaches, and enjoy one of Costa Rica’s finest tourist attractions.

With the attraction of seclusion and exciting attractions, Matapalo allows that rare blend of relaxation and entertainment. Sunbathe and take in unique outdoor experiences. Let the pure blue Pacific waters hypnotize you, or rush in to make a splash with a board in hand. Everyone can have the holiday that they want, however energetic, in a tourist haven like Matapalo.  Read more about Matapalo Beach Here

#1 Surf, party and see turtles in Tamarindo 

Once a sleepy fishing village, these days Playa Tamarindo delivers a lively beach culture, and even livelier nightlife.

But fear not if you also fancy some R&R. This stretch of coast is known for its stunning scenery. The sight of the sun slipping into the Pacific beyond the headland at the southern end of the beach is undeniably soul stirring.

Tamarindo is also a beauty spot beloved by beginner surfers, with reliable, relatively gentle waves breaking on Playa Tamarindo itself, along with neighbouring Playa Grande and Playa Langosta. 

If that wasn’t enough reason to visit, between November and mid-February leatherback turtles come ashore to lay their eggs in Marino Las Baulas National Park.

Located on the Río Mata estuary between Conchal and Tamarindo, this is one of the few remaining nesting sites of its kind in the world.  

Intrigued? Get the lowdown on Tamarindo in our guide .

Five kilometres west of Cañas, the long-established  Safaris Corobicí  (t2669 6191) specialises in gentle floating trips on the Río Corobicí.  

While these usually last from two hours, half-day trips are also available, with snacks included.  

Knowledgeable guides row while you observe the local mammals and reptiles, including howler and spider monkeys, surprisingly large crocodiles, iguanas and caimans.  

The trip also provides a prime opportunity for birdwatching, as several species — including motmots, cuckoos, falcons, ospreys, herons and the endangered jabiru stork — can be spotted along the river.

Located in Arenal Volcano National Park, 14km west of  La Fortuna,   Arenal volcano is one of Costa Rica’s top natural attractions, with its majestic conical peak looming large over the region. 

As such, taking a trip to Arenal volcano is one of the most rewarding tours to enjoy from Guanacaste, with a huge range of activities available.

On land, there's a host of hiking trails for all abilities , with expansive Arenal Lake offering fishing, kayaking and windsurfing trips. Or how about ziplining through the jungle, or going canyoning?

In addition, the area around Arenal volcano is a hotbed of stunning hot springs — take your pick from glitzy spa experiences in sublime tropical surroundings, and secret hot spots beloved by locals.

Taking of sublime surroundings, Arenal’s La Fortuna waterfall is a must-visit — it’s clear to see why it features in our run-down of the  best waterfalls in Costa Rica .

#4 See secret waterfalls in Rincón de la Vieja

Nature lovers visiting Guanacaste will want to push  Rincón de la Vieja National Park  to the top of their trip plans.

Sitting pretty 25km northeast of Liberia, the park’s varied landscapes and elevations delivers big on several fronts. 

First up, there’s the volcano the park is named after. With a perfectly proportioned conical peak, this is one of Costa Rica's most active volcanoes, as testified by the sulphur pools, bubbling mud pots and hot springs you’ll find in the park. 

Several trails run from the ranger station, with the westwards route to the  cataratas escondidas  (hidden waterfalls) coming especially recommended.  

With over 200 resident species — among them the three-wattled bellbird, the Montezuma oropendola, the trogon, and the spectacled owl — Rincón de la Vieja National Park is seventh heaven for bird-watchers.  

In addition to birds, keep an eye out for tapir, red deer, collared peccary, the two-toed sloth, and howler, white-faced and spider monkeys. Be sure to set off early and allow a full day to see as much as possible.

You’ll also want to set off early if you’re planning to hike to the summit of Rincón de la Vieja volcano. The trailhead is accessed via the Las Pailas entrance, with a marked route traversing lower montane rainforest that's lushly covered with epiphytes and mosses.  

At the summit (7.7 km away), Rincón de la Vieja presents a barren lunar landscape. There’s a smoking hole surrounded by black ash, with a pretty freshwater lake, Lago los Jilgueros, to the south. 

Secret waterfalls await in Rincón de la Vieja National Park, Guanacaste, Costa Rica © Shutterstock

#5 Surf and see turtles in Santa Rosa National Park 

With top trails and turtle-spotting opportunities, and excellent surfing, it’s little wonder that Santa Rosa National Park is one of Costa Rica’s most visited national parks. It’s also the country’s oldest. 

Home to home to 115 species of mammal, 250 species of bird, 100 amphibian and reptile species, and 3800 species of moth, Santa Rosa showcases Costa Rica’s biodiversity in staggering style. 

Visit between July and November to witness hundreds of olive ridley turtles nesting on Playa Nancite. Though too rough for swimming, the picturesque beaches of Naranjo and Nancite are popular with serious surfers.   

Note that many of Santa Rosa’s trails are intended for scientific researchers rather than tourists, so they’re not well signed. As a result, it’s a good idea to hire a guide. 

If you walk only one trail in park, make it the very short (1km) and undemanding  sendero natural, which provides an introduction to the unique features of the tropical dry forest. 

This curves around from the road just before La Casona — a formidable wooden and red-tiled homestead that’s one of Costa Rica’s most famous historic sites. Top tip: at one side of La Casona, a stair path leads to a viewpoint offering a magnificent perspective of the twin volcanoes of Rincón de la Vieja National Park.

Along the trail, look out for monster iguanas hiding on branches, and for the ubiquitous bats.

Designated a national park in 1995, Tenorio (1916m) is an active volcano, and the area is incredibly geothermically active. 

For example, within Tenorio Volcano National Park  you may well encounter mud pots and fumaroles — little columns of hot vapour escaping from the ground. 

Beginning at the park’s ranger station at the park entrance, a 6km trail takes you into the forest, where it eventually splits into a few well-marked loops. Just be aware that one false move could see you stepping into superheated volcanic soil — don’t step off the path.

The main trail is a steady climb that opens up to a spectacular view of Volcán Miravalles before leading to the striking waterfall of Río Celeste, where you can take a refreshing dip. 

The highlights of the park, though, are a stunningly bright blue lagoon, the Laguna Azul, and similarly coloured sections of the river that flow alongside the trail.

Though most people come to the park to glimpse the surreal turquoise waters of the Río Celeste, wildlife also thrives within the park’s borders. You may well see tapirs, agoutis, armadillos, long-tailed manakins and howler monkeys.

If you love the tropical rainforest in all its lush, biodiverse beauty, you’ll want to devote a whole day to  Heliconia’s Rain Forest and Hanging Bridges.  

Merging with Tenorio Volcano National Park, this privately-owned forest with a boutique lodge boasts over 70 hectares of pristine forest.  

Non-guests are very welcome to walk the 2.5 km wooded trail for a modest fee — expect to see a flurry of dancing butterflies, monkeys, tapirs and sloths along the way.

The walk also presents an impressive array of flora, with bromeliads and orchids dazzling at every turn.  

The highlight here is a series of suspension bridges that extend through the forest canopy. There are four bridges in total, three of them 30-metres high and 95-metres long.  

The forest’s centrepiece is the fourth bridge — over 100 metres long and a heady 40 metres above ground.

There’s no better way to immerse yourself in the rainforest, with epic views awaiting those with a head for heights.

#8 Be wowed by birds in Palo Verde National Park  

Created to preserve the habitat of migratory birds, Palo Verde National Park is a must-visit for avian aficionados.

Located on the northern bank of the Río Tempisque, it’s home to one of the largest concentrations of waterfowl in the whole of Central America, which is really saying something. 

Among the 300+ species of bird regularly seen here, you’ll find the endangered jabiru stork and the black-crowned night heron. Away from the riverbank, it’s likely you’ll see toucans and increasingly rare scarlet macaws.   

To maximise your experience, visit during the height of the dry season — between January and March — when most of the 250 or so migratory species are in residence. Come evening, birds, monkeys, coatis and deer gather around the precious waterholes.  

Alongside there being fewer birds during the wet season, it’s worth noting that parts of Palo Verde National Park are inaccessible during the wet season. This is because flooding creates saltwater and freshwater lakes and swamps.  

Time it right, though, and birders will be rewarded with an unforgettable excursion of a lifetime.

Travel tip: read our guide to the  best national parks in Costa Rica .

Unveiling an eerie underground world of stalagmites and stalactites in a network of around forty interconnected caves, Barra Honda National Park is a Guanacaste tours you won’t forget in a hurry.  

While this trip isn’t for claustrophobes or acrophobes (some of the caves are over 200m deep), those with a sense of adventure will find the experience utterly exhilarating.

After being kitted out with a rope harness and a helmet, a guide will lead you into the otherworldly subterranean world. At times the formations resemble a crumbling cathedral complex. 

While most people visit the enormous stalagmites and stalactites in Terciopelo cave, those interested in culture should ask about exploring Nicoa. The remains of pre-Columbian people were recently found here, along with burial ornaments that are thought to be over two thousand years old.   

Love wildlife? Ask about taking a guided bat tour. These usually leave the ranger station at 4pm, returning by 8pm after you’ve witnessed thousands of bats leaving the Pozo Hediondo cave. It’s another experience you won’t forget anytime soon.

#10 Visit Diamante Eco Adventure Park 

With an attractive oceanfront location, and one of Costa Rica's top wildlife education centres,  Diamante Eco Adventure Park comes highly recommended for all ages. 

Most folk are drawn here by the reputation of the park’s ziplines. These include the 30-foot free fall Quick Jump, and the ocean-view Superman experience. Running for almost a mile, this is Costa Rica’s longest dual-zipline.

Then there’s the hanging bridge to walk — watch out for crocodiles below while keeping your eyes peeled for parrots and toucans in the forest canopy. 

Meanwhile, Diamante’s Animal Sanctuary offers up-close viewing opportunities, with biologists on hand to answer any questions. The sanctuary’s residents include sloths, monkeys, jaguars and pumas, plus plenty of birds, frogs, and reptiles.  

There’s also a butterfly observatory, a glorious botanical garden, and a hands-on coffee, chocolate and sugar cane cultural experience in the park’s replica of a traditional house.

When you’re done on land (ATV tours and horse-riding are also available), head to Hammock Beach to kayak or paddle-board.

If you're looking to maximise your experience of Central America, visiting Nicaragua  is a top tour to take from Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

You can cover a surprising array of experiences in a single day. Better still, consider booking a weekend break to explore  Lake Nicaragua  and its largest island —  Isla de Ometepe . 

Blessed with lush scenery, the island’s name comes courtesy of Nicaragua’s original inhabitants, the Chorotegans, who named it after its twin volcanoes — Ome Tepetl, meaning “the place of two hills”. 

Alongside viewing the volcano, with trails leading to craters and waterfalls, Isla de Ometepe has much to offer travellers who are interested in indigenous culture.

For example, guides at Finca Magdalena (an agricultural cooperative and lodge) lead tours to view some of the island's petroglyphs. They also offer volcano hikes, and trips to the cloud forest and volcano lagoon.

For a very different experience, you could take a trip to San Juan Del Sur  in Nicaragua. Only thirty minutes from the border crossing at Penas Blancas, it's known for its crescent-shaped beach and excellent surf breaks. 

No longer the sleepy fishing village it was some ten years ago, San Juan del Sur has a reputation for being something of a party town. That said, its vibe remains laidback, with candy-coloured buildings hosting small hostels and hotels, microbreweries and bars.

#12 Be thrilled by a Buena Vista Mega Combo Tour 

If you fancy experiencing a stack of Guanacaste’s glorious adventure experiences on one gratifying tour, it doesn’t get better than booking a  Buena Vista Mega Combo Tour . 

As its name suggests, this trip combines a range of activities to form one big experience in the grounds of Buena Vista Lodge.

Located near Rincon de la Vieja volcano, this beautiful site offers everything from ziplining and hanging bridge walks, to horse-riding and hiking. Then there’s the epic jungle slide that zooms you down through the rainforest.

It goes without saying that you can expect to see a lot of wildlife here, too (this is Costa Rica, after all). And, as a result of its location near Rincon de la Vieja volcano, Buena Vista is blessed with a bounty of mineral-rich mud baths and hot springs — perfect for chilling out in after all that hiking, riding, zipping and zooming.

Our Guests Rate Us #1 on TripAdvisor

"Awesome zip line. I've been on four previous ziplines and this was the fastest and longest. The employees at the zipline were very safety oriented. The view was fantastic. The animal sanctuary was very well maintained with knowledgable personnel at every exhibit. Well worth the money"

"My mother and I enjoyed the ATV Tour! We were the only guests during our timeslot so it was a private tour. The tour guide was patient, friendly, and made sure we had a great time. We ATV'd through the jungle, on the street, and on the beach. The tour guide made sure we got great pictures and even took us to see the monkeys. I would definitely recommend this tour and do it again!"

"This is a great one stop shop if you aren't in Costa Rica for long. The Animal Sanctuary is amazing there are educational guides all over the park that are very knowledgeable. The Zipline is insane and the horseback riding is very enjoyable. They provide Lunch that is very good and the staff is very helpful! So much fun!!"

"First time zip lining and glad we went to Diamante! The laying down "Superman" zip line was awesome! They did a great job of putting us at ease and making the experience so much fun. The Eco park was a great time for my nephew, 7 years old, he was able to see all the animals and learn so much! Sloths were the highlight for him! Worth the time and money to spend a day visiting this park! We did the Adventure Pass for full access, best value."

"Very nicely set up, with a lovely range of rescued animals from massive Jaguars down to the tiniest tree frogs and everything in between. The keepers are so happy to tell you about the species they look after and make things very interesting . A really enjoyable few hours.. Obviously, there’s the zip wire, ATV tours etc. ( we didn’t do that. ) Which would make it an enjoyable day... Quite expensive, but they get no funding off the government, so every Colon spent goes on the upkeep of the animals they look after.."

Best Ziplining In Costa Rica for Families

E veryone who visits Costa Rica wants to do an excursion, and there are a ton to choose from. One of the most popular excursions is ziplining- in this post, you’ll find out how it works and where the best ziplines are.

RELATED POST: Costa Rica With Kids- The Complete Guide

About Ziplining in Costa Rica

Ziplining first arrived in Costa Rica in 1997, and it was an international phenomenon. Given the amazing trees in the Costa Rican rainforest, it was a natural progression to make hanging suspension bridges and sky trams into an experience that gives visitors a pure adrenaline rush. Today, almost every visitor to Costa Rica wants to experience flying through the trees on a zipline.

Ziplines are steel cables mounted high up between two (very sturdy) trees. Visitors were a harness between their legs and around their torsos and then clamp onto the zipline with a carabiner. Using heavy-duty leather gloves, you jump and push off of a platform and zip through the trees. In the end, you use your hands with the gloves as a brake as you arrive at the next platform.

You will generally have to go higher in the mountains from the main registration area, this might be through hiking or a short drive in a large truck. Some zip lines start out from a trail, on others you will climb a set of stairs to the platform on the first tree and then start your adventure.

Many zip lines also offer the Tarzan Swing as an additional experience. This is where you start on a tall platform and are released into an area without trees. You swing back and forth until your momentum stops. It’s an absolute thrill.

Ziplining Safety Considerations For Families

There are zip lines that allow children as young as four years old to participate. Some companies have a minimum or maximum weight requirement rather than an age requirement. You do need to keep in mind a few safety considerations:

• Check to make sure kids are allowed. If the website doesn’t say, then call and ask this specific question. You may also want to ask what safety precautions are in place for kids. Generally, a guide will fly with young children to keep them safe.
• Check the length of the cables and ask about the possibility of kids getting stuck. We generally pick places with shorter cables to minimize the chance of our kids getting stuck in the middle and a guide having to go out and “rescue” them. The rescue generally consists of a guide heading slowly out to the location of the child (or person) and then hand over hand bringing them back. It’s not fun for the guide or the child.
• When you arrive, check the condition of the gloves and helmets. The gloves you wear should be leather and have little wear and tear. This minimizes the chance that your hand will get burned when braking. If you are getting a cable burn, there is no way you will be able to stop yourself in the end.
• The number of guides. You need a guide at each platform to facilitate clipping in and out from zipline to zipline. However, if you have a larger group, you need more guides. Ask how many guides there are per person. I think a 1:6 ratio is minimum.
• Know that you can zip line in the rain, but the cables are much faster. It generally does not rain in the mornings in Costa Rica, so if rain is a consideration for you and your family, make sure to book a morning tour.

We also look for ziplines with slower speeds just to minimize any danger of running into a tree at the next platform. Most accidents occur when a person does not stop fast enough at the end of a cable and runs into a tree at velocity. This can cause injury or death. It’s less likely that young kids will experience a velocity fast enough to do this, but it’s good to know that it’s a possibility. I would say to have an adult go before the children and then the other adult go after so that the kids are in the middle and parents can be there to help the guides if need be.

What To Bring on a Zipline Tour

Honestly, you want to travel light on a tour. Once you get your harness on, you will not really be able to change your clothes, and loose clothing is also generally not permitted for safety reasons. This means tying a jacket around your waist is a no-go.

Cell phones and cameras are permitted, but if it’s rainy and they aren’t waterproof, you will run the risk of them getting damaged. I recommend putting cell phones in a zippered pocket or in a waterproof case around your neck to avoid any chance of them falling into the abyss. If a phone or camera falls, it’s over.

Many zip line tours offer photos for an additional fee, and I think they are worth the investment.

You generally won’t be in a ton of sun in the treetops, but you may want sunscreen. Bug repellents are an absolute must , there are bugs everywhere.

Best ziplines in costa rica, eco glide – la fortuna.

Eco Glide is hands down this is the absolute best place to experience the zipline canopy tours in the entire country if you are visiting with young children. Located in La Fortuna , this is the only place we let our kids zip line and we always have had the absolute best experiences.

Locally owned by a Costa Rican family, safety measures here are top-notch. At least 8 guides accompany every tour, and if young kids are present they have a guide for each child.

The company replaces gloves and helmets frequently. There is a training line no more than 6 feet tall so kids can get the experience before committing to the high trees. This is great for kids who may not want to actually zipline after they try it.

The canopy tour itself offers amazing views of the Arenal volcano. The guides here are also experienced nature guides, and you’ll often spot amazing species of birds in the rainforest.

If you are in La Fortuna, this is the place to go with kids. When we are here, we stay at either Volcano Lodge and Springs , Rancho Margot , or Baldi Hot Springs . If you want to go to a fun hot spring water park, check out Kalambu .

Sky adventures monteverde and sky adventures arenal.

Sky Adventures is one of the largest and oldest zipline companies in Costa Rica. They are located in both Arenal and Monteverde. They boast the longest zipline in Central America (if not all of Latin America.)

This thrilling zipline experience is perfect for adults and adolescents given the super long cables. The same company also offers hanging bridges and an aerial tram they call the sky tram on property. They have kayaks, bikes, and even a chocolate tour.

The best way to book is right on their website- you’ll find the cheapest rates and they have guides for everything right on site. If you aren’t renting a car though you’ll want to book through a tour agency that offers transportation to and from the location.

If you want to experience multiple tours, the best time to arrive is in the morning.

Selvatura Park – Monteverde

Fly through the Monteverde cloud forest with Selvatura. What is unique about this zipline course is that they have a lot of different packages, including one for families. The family packs can include a butterfly garden. There is also a reptile and amphibian exhibit.

If you want to also do the hanging brides you can do that here. It’s really a one-stop-shop for families which I love.

Diamante Eco Adventure Park – Guanacaste

This adventure park is one of the few that offer the Superman cables for the Superman swing. This is basically where you swing through the forest on your belly. I haven’t tried it because our kids never had the weight requirement (65 pounds) to go on these ziplines. Superman is definitely a unique experience, so if you want to fly through the air like your favorite superhero, this is the place to go.

Note that ziplining in the Guanacaste area can be hot, so make sure to dress appropriately. This park offers great photo packages, and you can repurchase, sign your waiver and book everything online before you go.

There is also a wildlife sanctuary on the property at an extra cost, so you can see sloths and other Costa Rican wildlife. I also love that they include a Costa Rican coffee and food experience (LINK) so you can experience traditional Costa Rican food LINK and culture.

This is located near the all-inclusive resort Riu/Riu Palace.

Hacienda Guachepelin – Liberia

One of our favorite places to stay because of the hot springs right on property, the hacienda offers full-day adventure tours. They offer packages with a zipline experience, horseback ride, and canyoneering. one of the best things about this property is that is it located so close to active volcanoes (like Rincon de la Vieja volcano) that you get great views while you are soaring through the trees.

Try to book the tours straight through the website if you have a car, it will be cheaper and it’s easy to get here from Liberia or any of the local beaches such as Tamarindo, Playa del Coco, and more.

Ocean Ranch Park – Jaco

This is a relatively new zip lining tour near Jaco. It’s American-owned. Nature lovers will appreciate this park as they have a guided tour for birdwatching. Given its close proximity to Carara national park you are guaranteed to see scarlet macaws, at the very least.

This park also has ATV tours, and it is one of the only ATV/zip line combos. If you are staying in or near Jaco (such as Playa Mantas or Playa Blanca ) make sure to visit. Afterward, you can grab a bite to eat in Jaco LINK before heading over to our favorite- the Crocodile Man croc tours .

Braulio Carrillo Park – Limon

I am pretty sure this is the only Costa Rica zip line tour located inside a national park. I will admit that a photo of the aerial tram ride was the impetus for me to go to Costa Rica in the first place as I was enchanted by the views in a photo I saw in a book at the library. (It’s true!)

This park is located as a relatively easy day trip from San Jose . It’s also right along the road to the Caribbean sea LINK and the rainforest canopy here is second to none given the dense forests endemic to the area. This is one of the best places for wildlife viewing while standing on the observation deck between rides.

Wants: A mid-sized, walkable downtown with a mix of authentic CR & typical tourist places (ex. beach bars/restaurants, surf rentals), beautiful sandy beach with smaller waves (ex. swimmable, beginner surfing), restaurants & bars that will be open in the evenings of November. Think Tamarindo about 10 years ago! We will have a rental car & plan to beach hop on some days.

If you have any small hotel or AirBnB suggestions that are within a 10 minute walk to the beach, that would be great too. We'd like to find something with a tropical CR feel rather than a large resort, ideally under $250/couple/night.

For reference, my husband and I previously stayed in Tamarindo at Hotel Luamey & Hotel Pasatiempo. Although both room accommodations were rather simple, the we loved the unique vibe of the public spaces (ex. lush vegetation, wildlife, pool, tiki building, people). They were also very walkable to the beach & downtown.

We stayed in Samara last November and are booked to come back this November. It has a nice long beach with a mix of locals and tourists. Waves are smaller, but they did have a surf school if I recall. Lots of restaurants. I did find the downtown busy, but we didn’t spend much time there. We stayed at a great condo, Alta Vista Condominiums, which is only a few blocks from the beach, with a really nice view of the ocean. I love the vibe of the town with dogs playing on the beach, some free roaming horses, and even saw some howler monkeys a few times.
