Melvin and Leandro were absolutely wonderful tour guides! We enjoyed every minute of our jet ski tour. They took us to beautiful parts of Costa Rica that we never would have experienced otherwise, making the adventure truly unforgettable. Big Papi and the rest of the staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to work with from start to finish. It was a pleasure doing business with all of them. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Costa Rica—it was one of the highlights of our trip!

We had a great time with The Big Papi! The jet skis were a ton of fun, pick up was convenient, and the views were absolutely beautiful. It was a great way to spend our last day in Papagayo. Highly recommend! Muchas gracias!
Great excursion with Aron the Big Papi amazing adventure at the Beach near Planet Hollywood! Pablo was an excellent jet ski guide—friendly, professional, and made the whole experience fun and easy. Highly recommend this crew!
We had a fantastic time. Our guide, Walter, was great! I would highly recommend.
Big Papi customized our tour based on what we asked for. His tours were with professional and knowledgeable guides (we took 2, one by boat to snorkel with turtles and another to go to Tamarindo). We definitely plan to use him again the next time we are in Guanacaste!! Hoghlt recommend ❤️
Wonderfull,went to a couple beaches,explored some caves,and took scenic pictures from a lookout point,they also took pics of us on the jetski in front of king kong island the guides were friendly and fun to hang out with as well!
This was the best experience we have had on our trip. Our guide spotted dolphins for us and a sea turtle!!!! So amazing! Highly recommend this activity.
Juan and his associate were terrific! Highly recommend them for this tour (we booked it through Amstar at Secrets Papagayo). Saw sea turtles and a really cool cave where the water came crashing through as the tide came in. Lots of whitecaps on the return trip (that was blast!). Highly recommend this tour.
Costa Rica xplores were great! We booked the boating adventure also. You must request the rooster fish. The captain and the deckhand Neggro were absolutely amazing!!!
Had the best time on the guided jet ski tour. Ariel was phenomenal and showed us some amazing sights around the bay including caves, famous homes and took us snorkeling on an isolated beach where we saw thousands if tropical fish and 6 sea turtles. Awesome time if you are in the are dont pass up this tour. Big Pappi booked the tour and usually hang out at the beach and you can book directly with him. Pura Vida!
The tour guide Victor was amazing and very personable. The views were amazing and Victor took a lot of photos for me. Thank you so much Aron “Big Papi” for setting everything up!
Eduardo and Miguel are amazing! We went jet-skiing and snorkeling. The price is much better than going through the hotel, and it supports the local economy. Eduardo really cares and is incredibly friendly. I hope to use Costa Rica Xplores when I come back to see Costa Rica again!
Seeing caves made by volcanos was amazing. Our guide Jonathan took many pictures. We were thankful. The monkey head a neat.
Great experience working with big papi and Eduardo on the beach in front of planet Hollywood. Don't be fooled, these guys are legit and half the cost of booking with the hotels. We also got massages on the beach and called them to help us arrange transport to the airport. 4 thumbs up for big papi and Eduardo. Our jet ski tour was with victor who did great in showing us around. Definitely will call these guys when we're back next in Costa Rica.
The trip was absolutely amazing. The guide made sure we felt safe and comfortable. They gave us a 2 seater because my wife didn’t want to drive one which was very helpful. We went at high tide so we couldn’t drive through the cave but seeing the river with all the trees in the water was unreal. Will definitely book again when I come back.
The guides were awesome and the tour itself was great. Very scenic and was able to see and learn some neat things about the area. Stopped off at a fun hidden beach with caves and views and were able to see a couple crocodiles up close as well as coati and multiple bird species. Was a great experience and very pretty to do around sunset.
We had a great time on our 2 hour Jet ski tour. Our Guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Would highly recommend. Quality Equipment.
I had such an amazing solo adventure to Costa Rica. I rode jet ski through the mangroves and saw crocodiles up close in the wild along with soo much more. Shoot they even got me set up with an early morning fish trip the day I was leaving which allowed me to head home with the experience of catching a 90lb Rooster Fish. Talk about icing on the cake. I can go on and on. Ask for Jose and he will take care of any adventure you need.
COSTA RICA XPLORES - With ARON THE BIG PAPI & his experience with Berny and his jet skis tour guide was amazing!! We Followed dolphin’s, seen the caves and watched the sun set at Monkeys Head. Weather and tour was great! Aron the Big Papi is the best!
We actually did three tours. Jet ski tour, fishing and snorkeling. All there were worth the money. Big papi’s prices are very fair. The big plus is they leave from the beach and you can set how much time you want to go for. I find other tours sometimes take long with little value so you are wasting precious vacation time. The jet ski is very cool and fun. We actually jet ski next to a small crocodile in the mangrove. We saw turtles swimming on the jet ski and when went snorkeling. The fishing was good we just did get any big fish that we were looking for. We did catch a few small tunas jigging which my kids rather have done than trolling for big ones. Just a tip if you are going with young kids that prefer action vs the possibility of a trophy. Over all a total success. I know the resort wants you to book with them which I did for the zip line/animal sanctuary trip, Big Papi just made it so easy and the price was really good. Make sure to check him out and see if he help you out.
Jose and team took excellent care of us and recommended so much fun activities. We did one just about everyday and it made our trip! So many great pics and lifetime of memories to remember! Jose was friendly, honest and very informative. Highly recommend using them! He is located at the beach at planet Hollywood.
Tour was amazing! The coast is absolutely gorgeous and our Jet Skis well powered and fun. We appreciated the opportunity to open them up and challenge the waves knowing our guides were there to fish us out if we needed them. :-) The guide was informative and interesting and made sure we got to see as much as possible while on the water. Monkeys, dolphins, turtles mating, cave exploring, stunning views, and coral reef. Loads of fun. Highly recommend!
This was an amazing trip. We had 2 guides for our family of 5 (3 skis) - Bernie had an excellent knowledge of the environment and worked hard to make sure it was a great experience! Highly Recommend
Big Papi and crew were great to us. We did the 2hr jet ski tour and hit multiple parts of the island. Even entered in trough the gulf ocean. Saw a cool cave and a few animals! Overall the wife and I had a great time. Highly recommend
We (my family, 2 adults and 2 kids) did the 2h jet ski tour around the bay. It was really amazing, we had two yamaha jet ski 1100ccm, my wife was sceptic at the beginning but then she also had a lot of fun with the driving. The guide showed us a cave, we visitet two bay for land animal waching, and next to us was a big group of dolphins. It was expensive but we had really a lot of fun. Paul and Family
Mauricio and Eduardo were amazing! We used them for jet ski’s, Catamaran ride and a shopping trip to Coco Beach. They were very professional and fun to be around, and the prices were fair. They both ensured that we got exactly what we asked for and followed up to make sure we were satisfied. Anyone visiting the resorts in the Papagayo area, please find these gentlemen and book your excursions with them. You won’t be disappointed!
Wow, what an exciting adventure! The adventure golf course at Hollandpark is simply amazing! I had a fantastic time putting through the scenic Dutch courses. The landscape is stunningly landscaped, with picturesque waterfalls and lush greenery. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I can't wait to come back and have even more fun. There are over 25 courses and unfortunately we didn't get to play all of them - but that just gives me one more reason to come back and have even more adventures!
