Best company - don’t hesitate and book now
As avid and experienced travelers, we know that we can spend more time on planning and logistical nightmares then just partnering with a local We contacted the owner through a mutual friend as a private transportation to and from the airport as well as excursions. To my delightful surprise, the vehicles were really nice and they offered to help book our excursions. We booked the trip just the week before and didn’t get a chance to confirm our outings. They’ve made great relationships with local companies and take care of everything for you. We did an ATV tour through the jungle and beaches, ziplining, and a half day white water rafting tour. We joked our trip was Costa Rica light, because there’s so much to do and see. We had lounge days in between. We didn’t get a chance to hike around the volcanos and see more waterfalls. We will definitely go next time and contact this team. I won’t be going to CR without working this this team. Thank you Goose, Allan, and David José. We appreciate your guidance, keeping us safe, making the drives easier for this easily-motion-sick person, and being always prompt. You guys made this just that much easier for us to focus on hanging together and enjoying CR without spending a lot of time on logistics. I really appreciated that. We didn’t take many photos, because we were too busy experiencing CR!
Response from the operator: Dear Christine, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the adventure and services coupled with the breathtaking views of the lush jungle and pristine beaches. We’re glad that our team could make your trip more enjoyable and stress-free. Goose, Allan, and David José are indeed gems who go above and beyond to ensure our guests have a memorable experience. Did you know that Costa Rica is home to five active volcanoes and countless waterfalls? It’s a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. We’re looking forward to showing you these natural wonders on your next visit. Your kind words are gretly appreciated and we are excited to welcoming you back to explore more of what Costa Rica has to offer. Best regards,

Incredible Tour Guide Experience!
We just returned from a 10 day trip to Costa Rica that we scheduled last minute due to our trip to Brazil being cancelled. Words cannot express how thankful I am for Heiner and Hex. THEY WERE AMAZING. Scheduling a last minute trip to a country we hadn’t been to before could have been a very stressful experience. Fortunately, I was connected with Heiner and Hex two days before my trip. They personally coordinated all of my transportation (from San Jose to Arenal to Tamarindo to Manuel Antonio). They literally did it all. The had great drivers that were safe, educational, flexible and fun. I sent them multiple texts per day with questions. They were VERY responsive (within seconds) and did amazing jobs scheduling trips for us (rafting, tours, and surfing) and recommending restaurants and hotels. They did it all. Here’s one example of many that reflects their personal touch. My teenage kids left electronics in the van after we traveled from Arenal to Tamarindo. Heiner personally drove an hour to pick up my kid’s electronics and then brought them to us at our hotel (the day after Christmas when he should have been with his family). Who goes out of their way like that for a customer? Truly amazing. Again, this is just one example of many. My trip to Costa Rica would have been a much different experience without the help of Heiner and Hex. They are more than tour guides, they are a personal concierge that are passionate about making sure your visit to Costa Rica is successful. I will refer all my friends and family to this team. They truly are world class. Words cannot express how grateful I am. THEY made sure we had an amazing experience in Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
Response from the operator: Jeff we are so happy to hear that we helped your family quickly shift to the Pura Vida vacation experience! Thank you so much for your kind words. Also, we really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us — and yes Heiner is truly a gem to have leading our team! We count ourselves lucky for getting to work with you and your family, and look forward to working with you again on your next trip to Costa Rica! Pura Vida, Hex & Heiner

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Waterfall Discovery & Zipline Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tamarindo.
How much does Waterfall Discovery & Zipline Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $192 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tamarindo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Waterfall Discovery & Zipline Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Tamarindo is not rushed.
Is Waterfall Discovery & Zipline Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tamarindo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Waterfall Discovery & Zipline 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 Waterfall Discovery & Zipline Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Waterfall Discovery & Zipline Adventure?
+
Around 1 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 Tamarindo 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 Tamarindo and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Waterfall Discovery & Zipline 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 Tamarindo 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 Tamarindo?
+
On Outty we rank every Tamarindo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Surf Lesson in Tamarindo - Stand Up or Your Money Back!, Sunset Catamaran & Snorkeling Tour in Playa Flamingo, Fundive Catalina Islands (2 dives, only for certified divers). 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 Tamarindo?
+
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 Tamarindo?
+
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 Waterfall Discovery & Zipline Adventure?
+
Included: Private transportation; Lunch time- waiting time and restaurante recommendations (lunch not included); Bottled water; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Binoculars for animal watching throughout your journey. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 147 listed pickup locations in and around Tamarindo. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Waterfall Discovery & Zipline Adventure 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 Waterfall Discovery & Zipline Adventure?
+
