What people are saying about Half-day Tours in Playa Hermosa

star-5
Sensoria: Luxury Rainforest Land of Senses Walking and Thermals Tour
"This tour was absolutely breathtaking! Words cannot express truly how magical the experience was. The hike to the waterfall which is the first stop is roughly 3.5 miles and is moderately difficult as you will be going up and down a lot of steps but it’s so worth it! After you see the waterfall, you then will stop at 3 pools which are breathtaking and incredibly refreshing after the hike. We purchased the private tour that comes with champagne afterwards and it was just lovely. When you’re done, they take you back to the main house for a hole cooked meal of your choice (they provide options) and some refreshing drinks. They also have a cute book to write about your experience! Our tour guide Genesis was so lovely and full of knowledge! She definitely made the tour so much more fun!"..."

Llanos del Cortez Waterfall and Coffee Tour from Guanacaste
"We were so happy with this tour! We had so much fun at Tio Leo's coffee plantation and didn't expect to get and experience all that was included in this tour. Not only did we learn about how the coffee beans are grown, but we also learned about different types of beans and coffees. Also included in this tour was empanada making, juice tasting, coffee tasting, chocolate making and tasting, a short spa treatment to exfoliate our arms, and a plantain snack. We had so much fun and learned so much. And we even got to meet Tio Leo himself! He autographed our bags of coffee and mugs that we purchased! As far as the waterfall, we actually decided to replace this portion of the tour with an authentic Costa Rican lunch after the coffee tour because we had actually visited the waterfall a few days prior, not realizing we booked it twice. The tour company was more than accommodating to grant our request. They took us to a local restaurant that served us a delicious meal that we all enjoyed. Such a fun day. We would highly recommend!!"..."
