Adventure Awaits - Our driver, Jose, was friendly, informative and took good care of my daughter and I on this long, but fun-filled day of adventure. He told us that this was "our day" and he would shape the tour to refect our interests. Our favorite parts were the inner tubing in Class 1 and Class 2 rapids in the Rio Negra and zip-lining. The guides at the inner tubing activity were adept at herding the tubers and keeping us moving if we got caught up on a rock or stuck in an eddy. As far as ziplining, this was my 1st time and I loved it! You don't have to brake yourself because there is a system in place to slow you down. We zipped along a series of 9 different cables with an option to repel down the side of a cliff and climb back up on staple grips. You can also swing on a Tarzan rope and shout out your best Tarzan yell, followed by a traverse across a hanging bridge. By this time, we were ready for the delicious and authentic Costa Rican buffet style lunch. To end the day, we painted ourselves with volcanic mud, showered, then soaked in the geothermal pools of various temperatures from 96 deg F to 104 deg F. These waters have 7 different minerals which contribute to overall health and spirit. What a extraordinary day of activities we had!

Fantastic adventure day! - We had a fantastic all day adventure tour with Playa Grande Tours & Shuttles. Our driver, Jose, was so friendly, informative, and helpful! Picked us up right on time with a well-stocked cooler in a very comfortable shuttle, and guided us through a really fun day in Rincon de la Vieja. So much fun, wouldn’t hesitate to book more tours through them again & again. Highly recommended!!

The most fun excursion in Costa Rica! - This was an amazing excursion! The zip lines were unique and unlike | have ever experienced! Some went through a narrow canyon! Our driver Jose was the best! He made our trip top notch. He was very professional and even stopped for us to get some breakfast since it was an early pickup. If you visit Costa Rica and opt for an excursion, ask for Jose! Pura Vida!

Awesome Time - Great day long adventure. The day will proceed as follows: 1. Horse back riding 2. Tubing in the rapids 3. Lunch 4. Zip lining the canopy 5. Hot springs and mud Some hints. You don't need your phone to capture images because they provide photographers for $45. If you deem it truly necessary, bring a waterproof case to carry your phone. Also, try carrying some extra cash with you to give tips into the tip box at the end of each portion. Fun, long day. But, well worth the day away from the beach.

Great experience - Our first day we went horseback riding, zip lining, tubbing and finished at the hot springs. It was so fun!! Our guide Jose was amazing. He was very friend and so nice! He got us beers, water and other snacks. The people in Costa Rica are so nice and they try their best to make you feel comfortable and safe. I recommend the tour and Jose 100%!

Volcano National Park - 1 \ Hot Girl Tribe - 0 - Overall, my girls and I had a really fun time. It was our first time ever going horseback riding, river tubing, ziplining, and going to a hot spring. Horseback riding through the rainforest was a little scary due to the terrain being uneven. River tubing is for the thrill-seekers but forewarning you - it can be VERY DANGEROUS! Unfortunately, I had a near-death experience when the rapids flipped my tube over and I fell in. 8 ziplines and 1 Tarzan swing was a lot of fun. The hot springs is the best way to end a day full of adventure! The mud masks were amazing too.

Full day of adventure for the family - Great service from Ariel and Ronny. I accidentally booked from a hotel that wasn’t in the pick up area and we were able to work it out without issue. Ronny was our guide and was awesome. He helped our family feel completely at ease by starting with a side trip to grab some coffee/ hot cocoa. Then on our way to Rincon, we stopped to see white faced monkeys and toucans. The adventure at self was awesome. The horseback riding was super easy going which was a plus for me. The tubing probably wouldn’t be legal in the states. So much fun! And the zip lining was pretty tame till the end where you have to climb a canyon face over to a Tarzan swing. Thankfully there are staples but the kids were pretty freaked out by this. Soaking in the hot springs was a great way to end the day. Ronny was such a great guide for us. He was so easy going and very knowledgeable. I am grateful to have this experience as part of our trip to Costa Rica.

Amazing Day with Playa Grande - Ariel and Playa Grande were amazing! My group of friends had such a great time. Each activity was well planned out and so fun! We had no problems meeting our driver in the morning and he stuck with us the whole day meeting us after each activity. I can’t recommend this group enough. It was a fantastic day, definitely the highlight of our trip. We can’t wait to return and join them for another adventure!

Love this company!!! Overall amazing and reliable!!! - This was one of the best companies I’ve ever booked with. The activities were all great and the company was extremely flexible and communicative. They made our trip so much easier and very seamless. I have no complaints and would definitely book again.

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent! - We had the best time and loved every second of this tour. First off, Ariel was awesome! He was able to accommodate us and move our tour to the following day due to our luggage mistakenly taken. The tour guide, Ronny, was very friendly and professional. He picked us up, on-time, and even helped convince me and my wife to go river tubing. Our favorites were everything, but if we had to pick, definitely river tubing, ziplining, and mud bath. We cannot wait to come back to Costa Rica and we'll definitely use Playa Grande Shuttle & Tours for our excursion!
