Full day experience is worth it! - Worth every penny. The full day experience. They treated us like gold. We'll organized. Our concierge Marc, was great. Helpful, polite and very informative. Shout out to the zip line crew, Jose Luis, and "Riding Bull" took such good care of our group. The lunch we had also exceeded expectations.

Such a wholesome, enjoyable time! - The Teekisia package at Ponderosa Adventure Park was amazing. We started off zip lining, with the last one taking you right over the waterfall. Next we went on the safari, where we got to see antelope, crocodiles and wildebeest, feed and pet the zebras, giraffes, watusi cows, and other animals. We had lunch afterwards, which is included. After lunch we went horseback riding with a guide who asks if you want an easy route or difficult route (we went with the harder one, still easy for a first-time rider), during which he provided factoids about Costa Rica while we had a nice view point of the continental divide and volcanoes in the distance. After horseback riding, we spent time at the waterfall before ending our day with tubing down the river. I’d definitely do this again if/when I’m in Costa Rica because it was just a wholesome, enjoyable time interacting with not only the employees you encounter but also other families you meet on the different activities, especially the safari.

Fun safe adventures - Feeding the giraffes and zebras was really fun! They come right up to the open sided truck and staff has instructed us how to hold the carrots for safety. Ziplining was great! I was a first timer at age 67 and felt very safe. The only challenging part for me was all the stairs. Last was tubing about 20 minutes down a gentle river. Guides went with us in case we got hung up. Again, fun and safe activity.

Safari Tour Alone - our family highly recommend to just book the safari tour and not the Pondersa full day pass (it’s not worth it) but Safari Tour alone is the highlight and if you want an add on activity the zip line they have 4 canopies and the last one you cross over a waterfall. Otherwise it’s not organized like the other tours we went. The concierge just ask us which activity we want next and then they just tell us to go. We didn’t get to do horseback riding or the lazy river tubing because when we went and hike down the concierge said the tubing guys would be waiting for us but no one was there and we waited for 20mins at the start of the tubing spot. We just hiked back up and left the property.
