Guanacaste Costa Rica-Diamanté eco park

Has anyone been to Guanacaste? Diamanté eco park looks great but is it worth buying the full day pass if we won’t be doing the zip lines? Can we walk on the crocodile bridge without doing zip lines etc.
Also are there any other good trips? We Would quite like a boat trip.
thankyou in advance.

We went there in 2017, got full tickets for those ziplining and wildlife park tickets for those not ziplining. I would only pay for full tickets if you use zipline otherwise pay for what you do.

There are loads of trips from there, about 15 different ones. There's a Costa Rican company on the beach by the rui hotels if you are staying there which offered private tours for same price as group tours by agents. We did Arenal volcano and hot springs, Buena Vista zipline through jungle, monkeys toucan, hot springs, horse riding through jungle, water slide through jungle, Diamanté 60mph zipline and wildlife park, seeing sloths and rainforest and Carribean side and a tropical gardens wih butterflies and exotic birds Blue River or something that was called. As well as kayaking in the Pacific, beach volleyball, seeing raccoons, geckos and coati at hotel. There was a boat trip with crocodiles I think but we did not go on that one. Have a great time, we loved it there. Favourite trip was Buena Vista, sloth trip and kids loved the 60mph zipline 300 metres in air at Diamanté. All the trips were good and saw wildlife everyday.

Think it was this company, it was just us on their tours with 2 guides and great transport. www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g309235-d1718897-Reviews-GeckoTico-Province_of_Guanacaste.html

Thank you, that’s really helpful, so did the wildlife park ticket only include the bridge over crocodiles?
I will have a look at your link.

I am not 100% sure as was a while back but think the bridge was part of the zipline but there were crocodiles in the sanctuary. We got tickets on the door and they would answer questions. There was also a Palo Verde National Park boat trip with crocodiles and the guys on the beach Gecko Tours had their own version too. We did not do that one as seen crocodiles elsewhere and one on beach said inflatable boat and was not sure inflatable boat plus crocodiles was a good idea.
