TRANSCRIPT
Hey guys, it's Samantha here and welcome to the Mytanfeet channel. In this video, we have part 2 of the best day trips from the Guanacaste coast. If you want to see part 1, the link is below in the description, otherwise, let's get right into part 2.
In no particular order, the first Guanacaste day tour on our list is Hacienda El Viejo. Hacienda El Viejo is a privately owned farm offering 3 different types of tours: rum, cultural and boat.
Visitors can take a rum tour to learn about El Viejo's house rum made with the hacienda's own sugar cane, a cultural tour to learn how to make tortillas and press sugar cane or a wildlife watching boat tour in their private reserve to see animals like crocodiles, monkeys and iguanas.
The next day tour is one of our favorite day trips from Tamarindo because you get to experience a completely different kind of forest than at the beach and you get to see sloths. This tour goes to a sloth reserve and the Heliconias hanging bridges in Bijagua to discover the primary rainforest, walk the hanging bridges and see wildlife. This is an excellent excursion for families or any nature and animal lover and we highly recommend it as Bijagua is one of the closest and best places to see sloths and animals in the wild from the Guanacaste coast.
Next up on our list as best day trips from Playas del Coco, Flamingo or Tamarindo is scuba diving. One of the most popular islands for scuba diving is the Las Catalinas, a 30 minute boat ride from Flamingo and in Costa Rica, you don't have to be certified to scuba dive because you can go on a discovery dive which doesn't require certification. You can see turtles, manta rays, sea stars, jellyfish, tropical fish and even white tip reef sharks.
The fourth place to visit is Rincon de la Vieja National Park very close to Liberia. Visitors can hike the trails in the park to see the boiling mud pots or to the waterfalls.
Another option is to visit one of the adventure parks right outside the national park to enjoy their one day combo tours. There are several adventure parks offering fun outdoor activities like ziplining, white water tubing, horseback riding, waterfalls, hot springs and mud baths.
And lastly, La Fortuna. Although we recommend to stay a night or two in la Fortuna because it's a 3.5 hour drive from the coast so it's not close, but you can visit as a day trip from Tamarindo or Playas del Coco or Liberia. La Fortuna has a ton of fun activities such as La Fortuna waterfall, hiking around the Arenal Volcano, ziplining, safari floats, horseback riding and hot springs, which is definitely a must do.
We hope you guys found our part 2 video on the best Guanacaste day trips helpful, remember you can do any of these trips from Samara, Tamarindo, Flamingo, Playas del Coco, Liberia, La Cruz and any of the neighboring beach towns.
