Amazing experience! Fed so many animals so many carrots- but at least 2 bags of carrots, you will need them. Staff were all great!
5.0 Full day experience is worth it!
Duane_Z, January 2026
Worth every penny. The full day experience. They treated us like gold. We'll organized. Our concierge Marc, was great. Helpful, polite and very informative. Shout out to the zip line crew, Jose Luis, and "Riding Bull" took such good care of our group. The lunch we had also exceeded expectations.
5.0 Such a wholesome, enjoyable time!

The Teekisia package at Ponderosa Adventure Park was amazing. We started off zip lining, with the last one taking you right over the waterfall. Next we went on the safari, where we got to see antelope, crocodiles and wildebeest, feed and pet the zebras, giraffes, watusi cows, and other animals. We had lunch afterwards, which is included. After lunch we went horseback riding with a guide who asks if you want an easy route or difficult route (we went with the harder one, still easy for a first-time rider), during which he provided factoids about Costa Rica while we had a nice view point of the continental divide and volcanoes in the distance. After horseback riding, we spent time at the waterfall before ending our day with tubing down the river. I’d definitely do this again if/when I’m in Costa Rica because it was just a wholesome, enjoyable time interacting with not only the employees you encounter but also other families you meet on the different activities, especially the safari.
5.0 Excellent staff, especially Mark and Emmanuel

5.0 Fun safe adventures
Maggie K, July 2025
Feeding the giraffes and zebras was really fun! They come right up to the open sided truck and staff has instructed us how to hold the carrots for safety.
Ziplining was great! I was a first timer at age 67 and felt very safe. The only challenging part for me was all the stairs.
Last was tubing about 20 minutes down a gentle river. Guides went with us in case we got hung up. Again, fun and safe activity.

Mark was a Wonderful worker. Everything was so wonderful. We really enjoyed ourselves. We recommend this experience to others.
3.0 Safari Tour Alone
104cjp, June 2025
our family highly recommend to just book the safari tour and not the Pondersa full day pass (it’s not worth it) but Safari Tour alone is the highlight and if you want an add on activity the zip line they have 4 canopies and the last one you cross over a waterfall. Otherwise it’s not organized like the other tours we went. The concierge just ask us which activity we want next and then they just tell us to go. We didn’t get to do horseback riding or the lazy river tubing because when we went and hike down the concierge said the tubing guys would be waiting for us but no one was there and we waited for 20mins at the start of the tubing spot. We just hiked back up and left the property.
5.0 Great experience

Very great experience!! Me & my boyfriend enjoyed feeding the animals & the 3 zip lines! Would definitely recommend
5.0 This whole adventure park...
A_A, April 2025
This whole adventure park trip was lit! We did the safari, hit the waterfall, zipped through the trees, then ended on horseback—every part was dope. The staff was cool and made everything smooth, even with the language barrier.
Didn’t need to know Spanish like that—they got you. And shoutout to the photographer too—mad affordable and had our pics ready before we even dipped. No stress, just good energy and even better memories. If you’re in Costa Rica, don’t sleep on this one!
5.0 Amazing time

Excellent park, worth to visit. They made amazing renews since our previous visit. Animals are well fed and it is an amazing experience for kids. The food is great. There is also a very nice waterfall to fresh out after the safari ends (it takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes

5.0 Must spend a day - especially if you are traveling with family
Compass596146, July 2023
Ponderosa is a must if you are traveling with children in the Guanacaste area. There is something for everyone. Zip line, waterfalls, tubing, a safari in a wolf life preserve, swimming pool, and local type food.
1.0 Bad company
mariedemonroy, July 2023
We were overcharged $100 compare with a prices at the gate. No refund. Bad company, wouldn't trust.
Also not using TripAdvisor again as they didn't help resolve the problem
Response from Host,
July 2023
Hello! Dear Marie de Monroy. Thanks for travel with us using TripAdvisor. We understand you disagreement with this suation and we are working to find a solution. We request a proof of the over charge to process the partial refund, because we have the oficial prices online. Please take note that sometimes they have last deal promotions on gate, maybe for that reason you find the difference on the price, but it is not ussual, because normally we dont have enough space for directly bookings on the same day of visit, book online means you will guaranted your space.

5.0 Ponderosa Adventure Park Review
AngryHotDogs, May 2022
My favorite part was getting to feed the animals! But my girlfriend and I really enjoyed all of the activities! We did the 5 activity package. We got to go through the canopy(the ziplining was very fun!), horseback riding, a little kayak and swim. Everyone, from our driver to our guides were very friendly, nice, and insightful! If you get the chance, definitely go fot the 5 activities, it is worth it.
5.0 Our driver Eddy was the best driver ever!
FrequentFlier112538, May 2022
Eddy did an amazing job, he was there with us every step of the way. A courteous driver, tour guide and very respectful gentleman. I highly recommend! We were glad to have him as our driver the next day for Rio Celeste as well. He even takes great photos and video!!!
5.0 Unforgettable
Adiba_S, March 2022
Unforgettable memory. My two year old son has been talking about the animals for days. I have never seen animals this up close. Thank you for this experience.
