I could not recommend this more highly 10/10 from start to finish. This tour company was recommended to me & I’m glad I booked. Diego & Ralph were our guides/drivers who made the trip extra. It’s a huge day, lots of walking if you do the three activities but worth every step. You stop often and chat about wildlife, history etc. the only killer is the 500 steps back from the waterfall but reading the comments knew that in advance. I was worried about the Volcano hike based on the comments but it was a slow steady hike up and again, was a good pace - coming down was my concern but we took the steps that had a chain for my balance so i was happy. It’s an incredible experience.

We had a great time with Kathis and David! She was able to spot so many animals and point them out to us. Also she was very knowledgeable about all of the animals we spotted!

It was an intense but the best way to pack the top things to do and we added the evening which with the termal water was what the body needed The only issue was that the food provided in Baldi ( thermal water ) was not good perhaps not include s meal and let you order from the regular menu with a voucher

This tour exceeded all expectations! From start to finish, it was a perfect blend of adventure, breathtaking scenery, and insightful learning. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating details about Costa Rica’s rich biodiversity and ecosystems. Walking across the hanging bridges was surreal, being surrounded by lush rainforest and catching glimpses of incredible wildlife made it truly magical. We spotted so many amazing creatures along the way, making the experience feel like stepping into a nature documentary! The waterfall stop was a stunning highlight, offering a refreshing escape in one of the most picturesque spots imaginable. And let’s talk about lunch - WOW! The food was absolutely incredible, a true taste of Costa Rica that left us beyond satisfied. It was the perfect way to recharge before exploring the impressive Arenal Volcano. Seeing it up close was awe-inspiring, adding an unforgettable touch to an already amazing day. If you're looking for a tour that combines adventure, nature, and deep appreciation for Costa Rica’s beauty, this one is a must! Highly recommend.

We had an amazing time on this tour and can’t recommend it enough! Our guide, Harvin, was outstanding—so knowledgeable about the local wildlife and plant life. He made the entire experience both educational and fun. We started at the Volcano Arena, then made our way to the La Fortuna Waterfall. Both spots involved a bit of hiking, but Harvin was incredibly patient and supportive with both me and my wife throughout. After all that adventure, we enjoyed a delicious lunch at a nearby hotel—the food was so good, I’m seriously considering going back just for that meal! We ended the day at the beautiful hanging bridges, where Harvin even helped take some amazing photos of us—definitely memories we’ll cherish. This tour was worth every penny, and Harvin truly made it special. Don’t hesitate to book this one!

Great tour hitting the can’t miss spots in La Fortuna. The highlight was finding an active sloth on our hike to Arenal Volcano. The guide was great making sure we took turns at the scope and helping take great photos.

What a wonderful day, and our guide Diego was very sensitive to everyone’s needs. We saw all the top sites in La Fortuna in one day. It is a good bit of walking and at times steep, so be sure you have good shoes and good stamina. A guide is a must since they are trained to find the animals and have a scope. We would have missed so much without a guide. We did the hot springs also-it is worth trying, but not my favorite. The hikes were much better and very interesting!
