Jose is the best! - We had an absolutely amazing time. Jose, our guide, was perfect with our kids. They were attracted to his friendliness and information right away. He was our driver for another excursion as well. He truly made our experience phenomenal. The refreshing swim in the waterfall was such a treat in the clear blue water. Overall this was a unique experience that all ages of our group enjoyed.

Best day ever! - This was one of the most amazing tours we have taken. The hike was a little strenuous but seeing the waterfall and swimming in the lagoon made the effort worth it. Our driver Jose was very professional and our tour guide Cezar was hilarious! Would definitely do this tour again!

1st time Amazing Experience! Amazing Jose!! - This was our first trip with Playa Grande Shuttle and Adventures and it was so good we booked another trip with them 4 days later. What made it was our guide Jose! He was right no time at 6 am both days we went! On this day we had no idea what to expect. Jose got us Liberia and helped us order some breakfast first and told us all about Costa Rica. Then we hiked through Rincon De La Villeja National Park or the Volcano. While we were there Jose told us about the volcano and it was awesome! Even better was the Iguana we saw. Jose showed us a pic of the Boa snake he saw a couple days before. Then on our way out we saw a family of Spider Monkeys that he spotted for us and that was awesome. Then we swam in the waterfall which was very refreshing and Jose showed a lot of patience with us as we took our time in the Hot Springs! Finally, our lunch was incredible and finally he got us a couple of souvenirs at the shop when we were on our way home and we will keep those to remember him by no doubt. The experience was so good we booked another trip with Playa Grande and Jose 4 days later! We could not recommend this group and Jose highly enough! Just amazing!!!

The team at Playa Grande helped us put together a fantastic retreat! - The team at Playa Grande took great care of our large group and our ever changing needs and bookings! We were there for a yoga retreat and Playa Grande took care of all our airport transfers, excursions, and even our grocery shopping! Communication was easy, and they were very pleasant to deal with. Highly recommend!

One of the most epic days of my life! - Magical. Majestic. Dreamy. An unforgettable, core memory experience, and also one of the more adventurous days of my life. All words and phrases to help describe the experience that my husband and I had during our personalized guided hike with Playa Grande tours in Costa Rica. It was a 10/10 experience, and I could have not asked for more from our Playa Grande tour guide and also the super fun, infectious-spirited gentlemen, Cesar, who lead us our trek through the rainforest, to the breathtaking La Leona waterfall. Please note my husband and I are very fit and active so Cesar took us on a harder route, but he will customize the route for all fitness levels. On our personalized hike, we swam through rivers, cliff-jumped, climbed through small crevices in the rocks because we wanted to immerse ourselves in the Pura Vida experience. So, if you are physically fit, or even just moderately fit, request the adventurous route. If not, he will adjust the hike to your level, so do not worry! After the hike, we had a delicious local lunch and one of our favorite meals of the trip, and ended the hike with a trip to the most beautiful natural hot springs deep in the rainforest. The vibe and energy was unmatched. If you are eyeing this tour and reading this review, please trust me. BOOK THIS.

Absolutely the best! - Ariel and his team are absolutely the best! Friendly, punctual and incredibly helpful. We arranged for transportation to and from San Jose to our Vrbo house. They helped us plan our daily outings from waterfall hikes to sunset sail on a yacht. Our trip wouldn’t have been as smooth without Playa Grande Shuttles and Tours. Thank you so much!

Wonderful time! - Wonderful hike! Guides were friendly and knowledgeable and the waterfalls were gorgeous, we had an awesome time!

Great trip and great tour group - Very professional and friendly and most of all patient with us as we tried to make plans with 14 people in our group. Highly recommend this tour group.

Amazing time - If you don’t hire this company you are probably nuts. This was the best decision of my life. I am a better man because of this. We hung out with an incredible guy named Jose. He drove us there and hiked with us. Added so much to the trip. Amazing guy. Overall the highlight of the trip. Great company

The BEST experience with Playa Grande Shuttle and Tours!! - I just came back from a weeklong trip in Costa Rica, and had the most AMAZING time because of Playa Grande Shuttle and Tours! I genuinely I had the greatest experience with this company. I found them through TripAdvisor and reached out to the manager Ariel through WhatsApp. He called me back right away, learned about the activities I was interested in, and set up a personalized tour of Costa Rica for me. I was able to do everything that I wanted to do — zip lining, horseback riding, waterfall hikes, trying the local cuisine, visiting Tabacón, sailing, the list goes on. My tour guide was José and he was so genuine, kind, and warm. He made me feel so welcome and at home in Costa Rica. I miss him already! If you’re looking for high quality experiences, at fair prices, with genuine people, look no further. You won’t regret it. I cannot say enough great things about this company. Pura vida and thank you so very much!
