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.

We have been on 20 cruises and to 4 all inclusives and believe that this has been the best excursion we have ever taken. All of the experiences (zip line, horseback riding, water slide, mud bath/hot springs) were fantastic. Plus you add in the cultural experiences, lunch and transportation. They were all first rate and a truly excellent value. Highly recommended this excursion.

I highly recommend the Mega Combo Buena Vista package. We had a great experience with many full filled event throughout the day. The staff was very good, and well planned event.

David, our tour guide was amazing. He took his time at every attraction to make sure we knew what was going on and to keep us safe. He pointed out animals that he saw. He was great.

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 😬

Only issue was the distance, we were told a time that was much shorter then the actual. Of course I understand traffic conditions could vary but it’s best to provide a window in my opinion to minimize any discrepancies.
