  • 5Amazing Excursion Experience

    Our excursion booked with Aron the big papi was amazing, and the team made it so fun, memorable and enjoyable for our family. We really enjoyed the beautiful scenery, nature and experiences that Costa Rica had to offer and Aron and his team made it an amazing one for us. I would highly recommend booking with them for your excursions in Liberia, Costa Rica!

  • 5Unforgettable Experience! Aaron "Big Papi" & Umberto Made Our Trip!

    We had an incredible day with our group of 12, and this excursion was easily one of the absolute highlights of our time in Costa Rica! From start to finish, the organization was seamless. A massive shoutout to Aaron "Big Papi" for coordinating everything so smoothly for a large group—he made logistics completely effortless for us so we could just relax and enjoy the day. Our host Umberto was phenomenal! He brought great energy, looked after everyone in our group, and ensured we got the absolute most out of every stop. The itinerary was stacked with value and incredible memories: Horseback Riding & Rainforest: Scenic, peaceful trails through gorgeous natural landscapes. Volcano Mud Baths & Spa: Soaking in the natural mud baths and hot springs was pure relaxation and left us feeling completely recharged. Wildlife & Nature: We got up close with Costa Rican wildlife, spotting sloths, poisonous dart frogs, and incredible rainforest flora, followed by a stunning waterfall stop. Culture & Local Flavors: Exploring Liberia city, checking out the historic church, and wrapping it all up with an authentic, delicious local Costa Rican lunch. If you’re traveling with a group and want a authentic, jam-packed day that balances adventure, culture, and relaxation, do not hesitate to book with Aaron and Umberto. Top-tier hospitality all around. Pura Vida! 🇨🇷🙌

  • 5Great family experience, great value

    We booked with Big Papi on the beach at Planet Hollywood, and Humberto was our guide and Guillermo our driver. Our family of four had a private van and they worked with us to see all the attractions we wanted (waterfall, wildlife encounter with sloths, and thermal springs) and got us back on time to fit our schedule. They were so accommodating and willing to pivot as we requested, so we were able to spend more time in the places we wanted. It was a great value, especially compared to similar tours from other operators, and we enjoyed getting to experience Costa Rica beyond our resort!

  • 5The tour was very good

    We had a great time with Humberto. He is fun and easy going. The trip was very well planned. Costa Rica nature is amazing. We saw sloths, strawberry frog, different birds, swam next to the waterfall. I would definitely recommend this trip.

  • 5Memorable and personalized

    Private tour totally custom to our small party of 2- my elderly mom and I whose wanderlust is highly intact. Drivers showed up a bit early so we were able to get out about 5 mins early and dust need to wait for them. Clean, cool van with driver that stayed in the car so the car was protected and was also cool when we returned. Our guide Rafael was soooo sweet, thoughtful, very professional, understanding and patient. He even found a walking stick for her and it worked well for the 3/4 day excursion. Waterfall (not pictured), 2 bridges, sloth and swung by a local market for honey. Traditional lunch also good- in a clean, open air room with clean restrooms. I would absolutely recommend Aron-Big Papi for a true taste of what the locals offer and the persistent sense of safety. Thank you for making our Liberia trip soooo memorable and so very very special in ways I couldn’t imagine.

About Playa Hermosa

Playa Hermosa is a quiet beach village in Guanacaste on Costa Rica's north-west Pacific coast, with a curved bay and sunsets over the water.

Playa Hermosa lies in the Gulf of Papagayo on the Pacific side of north-west Costa Rica, in the province of Guanacaste. The beach curves around a calm bay, with a few hotels and restaurants along it and low hills of dry forest behind. It is small and relaxed, with Playas del Coco, the nearest larger beach town, a short drive to the south-west.
