Family-Friendly Tours in Jaco

This tour is perfect for adrenaline junkies, but even if you're not an extreme adventure kind of person, you can still enjoy it. The tour lasts all day, so be prepared for a full day of excitement. We will take you to five different waterfalls, each bigger and more beautiful than the last. You are encouraged to take a refreshing swim, but if you prefer to observe from dry land, that's fine too. We want you to be comfortable! One of the waterfalls has a rope swing to jump into the pools below. Another waterfall has a natural waterslide and jumps that range from 8 to 40 feet high. After visiting the waterfalls, we will take a short break for a meal at a traditional Costa Rican restaurant before continuing the tour. We will then jump into our 4×4 and head to one of the most breathtaking waterfalls in Costa Rica, Nauyaca Falls. If conditions permit, you can jump up to 45 feet into the deep pool at the base of the 80-foot waterfall. Finally, we will return to base camp and then take you back to your villa.

The canyoning tour begins like any other, offering a dynamic, multi-sport experience that combines zip-lining tours, waterfall rappelling, hiking, swimming, and cliff jumping for a truly memorable adventure. We will pick you up and take you to our base camp for an authentic Costa Rican meal to fill your bellies and fuel your adventurous spirit. After the meal, we will load into our 4x4 vehicles and travel to our private reserve. Along the way, you will see many interesting plants and creatures, not to mention breathtaking views.

However, the tour gets extreme once we hit the 5th rappel. You will rappel 158ft into a pool inside a hidden canyon with more swimming holes and waterfalls to enjoy. The tour is 5-6 hours long and we will return to basecamp for an authentic Costa Rican lunch afterwards.

One hour south of Jaco, Costa Rica, you will find the town of Quepos, where you can experience rafting on the rivers of the Central Pacific. We have a few locations on two different rivers, with typically class 3 rapids (depending on the season, we can operate at class 4). After suiting up, you will receive instructions and safety information from your guides before heading downstream to tackle the power of mother nature. This is a popular and thrilling tour, but please note that it is also an extreme tour, and we recommend it only for those who are able and fit to raft the rapids. Class 3 rapids are a basic standard for rapids, meaning that you will have some intense moments and others where you can relax. However, please note that some rivers/routes may not be available year-round due to climate conditions.

One of the top tours and things to do in Jaco, Costa Rica, is the Zip-line Tour (also known as Canopy). The beautiful park is located 10 minutes north of Jaco in Herradura. After arriving, get geared up and read the safety instructions. Then, head up the mountain in a tractor and get ready to zip along the treetops back down to the base. This experience is a fantastic time and a must-do while in Jaco. It's perfect for the whole family, and the overall tour with transportation and lessons lasts about 2 hours, with multiple lines, instructions, and gear. After the tour, enjoy some water and fresh fruit before heading back to Jaco.
