Best couples adventure we’ve ever had
Our experience was the best adventure travel experience we’ve ever had as a couple. Our guy’s name was Fernando and he was amazing. Our hotel would not get us dinner reservations. It was our anniversary so he went the extra mile and booked us a beautiful restaurant down the street and then picked us up and took us home after our reservation. The coffee tour with a guy named Andres was amazing and we did a rainforest walk and the guy was climbing through the bushes to help us find wildlife and get good photos. Highly recommend five stars or more all the way.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! ❤️ We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable adventure with us and that we could help make your anniversary extra special. Fernando and Andrés will be delighted to know how much you enjoyed their service and the experiences they shared with you. Creating unforgettable memories for our guests is what we love most! Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back to Costa Rica for another amazing adventure soon! 🌿☕🐒✨ Warm regards, On The Beach Tours Team

Fabulous waterfalls and more.
Faboulous! Abraham and Martín provided everything we needed for a great trip. The horseback ride was fun. The waterfalls were amazing. And the mud bath and hot springs were relaxing. Lunch was filling and tasty! Wonderful day!

Fun, informative and flavourful
We had a great time with Martem and Ricardo! We found Ricardo knowledgeable and informative. We were only 4 in our group which made it so much more enjoyable as we got close to the other group members. The coffee and chocolate tour was interesting. The lunch that was provided was very good. We suggest to eat a good breakfast before the day. When we booked, the person told us we wouldn’t need pants for our excursion , but we think we would have felt less vulnerable to the mosquitoes had we had pants. Other than that, the experience was a great one!

Why this scores 89
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rainforest and Waterfall Tour with Chocolate and Coffee: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Flamingo.
How much does Rainforest and Waterfall Tour with Chocolate and Coffee cost?
+
Prices start at $220 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 Rainforest and Waterfall Tour with Chocolate and Coffee take?
+
Plan for about 9.2 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 Rainforest and Waterfall Tour with Chocolate and Coffee worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 113 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Playa Flamingo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rainforest and Waterfall Tour with Chocolate 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 Rainforest and Waterfall Tour with Chocolate and Coffee suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rainforest and Waterfall Tour with Chocolate and Coffee?
+
Around 40 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 9.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rainforest and Waterfall Tour with Chocolate 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.
