nice day of adventure and relaxation as promised - The whole day was good - everyone was nice - zip line was good - fast and long; best I have done. The lunch was good and the hot springs, while I wished warmer was good and relaxing - our guide gave us extra time there, which was nice.
The tubing is fast - it can be a little rough for people with injuries or sensitive to that sort of thing - I skipped it because of a bad back and was glad I did...

Best Excursion Ever!!! - I have traveled quite a bit and I have gone on plenty of excursions. This tour incorporated everything I could have dreamed of. On my bucket list was zip-lining. I didn’t zip line once but eight times! Different lines. All safe, different levels. The allowed you to bow out anytime you were uncomfortable, no pressure. We took a nice horseback ride up the zip-lines. We also did an adventurous water slide, trust me this is not a splash park slide, not for the weak. We had coffee and moonshine tasting with snacks. We had a delicious lunch. Last but not least, we ended the adventurous day with a mud bath and soak in the natural hot springs by the waterfall. So beautiful and calming. So much for a great price! I would definitely recommend this tour if you visit Costa Rica worth every penny. Also very nice transportation (with air) to and from excursion.

Amazing experience, wonderful staff, totally recommend! - This was a great experience for our family! We have a 9, 12, 15, & 17 year old and they loved all the activities. The horseback riding was super mellow and the horses were very well trained. My kids had never been around horses and did great. The zip line was professional and safe. My wife was really nervous about it but ended doing all the zip lines. The guides were safe and mixed in a little appropriate humor to help relieve the anxiety. Then we went down the 1000ft water slide, which was kind of bumpy but fun. We didn't want to buy water socks and so we just did it barefoot, which was totally fine. They provide lockers (with locks) and so we changed into swimming suits prior to the slide. There are multiple opportunities to go back to the lockers throughout the day. They also will let you use towels, but you just need to sign for them and return them. Lunch was very good and was a full plate of food (chicken/pork, rice, macaroni salad, squash salad, green salad, soup, fried plantain chips, and a coconut desert - passion fruit juice and water were provided to drink - alcoholic drinks could be purchased as well). The cultural tour covered sugar cane, coffee, pastries, and guaro (the local preferred alcoholic drink). We finished with the volcanic mud, which you can smear all over you. Then, we rinsed off and entered the lava springs. We arrived around 9 am and left around 3:30 pm. Overall, this is a day packed full of activities and, considering how expensive each excursion is in Guanacaste, I think this was a great valued to do multiple activities and all they offer throughout the day. I highly recommend this!!!

Adventure, Relaxation and Natural Sanctuary - We went as a Family to Vandará and were impressed by the beauty of the place, the friendliness of the staff and the Quality of food.
The property has beautiful gardens, of the best thermals we have visited, on the estate are a wide variety of fruit trees, such as guanabana, oranges (The fresh of lunch 100% natural).
The staff very professional and committed to safety.
We're definitely coming back.

Great outdoor experiene with multiple events - I booked directly on their website. We drove ourselves there. As we arrived we were greeted by friendly and attentive staff. Th grounds were clean and beautiful. As we went during off peak season we enjoyed the full day pass with zero delays. The zip lines were fun and we enjoyed the cultural experience and Caramelo, the Ox. The lunch was great - we had chicken. The only thing that I was scared for was the horse back riding because it was up rocky terrain but it went well. My Partner however, liked that the most. We also enjoyed the thermal pool and I had a lovely cocktail there, it was a bit expensive but say what. I would definitely advise on going there!!!

More caballo time please! - The horseback riding activity was way too short. They ran out of horses for our group. About 4 people didn’t get to ride. Bummer.
