    Mega Combo a MUST!

    Beyond a perfect day! Our guide Jorge was such a joy! We combined horseback, zip lining, water falls, water slide and hot springs and mud bath. The views were incredible! We were beyond thrilled with our perfect day!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Jorge made your experience so special and that you enjoyed every part of the adventure—from horseback riding and ziplining to the waterfall, waterslide, hot springs, and mud bath. It sounds like a truly unforgettable day! We hope to welcome you back for another amazing Costa Rican adventure soon. 🌿✨

    We had so many adventures in this GORGEOUS country! Highly recommend for those looking for adventure!! Wow!

    I was one of the group leaders and I've done many group trips. The guide can "make or break" the experience and I honestly can say that Rodrego was the best tour guide I've had on a trip. His enthusiasm for Costa Rica and his knowledge of history, geography, geology, biology and local industries was very impressive! Wow! But even more importantly, he was very friendly and easy to work with every day!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful words! It fills us with joy to know you had such an amazing adventure in our beautiful Costa Rica. We couldn’t agree more — Rodrigo is an incredible guide who brings deep knowledge, contagious enthusiasm, and a true love for his country to every experience. We’re so proud to have him on our team! It means the world to us that your group had a memorable time. Thank you for recommending us — and we truly hope to welcome you back for even more pura vida adventures! 🇨🇷🌿

    CANCELED ON US WITH NO WARNING!!

    Since we're constantly being badgered about a review, here's ours: IT GOT CANCELED ON US THE MORNING OF! So no, we didn't go and to say we were pissed off is an understatement. And not because it was canceled but because we were not informed until that morning after we waited for over an hour for our ride to pick us up at the W Reserva Conchal. So yeah, stop asking us to review an experience we had with another company who came to the rescue.

    Response from the operator: Hello, We are truly sorry for the situation regarding your canceled tour. The service required a minimum number of guests to operate, and unfortunately, this was not met on the day of your booking. We acknowledge that the notice came too late, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused. As part of our apology, we provided a refund and also extended offers such as discounts and free services. We take your feedback seriously and will work on improving our communication process. Kind regards, ST Costa Rica DMC Team

    Best excursion my family has taken on any vacation!

    omg, so much fun! I never ziplined before so I was pretty excited. I didn't realize how high up it actually was lol. What a crazy feeling to be up so high zipping through the forest and being able to see it all from up there! The water slide was insane but so much fun! It's a long hike to the top but you get cooled off very quickly once you get on the slide. It's also really long so the hike was worth it. What can I say about the hot springs? It was beautiful, quiet, relaxing, clean etc. You just cannot believe these things are in the middle of a rainforest.

    Horrible

    Garbage Company. Went early to check what kind of clothes to wear. Guy behind he counter said it be storming out and it might be a risky day. We were stunned by his response and said we wanted to cancel. He said we had to come back in 30 min. We did and the new guy said that was a security guard and he doesn't work for them. I said how were we suppose to know that!! They said it was too late and we missed it and had to pay We explained the the guy we thought was their employee told us it might be risky! They didn't care. They scare people out of their tours and then make them pay. Don't use this company. They are completely unorganized and have people behind their booths that don't work for them but answer for them?!? Absolute garbage company

    Mega Combo Adventure: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Mega Combo Adventure cost?

    +

    Prices start at $250 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 Mega Combo Adventure take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Mega Combo Adventure worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 40 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 Mega Combo Adventure?

    +

    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 Mega Combo Adventure suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mega Combo Adventure?

    +

    Around 14 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mega Combo Adventure 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 Mega Combo Adventure?

    +

    Included: Professional guide; Lunch; In-vehicle air conditioning; Local taxes; and All activities. Not included: Gratuities; Souvenir photos (available to purchase); and Alcoholic drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Mega Combo Adventure include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 45 listed pickup locations in and around Playa Hermosa. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Mega Combo Adventure offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. 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 Mega Combo Adventure?

    +

    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 Mega Combo Adventure wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Mega Combo Adventure 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.

    What do travelers say about Mega Combo Adventure?

    +

    Across 40 reviews averaging 4.7 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling, good for families. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works. One thing to know: Expect real walking or climbing: reviewers mention the effort involved.
