    Awesome experience!

    This tour was the highlight of our Costa Rica trip! We started with a fun 15-minute group horseback ride to the zip-lining course, which was a great way to ease into the adventure. The zip lines were a great adrenaline rush, and the giant waterslide was just plain fun. Our guide, Bernard, was amazing—so friendly, outgoing, and full of interesting facts about the local culture. He went above and beyond to take pictures for everyone and made sure the day flowed smoothly. Our favorite part was relaxing in the natural hot springs and covering ourselves in warm volcanic mud—it felt like a true Costa Rican spa experience in the middle of nature. The traditional sugarcane processing was a fun cultural touch, and lunch was tasty and perfectly timed. Having hotel pickup and drop-off made the whole day seamless. If you're looking for a full day of fun, culture, and relaxation, this tour has it all. Be sure to ask for Bernard—he made the experience unforgettable!

    Wonderful adventure with knowledgeable kind people who treated us like family.

    We were picked up at our hotel exactly as planned and seven of us were taken by Randy to horses where we did a wonderful horseback ride. One of our group of seven did not ride but chose to walk along the beach with Randy to where the horses returned. There was a wonderful beach there and the kids swam for about an hour and then we all went and had a nice lunch in a local lunch place. We explored a little bit of the area with Randy and he was very helpful by explaining lots of things about the area and he stopped at a store because we wanted to pick up a few things that were not available at the resort. I would highly recommend calling this company if you need anything. They don’t just do horseback riding tours, but they do just about anything you can think of to be helpful to anyone who comes to this area and wants to explore. We have Randy’s contact information and we will definitely call the next time we come to the area.

    Great ziplining experience

    The ziplining was the best. I hadn’t done this in several years and it was perfect. The lunch was incredible and also the waterslide. Our tour guide Johnny was the best. He was helpful and informative and very friendly..

    Adventure Tour Hot Springs, Ziplining, Water Slide & Cultural: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Hermosa.

    How much does Adventure Tour Hot Springs, Ziplining, Water Slide & Cultural cost?

    +

    Prices start at $190 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa Hermosa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Adventure Tour Hot Springs, Ziplining, Water Slide & Cultural take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Playa Hermosa is not rushed.

    Is Adventure Tour Hot Springs, Ziplining, Water Slide & Cultural worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa Hermosa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Adventure Tour Hot Springs, Ziplining, Water Slide & Cultural?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Adventure Tour Hot Springs, Ziplining, Water Slide & Cultural suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Adventure Tour Hot Springs, Ziplining, Water Slide & Cultural?

    +

    Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Playa Hermosa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Playa Hermosa and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Adventure Tour Hot Springs, Ziplining, Water Slide & Cultural start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Playa Hermosa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Playa Hermosa?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Playa Hermosa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include La Leona waterfall adventure hike half day, White Water River Rafting Class III-IV from La Fortuna-Arenal, Guachipelin Zipline, River Tubing, Horseback Ride, Hot springs & Lunch Combo. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Playa Hermosa?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Playa Hermosa?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Adventure Tour Hot Springs, Ziplining, Water Slide & Cultural?

    +

    Included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Adventure Tour Hot Springs, Ziplining, Water Slide & Cultural include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Adventure Tour Hot Springs, Ziplining, Water Slide & Cultural offered in?

    +
