At a two hour drive from La Fortuna we visit the Tenorio volcano national park. After some hiking we will get to the Rio Celeste (blue river). The blue color you can see is the result of a chemical reaction between two merging rivers containing different volcanic minerals. (Foto tenideros) It’s a very rare phenomenon which creates a fairytale- like beauty. The hike itself is medium tough and takes about 4 hours. It will take you to a waterfall, a lookout point and the place where the river changes colors. (Foto waterfall)With the help of the guide there is a good possibility of seeing wildlife.

Sloths Watching Tour through Sloth's Territory

Pmdoherty48, Jun 2026

An Excellent Tour

My wife, my 11 year old grandson and I really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide was a wonderful young woman who seemed to really enjoy her work and sharing her wealth of knowledge of the rainforest and its inhabitants with us. The trail was easy to navigate and we were able to see a number of sloths including a mother and baby in their natural habitat. The guide brought a telescope on a tripod along to give us clear view of numerous sloths in the trees. A very enjoyable, well managed walking tour which I am pleased to recommend.

Arenal Volcano, Hanging Bridges & La Fortuna Waterfall Combo Tour

Patricia_L, May 2026

Awesome Tour

The tour was great, very well organized. We had plenty of time at the waterfall. We then went to the Arenal Volcano National Park, where we had lunch while watching some monkeys hang from the trees. After that, we went to the Mistic Park, beautiful. We finished at Choyin. Sergio, our tour guide was amazing, he would look for birds, insects and sloths to show us along the way. I completely recommend this tour, just make sure you are ready for all the hiking :) it was a long day but totally worth it.

Half-Day Tour with La Fortuna Waterfall and Arenal Volcano Hike

Ivan_D, May 2026

Unforgettable Day at La Fortuna

If you’re visiting Costa Rica, this tour is an absolute must. Our day took us to the stunning La Fortuna waterfall and the majestic Arenal Volcano, and it exceeded every expectation. What made the experience truly special were the people behind it. Our driver Minor was warm, punctual, and made us feel completely at ease from the moment we were picked up. He was attentive throughout the day and genuinely looked out for our comfort every step of the way. Our tour guide Francisco was an absolute gem — knowledgeable, passionate, and full of fascinating insights about the volcano, the local ecosystem, and Costa Rican culture. He had a wonderful patience with our group, answered every question thoughtfully, and never made anyone feel rushed. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does.

Amazing

Beautiful experience!! Those 500 steps were so worth it. It’s not bad at all because I’m very active but many people, including one of my best friends, did kind of struggle coming back up. All in all, amazing experience. We were self guided and we just went and enjoyed the waterfall and took photos. The water is ice cold!

Soooooo fun - worth every penny!

This is a must do and is worth every penny! My husband and I went with two of our friends and we all loved it! The operation is run so smoothly and we felt 100% safe! We purchased the picture/video package and they captured some amazing shots for us! The monkey drop was my favorite - what a rush - I wanted to do it again! We will repeat this same excursion if we come back! If you’re thinking about booking this - stop thinking and just book it! You won’t be disappointed!

Caño Negro Wildlife Boat Safari from La Fortuna (Full-Day Tour)

Darryl_P, Mar 2026

Amazing wildlife tour

It was a long bus ride from La Fortuna (probably 2 hours) but well worth it. Easily the best tour we have gone on in Costa Rica. We saw over a dozen caimans, a dozen bird species, iguanas, JC lizards, slider turtles, a sloth, a howler monkey, and a troupe of white face monkeys. And the lunch after the tour was excellent. Our guide David was excellent.

La Fortuna 4-in-1 Tour: Bridges, Volcano, Waterfall

Stephanie_P, Mar 2026

Incredible rainforest experience!

We really enjoyed our experience with Jada as our guide. We saw so much wildlife that we would have never seen without her. She was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed hearing about Costa Rica history. We would have favored doing the full tour at Mistico and doing all the hanging bridges instead of having to cut that piece short to get everywhere. The waterfall was so beautiful and we saw Howler monkeys there. The volcano hike was very short and while fascinating history, was our least favorite activity. We would have preferred longer rainforest and wildlife sighting at Mistico. Overall, the experience was wonderful and we enjoyed our guide!

Morning Volcano Hike, Lunch & Hot Springs

Quanesha_J, Mar 2026

Amazing experience, must book

Such an amazing & inclusive experience. Hike: moderately intense as there are ~100 steps you have to climb through the terrain. Our 5&9 year old kids were with us and enjoyed it however my 5 year old got tired around the last 15 minutes. The hike is 2-2.5 hours then you go to the separate lunch location Lunch: good food consisting of rice, beans, chips, pork or chicken + salad. The restaurant has one side for your guess but the other side has additional items for purchase and the fresa (strawberry ice) + cafe con leche were amazing Hot springs: separate location from the hike, not far from lunch. This place exceeded our expectations as it contained 18 diff hot & cold springs +2 water slides for kids. We drove separately and were able to stay as long as we wanted once the tour was over Tour: Franklin our guide, was amazing and very knowledgeable and passionate about the information. We drove 2.5 hours in from San Juan & even though we were late, they sent us an alternate location to meet them instead of us using the bus services. This worked out great because they allow 1.5 hours for the springs but we stayed an additional hours with our kids.

Afternoon Arenal Volcano Tour & Natural Hot Springs River

Fabio_G, Nov 2025

Rainy but Magical Arenal Adventure

We had an amazing rainforest hike at the foot of the Arenal Volcano, followed by a relaxing visit to the hot springs. Our guide Joseph was fantastic — full of energy and incredibly knowledgeable. Thanks to him, we spotted a sloth right at the beginning of our tour! The hike itself was rainy, but still unbelievably beautiful. Unfortunately, we couldn’t see the volcano because of the weather — that’s nature for you. To end the day, we soaked in the hot springs, which was absolutely wonderful. A perfect finish to a great adventure!
