Adventure at a family-owned “hacienda” or ranch where you will enjoy a spread of tropical fruits and fresh coffee or tea.

Immerse yourself in the unique Guanacaste landscape with a private Guanacaste Wildlife Safari & Rum Tasting Tour in Costa Rica. Your adventure begins with a pick-up at your hotel in Tamarindo, where you’ll be taken to a family-owned “hacienda” or ranch. Upon arrival at Hacienda El Viejo, you’ll be welcomed with a spread of tropical fruits in the courtyard, where you can enjoy your refreshing snack and a cup of fresh coffee or tea while taking in the scenic views.

Next, head to the boat dock to embark on a private boat safari in the wetlands along the Tempisque River. This area is privately owned by Hacienda El Viejo, ensuring a tranquil and exclusive experience. Your expert captain will guide the boat along the river banks, where you’ll encounter an abundance of wildlife. Keep your camera ready to capture sightings of tropical bird species like rose spoon-billed storks and Jabirú storks, as well as reptiles and monkeys.

After the boat safari, return to land for a rum tour and tasting. Learn about the process of creating high-quality rum from pure sugar cane, from extraction to distillation. End the tour with a delicious cocktail made with aged Sabandi Rum and enjoy stunning views of exotic birds nesting and feeding along the banks of the lagoon.
