    Waterfall Tour!! 10/10

    Carlos Rodriguez arranged the tour for my family and I as well as our friends! Everything was beautiful, especially the waterfall! Rafael gave a lot of history and insight into the city and things we saw along the way during the tour such as trees, insects, fruit, etc. He was very knowledgeable and informative. Our driver Gersan got us to our destinations safely including a local restaurant where we all ate together! Rafael helped us order our food due to the language barrier as well. We enjoyed our tour so much and will only book with Carlos should we return to Costa Rica! Please book with him for all your tour needs!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure helping you and your family create such a memorable day in Costa Rica. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the waterfalls, the local experience, and that Rafael and Gersan took such great care of your group throughout the tour. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to us and motivate us to keep providing the best possible service. We sincerely appreciate your trust in Costa Rica Expedition Tours and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure. Pura Vida! 🇨🇷 Carlos Rodríguez

    Guanacaste Wonders Sloths Waterfalls and Coffee: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Guanacaste Wonders Sloths Waterfalls and Coffee 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 Flamingo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Guanacaste Wonders Sloths Waterfalls and Coffee 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 Flamingo is not rushed.

    Is Guanacaste Wonders Sloths Waterfalls and Coffee worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa Flamingo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Guanacaste Wonders Sloths Waterfalls and Coffee?

    +

    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 Wonders Sloths Waterfalls and Coffee 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 Wonders Sloths Waterfalls and Coffee?

    +

    Around 5 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 Flamingo 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 Flamingo and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Guanacaste Wonders Sloths Waterfalls and Coffee 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 Flamingo 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 Flamingo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Playa Flamingo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Flamingo, Guanacaste All Inclusive Catamaran Snorkel Adventure, Adventure Pass, Playa Flamingo Catamaran Tour with Snorkel, Lunch, Cocktails. 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 Flamingo?

    +

    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 Flamingo?

    +

    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 Wonders Sloths Waterfalls and Coffee?

    +

    Included: Transportation round trip from your hotel; Bug spray; Cooler with bottles of waters; Typical lunch; and Certified tour guide. Not included: Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Guanacaste Wonders Sloths Waterfalls and Coffee include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 166 listed pickup locations in and around Playa Flamingo. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Guanacaste Wonders Sloths Waterfalls and Coffee 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 Wonders Sloths Waterfalls and Coffee?

    +

    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 Wonders Sloths Waterfalls and Coffee wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Guanacaste Wonders Sloths Waterfalls and Coffee if the weather is bad?

    +
