10/10 - We stayed at the Occidental Tamarindo and booked with Side by Side for the volcano hike and the waterfall! We worked with Leo and Douglas to book and they were very informative and helped me and my husband to help us narrow down what my husband and I wanted to do in Costa Rica during our stay. Our tour guide during the hike, Edgar, was incredible as well. We saw so much wild life. Edgar was very patient with us, explained so much to us about Costa Rica and the animals we saw. Edgar knew so much about the animals, plants, and the volcano. He was so great! 10/10 can’t wait to come back see you guys again Pura Vida

Boys on the beach at Occidental Tamarindo know how to do it right!!! - This was an amazing excursion. The guys knew exactly what we wanted and made sure we got exactly what we needed. Highly recommend booking through. Happy to have these guys offering amazing experiences! We also booked Rio Celeste and it was just as fantastic!

Great Experience - Great experience! Waterfall was beautiful great little hike up to the top. Also did the Sloth Sanctuary & Lunch. Willy our driver was amazing very knowledgeable and friendly. Had a wonderful day with him! Sloth tour was more than we expected. Up close and personal with my favorite creatures. Lunch was delicious at a local restaurant! Would book with Side By Side again. Thank you for putting it all together and the communication Leo!

Wonderful day at Rincon de Vieja National Park. - Our guide, Edgar was great. He was fluent in English, knowledgeable about the wildlife & passionate about the environment we were in. The park was beautiful - so many different species of trees, bushes & flowers; spider monkeys, beautiful butterflies & birds. The bubbling volcanic gas was something to see! We thoroughly enjoyed the excursion & would recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind a bit of a hike in the hills.

Never received our refund/had to leave mid tour - An absolute SCAM, we paid leo $1440 for a full day excursion for our group. We got done with our first adventure only to receive a call from Leo to pay another $500 so we could “continue” our plans- after much consideration, no cell service, and not wanting to hand over more money as we paid already - we asked for a refund to which he agreed to MULTIPLE times. He even went so far as to pull over a few couples from our group to say that we would be getting our refund to PayPal soon. Then the next day it was “my wife is coming to get me to take me to the bank” - only to disappear from the beach for the day. Day 3 another promise of a refund, nothing. Day 4, early morning, again walks up to 2 of us saying I will get you your money. Lies, it would have been done if it were to happen. Stop saying things that are untrue. We didn’t let you ruin our trip but it was sure disappointing to know that there are companies that don’t take pride in keeping their word - we trusted you and to take advantage of that - shame on you!
