Whether you want to zoom through the treetops on a zip line, plunge down an extreme waterslide or take a horseback ride in wildlife-packed jungle, Buena Vista Adventure Centre serves up some of Costa Rica's top thrills. And when you need to slow things down, there's a tasty local lunch and a well-earned soak in a hot volcanic spring to enjoy.

Our guide was awesome, informative, kind and friendly. It was good value for the money. The only thing was the drive back which felt long because of traffic. we were told we'd be back at the resort by 5 pm and it ended up being 7 pm.

Enjoyed all activities. However, very long drive

Henry, the guide, was great; the driver, outstanding. Can't do much more in a day and not for that price.

The tour guide was excellent. The person who did the booking gave us all the wrong information, such as bringing extra pair of clothes, towels. She wouldn’t honor the resort credit from Costco
