Waterfalls, suspension bridge, rainforest, mud bath and volcanoc hot springs!
Booking this the night before didn’t disappoint us, I guess coz it’s not peak season. Coordinating and catering to our likes with Jhiompe travel tours referred by a friend of a friend was perfect. Jhiompe is very open in negotiation and suggestions. Instructions were very clear on what to bring and what to wear and pick up time is on the dot. Humberto with his side kick Andres (his junior) were both amazing. Attentive and friendly Andres got our camaradarie all through out the tour making our tour more personalized and very wholesome overall. Despite Andres’ limited English (11 years old) is his genuineness to socialize, accomodate and talk to us. He got it from his dad Humberto our main tourist here. Humberto goes above and beyond getting some otc meds for my friend who isn’t feeling better around that time and constantly checks on him. He gives us great suggestions to maximize and have an amazing waterfalls experience including swimming. The suspension bridge, hiking rainforest and more waterfalls are all amazing. And after all the walks is the relaxing best part of experiencing the mud baths and volcano hot springs. Ofc this is very much well ended feeding us with authentic savory Costa Rican lunch. On our way home, we got the chance to stop by and buy souvenirs. This experience is far beyond great words to tell. Gracias Humberto and eres el mejor guia turistica Andres! Good luck and God bless you both. Pura Vida!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful and detailed review! It truly means a lot to us to know that you had such a memorable experience in Costa Rica. I’m especially happy to hear your kind words about Humberto and his son Andres. Humberto always goes the extra mile to make our guests feel comfortable and well taken care of, and it’s wonderful to see Andres sharing that same passion at such a young age. Our goal is always to provide more than just a tour — we want every guest to feel welcomed, safe, and part of our Costa Rican family. Thank you again for your trust and for recognizing the effort our team puts into every experience. We hope to welcome you back to Costa Rica someday for another unforgettable adventure! Pura Vida! 🌿🇨🇷 Carlos Rodríguez Costa Rica Expedition Tours

Wonderful Private Tour
Wonderful tour #2 booked with Carlos he was wonderful and Javier our driver was so great. He took us to local spots to try local food and shopping. He was so knowledgeable and happy to drive us where we needed to go. So worth doing the private tour of Waterfall, vulcano and Rainforest.

Waterfalls & hanging bridges and sloths: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Hermosa.
How much does Waterfalls & hanging bridges and sloths cost?
+
Prices start at $195 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 Waterfalls & hanging bridges and sloths take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Waterfalls & hanging bridges and sloths worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 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 Waterfalls & hanging bridges and sloths?
+
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 Waterfalls & hanging bridges and sloths suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Waterfalls & hanging bridges and sloths?
+
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 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Waterfalls & hanging bridges and sloths 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 Waterfalls & hanging bridges and sloths?
+
Included: Icebox with water; Entrance fees; Lunch; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Professional Guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Waterfalls & hanging bridges and sloths include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 108 listed pickup locations in and around Playa Hermosa. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Waterfalls & hanging bridges and sloths 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 Waterfalls & hanging bridges and sloths?
+
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 Waterfalls & hanging bridges and sloths 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.
