Vandara Explorer or Nature Tour Rincon de la Vieja
Hot springs, a zipline, horseback riding and a waterfall at Vandara.
Adventure Combo Tour: Hot Springs, Zipline & Jungle Waterslide. Experience the best of Costa Rica in one unforgettable day, in a hidden rainforest paradise near Rincón de la Vieja in Guanacaste. Soak in more than 20 natural volcanic hot springs, cover yourself in mineral rich volcanic mud, and take the plunge at the only waterfall jump in Costa Rica. Discover authentic Costa Rican culture with sugar cane traditions, the park's oxen, tropical orchards and a fresh garden to table lunch.
Choose your pass. The Explorer Pass is packed with thrills: fly on a zipline over the Río Tizate, cross hanging bridges, go horseback riding and race down a 400 meter jungle waterslide. The Nature Pass skips the adrenaline for a relaxing day of hot springs, volcanic mud, waterfalls and culture, with easy pathways and no hiking required.
Both passes include doorstep pickup and drop off, a bilingual guide and a traditional Costa Rican lunch, just a scenic drive from Tamarindo.

5 STARS ALL AROUND. Sam and the crew at OHANA RENTALS are the only people to see for Golf cart or Motorbike rentals in Tamarindo. They were absolutely seamless to work with, willing and eager to help with anything from recommending the best place to get a street pincho to where to booking a fishing charter, surf trip or eco tour Sam is the man. He and his team of caring Ticos will steer you safely in the right direction. I have no reservations about recommending OHANA RENTALS to anyone visiting the Tamarindo area. Thank you Sam for your warm hearted hospitality. PURA VIDA MAE...

Samuel made renting a scooter with him extremely easy. He was very responsive and even picked up the scooter near my hotel to make my departure day smoother. Not only that, he recommended a dive shop to me for my first ever scuba dive which was fantastic. Will definitely work with him again when I return to Tamarindo
