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.

The mud bath was okay. Needs more improvement. But the rest was awesome. All the stuff was professional and friendly.

The activities were fun ( horse back riding, sugar cane making, water slide, hot springs) etc. The food was delicious, I just wish I could have gone back for a second serving 😬

Our guide Kenny was fantastic. He did a great job. Our horseback riding guide rushed us through the whole ride. He wanted everyone riding in a pack and no slowing down. Just seemed like he wanted to get us out of there. Zip lining staff was great. Bus ride there and back was pretty horrible. I’m an average sized male at 6’ tall and my knees were jammed into the seat in front of me. The driver was very good but the suspension on the vehicle needs to be replaced.

Walter was a GREAT guide. He took care of us from start to finish. He explained everything throughout the day, made sure we were safe and secure, and gave us room to enjoy the experience.

Unfortunately we were never picked up for the tour, so I can’t really rate the experience. We waited in front of the hotel for an hour before giving up.

The service was great, I have no complaint at all and the staff members are amazingly friendly. I would definitely recommend every friends and family. Excellent .
