Top Playa Hermosa Full-day Tours

"The Hacienda hotel staff were very helpful with the timing and all activities. My representative from Native Way wasn't as helpful. It felt as if we only ran into him and he updated us then. Luckily there was no need since the staff at the hotel ran the day themselves."

"Our guide Gabriele was amazing would recommend him 100 percent, best part swimming in the waterfall and seeing the monkeys in the forest."

"Norman made this trip so worthwhile! He shared extensive information about Costa Rica, the people, culture, food, and history. He was attentive for what we wanted to see and learn about. That made all the difference in the world!"

"The guide we had on the nature hike and waterfall was excellent. We saw mud and hot springs around the volcano and got to swim in a secluded waterfall. Water was very cold but very therapeutic. We had a lunch buffet at the restaurant in the park and then went to the hot spring pools for more therapy. Wonderful Day!"

"It was an amazing day for our family! The kids (9 years old and 12) loved the thrill and adventure. Thank you"

"Nature walk with hanging bridges. Freddy was a very knowledgeable guide. Will recommend this activity as a must do in Costa Rica"

"Have worked with this tour company before and they always do a good job. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and know their craft."

"The day was perfect. The crew were incredible helpful. I highly recommend this. Thank you to all involved"

"Fantastic experience with Native Way semi-private surf lesson. We were a 5-person group and Patsy was a great teacher. Very patient and invested in everyone catching a wave! Easy to find location with nearby parking. Lesson was prompt."

"The excursion was great but the snorkeling could have been better. Only seen one fish. But the staff was outstanding and the boat was very clean and all and all a great experience."

"Tour guide was very nice and helpful. Had a blast. It was a nice adventure. I would recomend it to others."

"Wonderful time! Great boat, great crew. Snorkeling was a bit mediocre but fun all around. Food served was good and the drinks were flowing."

"Such a great experience! Pepito (the owner) and Alejandro (our guide) were both amazing. They gave us great information about everything we saw along the way. We learned so much about the region and the culture too. We saw all the animals we had expected to see... crocodiles, iguanas, monkeys, etc."

"I took my sister to Costa Rica for her 50th Birthday. We decided to take a tour on the ATV's and it was so much fun. The ATV's have plenty of power and the trails were fun and invigorating. It was a great way to spend our morning and also see a lot of the beautiful scenery around the area. The puddles were fun too."

"Perfect pick up, wonderful tour from expert guide. The tour started early which was great because we were the first group at all of the stops. Highly recommend stopping at the first waterfall site along the way to the volcano. If you love nature and new hiking experiences, I highly recommend this tour and tour company. Also, lunch was fantastic and they cater to special diets if you need that."

"Zip line through the jungle so awesome, exhilarating and breathtaking my first bucket list check, so peaceful and refreshing"

"Carlos was an amazing tour guide! Very knowledgeable about the rainforest …and actually everything on the excursion 😊."

"Our tour guide Ernesto was amazing!!! The rapids were exhilarating and the zip lining was above our expectations! Highly recommend!"

"Was a great experience, Steven and Antonio were great . This defines a must when in Costa Rica. The atmosphere and Arua around the place was so zen and incredibly."

"Seeing the sloths and unusual species. Some amazing photos on my camera. Not my phone. Howler monkeys, how much noise. Capuchin monkeys. Great guide. And a lovely meal in middle of the day. Would recommend this trip to all."

"We had an excellent time on this tour. Our guide Carlos picked us up exactly on time, at 6(!), because it's a ~4 hour drive to Monteverde. Along the way we stopped for a very tasty traditional breakfast. Be prepared for some bumps, because the road to Monteverde, especially as you get close, is very bad, it's basically just a chain of potholes! This tour includes 3 guided tours within the Selvatura Park which is in Monteverde. Butterflies, Reptiles, and the Nature Walk with the 8 hanging bridges. It was a rare sunny day when we went, but it was still ~10degF cooler than the plains. The nature walk with the hanging bridges was the most fun, and we had an excellent guide who knew a lot about the plants, trees and birds. We didn't see any animals. The butterflies and reptiles exhibits were also very informative. The guides are enthusiastic and knowledgeable. On the drive back we stopped for another excellent meal, a late lunch of traditional Costa Rican food. All in all a great day! It's a long day, but mostly because the drive there and back takes ~ 8 hours. Well worth the time! 5 stars!!"

"Our tour guide’s name was Francisco and he was amazing!! He did everything he could to make sure our tour was phenomenal. We hiked to the waterfall, ate fresh pineapple and coconut water, tubed down the blue river, visited a sloth sanctuary and had a delicious meal. A day we will never forget!"

"Great trip! We have seen a lot of animals, monkeys, alligators and birds. Our guide Rafael was amazing. Best experience!"
