I flew to Costa Rica with five of my friends to celebrate my birthday and after looking at several tours, this private one was recommended by my Airbnb host. It was great because we were on our own schedule in a private tour rather than a large group and despite the early morning pick up, our driver Pato had us laughing from the second. He came to pick us up. There were long car rides from our place, but he kept us informed, entertained and distracted from the traffic.
The tour itself was great. The zip lining was thrilling with a fun surprise on one of the last lines. The horseback riding was a great way to try it out on different terrain with well trained horses. The lunch buffet was good and Pato had the staff surprise me with a song and birthday cake. We opted out of doing the waterslide so that we could have more time at the Hot Springs, which was nice and relaxing. Pato gave us our privacy, but somehow had towels ready and waiting for us as soon as we were getting out.
We quickly learned how genuinely kind Costa Rican people are during this trip, but Pato truly made our day. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Costa Rica and request Pato if you can! You won’t be disappointed!
