Best Costa Rica tour!!
We met Big Papi right near the beach by Planet Hollywood and signed up for the jet ski tour with Ramiro. Super easy to get into the jet skis from the beach right at the resort. We went to the caves, snorkeling and to the mangroves. Ramiro was the nicest and took us to the best spots! It was our favorite excursion of our trip and an amazing way to end our week. Thank you so much!!! I recommend everyone take the tour
Response from the operator: Hi Sandra, Thank you so much for your kind words! Big Papi is very happy to hear that your Jet Ski adventure was the highlight of your trip. We truly appreciate your support, and I’ll make sure Ramiro sees your wonderful feedback. We hope to welcome you back to Costa Rica soon!

Excellence Abroad
We went on three separate tours with Carlos Rodriguez’ guides- the guides were WONDERFUL! When we finished each ( Waterfalls/Rainforest, Jetski, and Offshore fishing) we had a camera roll on whats app free of charge. His guides are better photographers than most. Special thanks to Eliezar, Rafa and Beto. They became part of our family and we look forward to visiting each of them on future trips back. This is a SOLID BUSINESS with very conscientious employees that add humor and happiness to their competence and thoroughness. Pura Vida!
Response from the operator: Dear Jay, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for trusting Costa Rica Expedition Tours with not just one, but three different adventures during your visit to Costa Rica. It means a great deal to hear that you enjoyed your Waterfalls & Rainforest Tour, Jet Ski Adventure, and Offshore Fishing Trip. We are especially grateful for your kind words about Eliezar, Rafa, and Beto. They are passionate about what they do, and knowing they helped create unforgettable memories for your family is the greatest reward we could receive. We believe that every tour should be more than just an excursion—it should be a genuine experience filled with adventure, personal connections, and lasting memories. We are delighted that our complimentary photos and videos helped capture those special moments for you. Thank you for recognizing the dedication, professionalism, and enthusiasm of our team. Your support means the world to our local family business, and we truly look forward to welcoming you back to Costa Rica in the future. Until then, we wish you and your family safe travels and many more great adventures ahead. Pura Vida, Carlos Rodriguez Owner Costa Rica Expedition Tours 🇨🇷

Jetski Tour Gulf of Papagayo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Flamingo.
How much does Jetski Tour Gulf of Papagayo cost?
+
Prices start at $236 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 Jetski Tour Gulf of Papagayo take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Jetski Tour Gulf of Papagayo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Jetski Tour Gulf of Papagayo?
+
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 Jetski Tour Gulf of Papagayo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Jetski Tour Gulf of Papagayo?
+
Around 3 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Jetski Tour Gulf of Papagayo 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 Jetski Tour Gulf of Papagayo?
+
Included: Tour guide; Life jacket; Dry bag for your phones; and Safety drive test. Not included: Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Jetski Tour Gulf of Papagayo include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 7 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 Jetski Tour Gulf of Papagayo 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 Jetski Tour Gulf of Papagayo?
+
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.
What happens to Jetski Tour Gulf of Papagayo if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
