A full day at an authentic Guanacaste hacienda — zip lines, horseback riding through the estate, ATV adventure and a traditional Sabanero lunch. Private experience with certified bilingual guide.
Your certified private guide, exclusively dedicated to your group. Guide pickup is included on the way to the destination.
The cultural part of this day genuinely surprised me. I expected it to be a brief intro before the activities — but the coffee ceremony, the corn grinding, the stories about the hacienda's history were deeply moving. Then the zip line sent us right back into the excitement. Perfectly balanced day.
We chose Plus and it was worth every penny. The ATV segment through the jungle, followed by an hour on horseback across the estate, then a long table lunch under the hacienda roof — it felt like something out of a novel. Wild Papagayo coordinated everything seamlessly from pickup to drop-off.
We brought our teenagers and they were completely absorbed all day — which is no small achievement. The zip line was the highlight for them, but even the cultural experience held their attention. The guide was extraordinary: knowledgeable, funny and clearly passionate about this place. An unforgettable family day.
