Just know this is a full day. We got lucky as it was just our group of five, so it probably went quicker than if you were part of a larger group.We were picked up at the hotel next to ours at 6:45am. To begin, our guide took us down a path to see some monkeys as he knew we wanted to see some animals. The 7 ziplines felt very safe and the guides were very diligent. You slow down with a thick glove but you feel like your in control the entire time. Not too much hiking or walking in between lines. (other than to get to the first one) Our guide actually ziplined ahead of use. Your in some dense mountains so you can see some animals briefly. Next we did a 30 minute horseback ride around a dirt rocky road, just average for our group as we've been a few times before. We then changed into our bathing suits and did the water slide. You'll see the slide when walking up to the ziplines. A painted concrete tube through the jungle. I felt a little nervous to begin but very safe. Your kind of in a tube when you go down and they give you your option of speed. We got to go twice. If you like water slides, this one is long, fast and fun. Lunch was a buffet with plenty of options and was surprising very good. Some down time to take in the surroundings and relax. Next, to the volcanic mud and hot springs. You'll get into a large metal covered tractor seating attachment with padded seats which is pulled by a large John Deer tractor. (Hard to describe but other than very bumpy a little dusty and steep you feel safe) They were leveling the dirt road while we went down, so it's hard to know how smooth they get road after the rainy season. They give towels and the facility is like a spa in the jungle. You go into a sauna to open your pores, then rub on the volcanic mud then wait until it dries. (No mud baths if your a "SUITS" show person) Take a cold shower to rinse off the mud and spend some time relaxing in the 5 hot springs. The springs are similar to large concrete hot subs (fed by the volcanic waters) which flow into one another and are varying temperatures. We were here for about 2 hours. You can have a drink and relax between if you like. Very laid back. We were in the flamingo area so the trip there and back is around 2 hours Each Way. We are beach people so we wanted to get our sight seeing done and this was an excellent way to accomplish that. Our guide Jorge was unbelievable. Spoke good English and gave us so much info about Costa Rica throughout the entire day. He made the trip very special. That being said, if we were on a bus with 15/20 other people if may take away from how intimate it felt. We were very happy to see and experience everything. Not sure of the tipping protocol but I gave him and the driver $100 tip.

We loved the variety of acitivities with the excursion. Zipline and hot springs were our favorites. JFYI, from Tamarindo the shuttle bus was approximately 3 hours one way, but we would do it again.

This tour was very fun and educational. Our tour guide, Sofia, was knowledgeable, professional, energetic and funny. The transportation was comfortable and clean. A day before the tour, we were contacted to confirm our reservation and we were sent a reminder of everything that we needed to bring. I highly recommend this tour if you want to learn about Costa Rica and have a full day of outdoor activities.

GREAT experience with this travel / excursion company! We booked through Edna at the Westin & she was a rockstar who helped us accommodate our party of 6!! Also, their prices were reasonable. The excursions themselves were fun & educational as the tour guides were knowledgeable & amicable. If looking to book and go on fun adventures, I recommend this company! The kids in our party had a BLAST!

Rose Gomez at the Dreams Las Mareas Hotel recommended the Combo Day Trip. We were not disappointed. 3 of the 4 of us had a blast on the ziplining - not scary, just breathtaking, and the 4th of us walked on the suspension bridge across the canyon. It was a nice opportunity to question our guide about Costa Rican trees and wildlife. The horseback riding was fun, hadn't ridden a horse since childhood. The sauna and mudbaths were a blast. You were required to shower off the mud in cold water, but then you could soak in one of the divine hot spring pools. An unforgettable day.

Roberto was a great guide !!! We loved all the knowledge he had about Costa Rica and how much he cared about the group ! The experiences themselves were awesome. So much fun and we were able to do so much in a day. Would definitely refer this to a friend!

The zipline felt very, very safe! One of the group members thought we would see more ie. rivers, view of the ocean etc. It is more about being up high and the thrill of soaring through the air. The operation at the zipline is a well oiled machine! Many groups are there at once, but are positioned to attend certain activities so no one is just standing around waiting to do something. The only thing we wished we would have done is to bring some cash (we left everything in the van) to tip the different Ticos giving the demonstrations. We enjoyed the sugar cane demonstration (how it was prepared in the past, not today!) and enjoyed tasting a piece of sugar cane and tasting sugar cane juice. The pottery demonstration was also interesting, but we brought no cash to purchase anything. We really enjoyed the hot springs, especially since we were able to go to the private side which wasn't anywhere near as crowded as the public side. The slide can be scary, but the water can be monitored to go slow, medium or fast. Fast is really fast!! Horseback riding is a typical trail horse ride. The horses are trained to follow one another so you really don't have to worry about them running off. Follow the instructions to turn them, slow them down and you will be fine. The website said to bring long pants, but there is no need for them. If you are a tentative rider, have your horse follow behind a horse and you won't have to worry about directing them. People were concerned about the horses being worked and looking "sad" (really!!!). The horses are well cared for and are groomed! These "cowboys" know what they are doing.

My husband and I decided to book this tour ever though I've had back surgery. Our guide Cerro was very friendly (made everyone feel speical), knowledgeable (both history and current events) and made special accommodations for me! We highly recommend this tour company and decided to schedule the National Park Riverboat Tour also.

This package was well worth the money! It included roundtrip resort transportation, tasty buffet style lunch,zip lines, water slide, 40 minute horseback ride, sauna, volcanic mud bath, hot springs, and a unique Costa Rican cultural experience. My group of 6 enjoyed every minute of it. Also, I’m vegan and the lunch included options for me (soup, rice, beans, salad, sliced vegetables, pasta & tomato sauce). I would recommend this tour to anyone traveling the Costa Rica. Our tour guide was great as well!

My wife and I did this excursion with our adult children and their friends (twenties). Our guide was awesome. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Answered all of our questions and communicated all the logistics very clearly (order of events for the day, when we would need certain clothes, when we should leave our belongings on the bus and how they will be safe, etc) - I’m used to some type of confusion along the way one every excursion we’ve taken, but this was perfect. The zip lines were great and guides were also very helpful and friendly. The waterslide was more fun (and faster) than we expected. Lunch was excellent, too. They could easily go cheap and pass out some sandwiches or dry tacos, but this was really nice, with soup, salad, main course and rice pudding for dessert. We had free water and hibiscus juice, and could also purchase drinks if you’d like. The hot springs were very fun, too. We got lucky to have a time where it was just our group, but it would have been plenty of room with much more people. We were able to apply some volcanic mud and wash it off under this waterfall (not sure, but it sounded like it depends on the rainfall if the waterfall is there or not). My review really doesn’t do justice to how much fun we had on this excursion - it was the highlight of the trip for all of us!

Our group of 4 had the BEST day! We were gone for nearly 11 hours and I surprisingly was sad it was over. The day is filled with so many fun activities, but our wonderful, chill and knowledgeable guide Abel, made it even better. We also had a fun group of other people from all over and we all just had fun! The zip lining, hot springs and lunch were my favorite things!! Well worth the money! I highly recommend!

We had an incredible time!! When we first booked with Ladey she was amazing. So knowledgeable and broke down each package for us. She really went above and beyond for our entire holiday. Our travel guides were Exon and Raul and they were just as wonderful. Exon came with us to each activity so we always had a friendly, bilingual face. A must do!!!

Our travel agent worked with Swiss Travel for our two week visit to Costa Rica. I would not have changed a thing that they recommended. We had the trip of a life time. All of the staff that we worked with or toured with were very knowledgeable and friendly. The main tour we took directly with Swiss Travel was the Mega Combo tour. It was a great day full of interesting info on the culture on CR people, nice horse back ride, zip lining was a great with fabulous guides and the mud bath and hot springs were wonderful! The lunch that was provided was great as well!! Our tour guide Jorge and driver Omar did an outstanding job. Jorge was very informative and fun and Omar did a great job getting us where we needed to be! I would highly recommend using the organization for any of your needs in Costa Rica.

This was a great first excursion. Herndon was our guide and he was informative and personable. The hot springs were beautiful and the water slide was surprisingly exciting. Great day!
