About Us
How It All Began
The vision for Adventure Park Costa Rica took root in 1993 when our founder, Dietmar Maier, first traveled to Costa Rica. What started as a routine fishing trip quickly transformed into a life-changing experience, captivated by the country’s breathtaking natural beauty and welcoming spirit.
He returned home only to journey back shortly after with his wonderful wife and newborn son, eager to share the magic he had discovered. The country left an indelible mark on his family’s heart.
Initially, opening a public adventure park was not part of the plan. However, driven by cherished memories and a deep desire to help others experience authentic nature, an idea began to take shape.
What started as a quiet mountain accommodation for travelers gradually evolved through passion and dedication into the magnificent sanctuary we proudly call Adventure Park and Hotel Vista Golfo today.
Behind every great milestone is an invaluable partner. Barbara, Dietmar’s wife and an avid traveler herself, brought her extensive background in the tourism industry to help shape the warm, welcoming atmosphere of the park. Her dedication ensures that every guest feels right at home and enjoys an unforgettable stay.
Beyond hospitality, both Dietmar and Barbara are deeply committed to sustainable practices, championing eco-friendly tourism to protect the surrounding rainforest.
In addition to building the park, Dietmar engineered an innovative safety brake system designed to make canopy tours significantly safer for operators and guests alike. Now implemented across multiple adventure parks in Costa Rica, this groundbreaking invention reflects his lifelong passion for safety and adventure.
