La Fortuna Waterfall, Hanging Bridges, Arenal Volcano Combo Tour

Nicholas_C, Apr 2026

Rainy but overall Great Experience!

Definitely bring water proof clothing/attire. We started with a hike at base of Volcano and was very rainy. The Waterfalls were beautiful, and the lunch after was authentic. The Bridges after were great. Saw a couple of monkeys, sloths and other various wildlife. Erika was our guide and she was knowledgeable of everything we saw and quick to point out things to see.

The Ultimate Arenal Adventure with the Best Guide!

Highly recommend Chris if you want a fun, informative, and memorable adventure in Costa Rica!

Go see David!!

This was the perfect amount of time for a small tour and seeing the main event of the Statue of David! Martina did a stupendous job of building up the moment with her vast information on art history as well as drawing our attention to the art pieces on display. She was also very funny, understanding, respectful and so very kind! I highly recommend adding this to the wonders for all to explore in Florence!

Elisee_O, Apr 2026

Highly recommended whilst in La Fortuna

We had a great time zip lining. Our tour guides Ronnie & Alan were extremely friendly and funny. It wasn't our first time but they made us feel comfortable. The scenery is stunning. We did the 12 zip line and it requires a lot of initial steep walking, but definitely worth the view once you get to the top.

Excellent tour that is worth every penny!

Excellent and very informative tour! Our guide, Ruby, was exceptional. We particularly appreciated the efficiency of the tour; we were able to walk right in at our scheduled time, avoiding the hours-long lines for admission. Having the flexibility to spend additional hours exploring the museum on our own afterward was also a significant highlight! Seeing Michelangelo’s David was incredible, and learning about his upbringing and the history of why the Medici family commissioned the piece was incredibly valuable. We truly enjoyed this experience and learned so much.

Arenal Volcano Canyoning; Top Rated Waterfall Rappel Adventure

Shanthi_K, Apr 2026

Terrific canyoning experience! (Fix metal bolts sticking out of rock.)

It was great. I loved the combination of zipline, rappelling, and bouldering that we got to do. The guides were very professional and we felt safe and cared for. I had two pieces of feedback for the company. 1. There was one small rappelling drop where we needed to rappel down a boulder that had two very large metal bolts sticking straight out of the rock. As I watched everyone rappel down it each person had to try very carefully not to scrape their legs on the metal bolts/screws right there. It seems like an accident waiting to happen so I put this feedback here so that something can be done to improve the safety of that particular rappelling drop. 2, I think they could offer the activity without the large lunch right before. The food was delicious but we were served a large buffet and then immediately loaded into a tractor for a 20 minute bumpy ride to the canyoning location so it might have been better to eat a little less beforehand.

Guachipelin Adventure Volcano Zipline Horseback River Tubing Combo

Jennifer_L, Apr 2026

Fun full day of adventure

This full-day tour packed in a lot of adventure. Everything was well-organized. Armando was a great guide and provided a lot of interesting information about Costa Rica on the long drive. Wear dry fit clothes and bring water shoes for the tubing and hot springs (we wore sneakers for zip lining and horseback riding and changed shoes for the tubing). You can leave bags on the van, which follows you through the day. Also bring a change of clothes for the long ride back. All of the activities were a lot of fun, and the lunch was very nice. Our favorites were the zip lining and river tubing (which was pretty intense...definitely not a lazy river).

things_to_do

With its soaring volcanos, tropical rainforests, and white-sand beaches, Costa Rica is a veritable paradise for outdoor adventure. And with the right guide, nothing is too extreme. Although many Costa Rica tours will give you an adrenaline rush, like ziplining or whitewater rafting, there’s also no better place to take a rest day. Set sail from the Caribbean or Pacific coast, sample farm-fresh cacao and coffee, or explore the museums and markets of San Jose.
