Great excursion with something for everyone
My daughter's favorite activity of the entire trip was horseback riding. The horses were very sweet and great for inexperienced riders. The zip lining was amazing. All the gear was in great shape. We loved the exhilaration of the water slide. My son was disappointed he wasn't allowed to go down it since he had just had knee surgery 6 weeks ago, but we understand from a liability aspect. Everyone was so polite and helpful.

Extraordinary Tour
My friends and I booked this combo months ago, our guide Rainer was very punctual and fun. He guided us along the way to some important aspects and stories. The activities were of a high level, the staff was very friendly and professional. We enjoyed the tour very much and I would like to recommend this tour for all people who like to enjoy the beauty of Costa Rica.

Awesome adventure in Costa Rica
The activities were super fun and exciting. The staff were very caring and helpful. They made the experience a great one. Unfortunately, during the waterslide activity, I ended up flipping over on the slide and hitting my forehead. It's a very difficult slide that requires a lot of concentration and too much water can take the slide from exciting to dangerous. The staff were very accomodating and showed concern. Overall, I would still recommend this company and the activities minus the slide (do this at your own risk). The waterfalls and natural springs are awesome.

Viator driver with potential covid - no help from Viator
Our Costa Rica tour involved an approximate 1.5 - 2 hour drive each way to the tour location. It became apparent during the drive that the driver was not well. He was displaying symptoms including: sniffing, clearing his throat, attempting to hide a cough and taking multiple Halls cough drops. I asked him directly if he was sick but didn't get a direct response. As as we were traveling through rural Costa Rica we had no real choice but to complete the tour. Upon completion of the tour we called the local operator and spoke to a gentleman who said he ran operations. He was unaware of the status of the driver but said he would find out. He called us back and said that the driver was vaccinated and did not have a temperature and aggressively asserted that the driver was not unwell. His explanation for the cough drops was that he himself took them when he was not unwell. He agreed to give the driver a covid test and call me back the next day with the results. He never did. Today my children got sick (covid test pending). I called the operator and he hung up on me and calls are no long being answered. I've now called Viator help line, explained the situation, they have tried to contact the operator who is now non responsive. As it stands I've been told a response time from Viator is 7-10 days and I'm currently attempting to get this escalated for some actual attention from someone at the comany.
Response from the operator: Customer did not experience this tours , Fraude or competitor review us.. viator to tripadvisor have not been of great help in investigating and verifying that these fraudulent comments have not done the activity with our company, so they leave the comment as such and do not help to remove it

Buena vista Vandara Hot spring Mega combo Tour From Playa Flamingo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Hermosa.
How much does Buena vista Vandara Hot spring Mega combo Tour From Playa Flamingo cost?
+
Prices start at $206 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 Buena vista Vandara Hot spring Mega combo Tour From Playa Flamingo take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Buena vista Vandara Hot spring Mega combo Tour From Playa Flamingo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 12 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 Buena vista Vandara Hot spring Mega combo Tour From Playa Flamingo?
+
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 Buena vista Vandara Hot spring Mega combo Tour From Playa Flamingo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Buena vista Vandara Hot spring Mega combo Tour From Playa Flamingo?
+
Around 4 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Buena vista Vandara Hot spring Mega combo Tour From Playa Flamingo 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.
