    Great adventure.

    Great trip. We were able to zip line, meet a sloth and see a beautiful waterfall. Each destination was well organized and included great info. The lunch was so delicious. Amazing day of life long memories. I really loved the guides and the fact they took pictures throughout the day for us.

    Fun and memories

    We had such a wonderful experience with Funny Tours Costa Rica! We were a group of 12 and met the tour organizer, Erlan, on the beach at our resort. From the beginning, everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating. We had originally planned a day trip to La Leona Waterfall. A private vehicle picked all 12 of us up directly from our hotel, which made the day so convenient and comfortable. When we arrived at La Leona, however, the water level had risen so much that it was no longer safe to visit. We really appreciated that the team put our safety first and, instead of letting the day be ruined, quickly came up with a new plan for us. They took us to the beautiful Llanos de Cortés Waterfall and then to Bijagua to see the sloths. It ended up being an amazing day and one of the highlights of our trip! A special thank you to Erlan, Eliezer, and everyone else who helped organize and take care of our group. Coordinating a private tour for 12 people isn't always easy, especially when plans have to change unexpectedly, but they handled everything so smoothly and made sure we had a great experience. We would absolutely recommend Funny Tours Costa Rica to anyone looking for a private, flexible, and personalized tour. Thank you for such a memorable day in Costa Rica! 🇨🇷❤️

    A memorial experience

    Hands down, one the best experiences we have had.!! Our driver Javier and guide Emanuel were awesome in providing us with directions and knowledge of Costa Rica. Having spent most of the day with our driver and guide, you can get a sense of the dedication and pride they have for their country. I would recommend this tour if you want an intimate experiences in this country. Thank you Emanuel and Javier. You hade some great memories for us. Keep up the good work.

    Volcano - 2026

    It was a surprise that pickup was not in front of the hotel - instead you have to walk all the way to the gate. Apart from that, the very thing went as planned and Humberto our guide depending on his mood was explaining what he could about the sites and general Costa Rica.

    Guanacaste Rainforest Safari with Meal: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Guanacaste Rainforest Safari with Meal 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 Guanacaste Rainforest Safari with Meal take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Guanacaste Rainforest Safari with Meal worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 65 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 Guanacaste Rainforest Safari with Meal?

    +

    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 Guanacaste Rainforest Safari with Meal suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Guanacaste Rainforest Safari with Meal?

    +

    Around 23 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Guanacaste Rainforest Safari with Meal 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 Guanacaste Rainforest Safari with Meal?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Lunch; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Guanacaste Rainforest Safari with Meal include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 14 listed pickup locations in and around Playa Hermosa. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Guanacaste Rainforest Safari with Meal offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Guanacaste Rainforest Safari with Meal?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Guanacaste Rainforest Safari with Meal wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Guanacaste Rainforest Safari with Meal if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Playa Hermosa. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
