Things to do in  Jaco

We had a wonderful time! The waterfall and the entire hike was absolutely amazing and our tour guide did a fantastic job explaining everything. Highly recommend this tour if you are here in jaco.

This excursions was delightful! The staff was amazing attending to your every need. The boat ride is 2 hours one way so be mindful of that. Snorkeling was fun but the water a little too murky to see anything. Overall I LOVED this. Our driver from Jaco was Hugo and a lovely man. I would recommend.

It was a rainy day in Jaco and we found the best thing to do! Going across the creeks and hiking across the water and up to the waterfall was amazing! A great time was had be everyone in our group…from the cautious to the adventurous ones.

My husband and I were traveling from San Jose to Jaco. Randall and Gabby were so sweet and accommodating! They gave us so many recommendations for Costa Rica and advice. They had drinks and snacks provided at no extra cost along with air conditioning! They even let us stop at a bridge to see crocodiles!

First let me say the tour operator was fantastic-they graciously accommodated some changes I needed to make. This was my second trip to Costa Rica. More importantly there was my guide Jean Paul-Jean Paul was excellent in every way…providing guidance and key instructions when I needed them. At one point on the ride I got a little feint. JP was quickly able to arrange to get some help. He sprang into action! The waterfalls were lovely, but for me the experience of my first ATV ride in Costa Rica made it special. And JP’s attention and experience made the difference! Do a tour with these folks if you’re staying near Jaco.

Pablo was an amazing tour guide. When looking to book an excursion we wanted someone who was knowledgeable and someone who enjoyed what they do and Pablo was just that! He made the entire hike so fun and enjoyable with his positive attitude! He was very personable and really cared about creating a great time! We also had lunch which was one of the best meals we’ve had in Jaco. If you’re looking for a fun hike to beautiful waterfalls book with Pablo!

Highly satisfied with Alvaro and his shuttle company. The drivers were professional, friendly and English-speaking. They waited for me patiently when my flight was 30 mins late, greeted us with a smile and fully accommodated my group with our last minute changes. The shuttle was extremely clean and comfortable and provided free Wifi access all the way to Jaco! We felt like VIP. Alvaro made booking our shuttle back to the airport the easiest process. I fully recommend booking this shuttle.

A big adventure park about 10-15 minutes from Jaco beach. Staff was accommodating even after a big storm. The adventure park was challenging and so much fun! The waterfall was refreshing and such a good time

My friends and I were able to get this as a private tour, just the 3 of us. That was awesome. We rode the ATVs all over, down to a waterfall, onto a part of the beach that was secluded. It was one of the best times of the whole trip. Definitely recommend this excursion for anyone thinking about ATVing in Jaco Beach.

Randall was great he was very informative about Costa Rica and treated the drive like a tour instead of just a drive. We even stopped to see a popular spot for crocodiles on the way to Jaco. Overall a great experience !! Would totally recommend.

Marco was an excellent tour guide. Jaco Falls was pretty cool. So much to see and we even saw Monkeys.

The ATV tour is one of the best activities to do in Jaco. Seeing the waterfall and riding up the mountain was unforgettable and the views are surreal.

Amazing waterfalls and the best zip line that myself and everyone has ever been on! I recommend this course over any other! It's worth the drive from Jaco, Daniel , Jose and the rest of the crew were phenomenal Pura Vida!

The waterfall tour was amazing- we had so much fun! This tour was the highlight of our Costa Rica trip, and we would highly recommend it to other travelers/explorers. Our tour guide was professional and knowledgeable, making the trip safe, fun, and educational. Would definitely choose this tour company again, if ever in the Jaco area.

We were staying in Esterillos so we selected this tour starting in Jaco. That made for a long day and a lot of driving for our guide, Juan. Juan was excellent! He gave us information and tips about everything we passed. He stopped when we needed to and took care of us completely at all the tour stops. The highways in CR can be maddening and we were so grateful to have Juan rather than making that trek on our own. The waterfall was amazing. The volcano was awe inspiring. And, our time at the hot springs was a great way to end the tour before heading home.

This excursion was so much fun. We had super guides with exceptional driving skills! They were kind and very informative and we enjoyed their knowledge of Costa Rica. The views were stunning and the highlight was swimming under the falls in the cool pool. The lunch was amazing and delicious! A great place to stop and enjoy the view while eating authentic local food. This is a four hour tour and worked well for seniors like us. We got to see more of the country. They took good care of us! Just a TIP if you’re getting picked up in Jaco. The instructions say to meet at the Al Frente Subway restaurant on Pastor Diaz. Adventure Tours is actually across the street from Subway behind the gym. They need to change their instructions on the website to avoid confusion. Have fun…we did!

Tucanes Tours has customer treatment down. Pedro picked us up at our door in a spacious, comfortable, luxury van and brought us 90 minutes south from Jaco Beach to a wonderful little cafe where we enjoyed a balanced, light breakfast. On the way to the drop in spot our guide, Marco, pointed out the diversity of Costa Rica's plants, economy, and common aspects of life in CR. I really enjoyed this aspect of the trip. The water and rafting experience were idyllic (mid-February)--we especially liked the interactions with the other rafters and guides of other boats (Nicholas). Our rafting was interrupted for a short period where we ventured off to take in an impressive water fall then we finished up with fresh fruit and liquids. A short trip back for lunch and then doorstop service from Pedro. This was the highlight of our trip--pre-teen and teenage kids loved it!

The zip line was amazing! All 10 lines and different speeds on each one. We even got to ride upside down on one. Loved Wilson and the guides. The best experience was the ATV ride and waterfalls with Israel!. He was super fun, super encouraging, we drove like bats out of hell on straightaways and went to mountain tops. The river drive to the waterfall was beautiful. He took some of the best photos of us on our trip so far. Both of these tours are a must do if you come to Herradura and Jaco.

If you do one thing in Jaco, do this tour! The experience is so exciting and well planned. Our tour guide was amazing and so knowledgeable about the local plants and each of the activities. You get a good amount of time to do each activity and hotel pickup is very convenient. The lunch provided was delicious and the view is great. This is a must do.

I was very pleased with this 1/2 day ATV Tour with Adventure Tours Costa Rica. Our group of five arrived at their facility at 8am and were warmly greeted by the bi-lingual receptionist and two bi-lingual tour guides. We quickly checked in, signed waivers, and were given a quick overview of our tour plans. Once we were ready to go the guides showed us to five nice new ATV's and helmets they already had ready to go for us. After a quick safety briefing we were off to a nice trip through town and then up through the rainforest/rural area around Jaco. After stopping by a few waterfalls and other beautiful scenic spots for some pictures we stopped for a break and had a delicious lunch at a Tilapia farm. Very nice people, great food chicken/steak/pork chop plus extras and a great, quiet atmosphere there! Once lunch was finished we headed back to Jaco the way we came. I recommend this trip, it was alot of fun and a great way to see the Costa Rica scenery. My only compliant was that they wanted a deposit of 1000 for 1-4 ATV's and then another 1000 for any additional 1-4 ATV's. Since we had a group of five I had to put a 2000 deposit down for the five ATV's. We did not have any damage on our ATV's so the entire 2000 was refunded when we returned to the facility at the end of the day and it has already posted to my account so I am fine but I wish this was better explained up front so it was not a surprise the day of. On another note, I used this same outfit to book a private surfing lesson later in our trip and was very pleased with that excursion as well. I recommend using Adventure Tours Costa Rica for scheduling your fun plans in the Jaco area. I will use them again if I make it back to the Jaco area in the future.
