What are people saying about La Fortuna

Night Walk Around Arenal Volcano

Ellie_R, Mar 2026

Knowledgeable friendly guides

This was so much fun. We saw four snakes, so many frogs and even a kinkajou high up in the canopy. Our guide (didn’t catch his name) was very knowledgeable and friendly, so good about everyone seeing each animal and taking photos. I would absolutely recommend it. The fear-de-lance and cat-eyed snakes were the highlight!

La Fortuna Waterfall, Arenal Volcano, Hot Springs Full Day Tour

Jessica_E, Mar 2026

Highly Recommend!

This was a wonderful tour through the highlights of La Fortuna, 2 beautiful hikes, amazing wildlife, a waterfall and of course the volcano, ending at a hot spring. Our guides, Santiago, Christian and driver Cha Cha, were excellent!! They had lots of good information about the areas we visited, and did an incredible job of seeking out wildlife we would have never spotted on our own. Very patient and willing to take pictures and accommodated our group with children.

Arenal Volcano ATV Guided Experience in La Fortuna

vlyballgal, Mar 2026

Lots of Fun!

If you like to be adventurous this tour is for you. We took the ATVs on dirt roads, regular roads, through water and we even added an optional upgrade to go to see the volcano rocks. Once you get to a certain spot on the volcano trail, you do have to walk up a steep hill, but it is not bad. Once you get to the top you can see a great view of the volcano and some of the lava rocks left behind from the eruption. I highly recommend this activity if you like off-roading. Just lift your feet up when going through the water and your shoes won't get wet.

Khoa_L, Mar 2026

We had a great time....

We had a great time. Didier was a great host providing the overview. We were all beginners but our boat guide Carlos Segura made us feel comfortable and let the kids stay involved. The tempo was good with rapids broken up by areas of calm water to rest and the adventure came with a great fruit and lunch break at the end. We would highly recommend it to other families.

North Fields Cafe: Craft Specialty Coffee and Chocolate Tour

La Fortuna: Mistico Park Hanging Bridges Guided Tour

Allison_N, Mar 2026

Book the tour!

I was hesitant to book a guided tour but I’m so glad we did!!! Frau was the best guide! He pointed out animals that we would walked right by. We saw pit vipers, lizards, and hummingbirds, awesome birds, and the highlight, spider monkeys! What an incredible experience! Book the tour! Just do it!

Arenal Volcano, Hanging Bridges & La Fortuna Waterfall Combo Tour

Jitendra_S, Mar 2026

Amazing tour and must do !!!

Sergio was an amazing guide and truly made this tour unforgettable. The La Fortuna waterfall swim, volcano hike, and hanging bridges were all incredible experiences, and ending the day relaxing in a natural hot spring river was the perfect cherry on top. I told Sergio that anyone can book a tour, but it’s the guide who really makes the difference—and Sergio absolutely did. He took his time with our group and went above and beyond to point out wildlife along the way, including frogs, a snake, a sloth, and many other animals we would have easily missed on our own. He was knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about what he does. This tour is an absolute must if you are visiting the Arenal Volcano area. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience!

This was an amazing experience! 10/10! Super adrenaline filled and definitely wear water shoes because you will be jumping into pools of water to get to the next activity. Make sure you can also swim at least a little! The guides are very knowledgeable and if you want to get the optional photo package bring either cash or paypal!

Baldi Hot Springs Resort – Day Pass with One Meal

Anna_B, Mar 2026

Great stay 👍

The place is very nice, with multiple hot springs. Regular temperature is 109°F, but you will find 96°F or even 68°F, which is still good. I will recommend the option with lunch real. Good Costa Rican—good You can rent a towel for a 10-dollar refundable deposit. Seinks are $10-30 and beer $12. The hotel has a spa, and you can take a 50 min massage for $104. Great for families but the slides are very fast and hurt your body.

Sloth Observation, Coffee, Chocolate & Sugar Cane Experience

harley_w, Mar 2026

Great tour! So many sloths!!!

Very fun and we saw so many sloths! If we didn’t do this tour, we would not have seen as many sloths on our trip. The guide was very great at pointing them out and sharing facts. The coffee and chocolate tour was phenomenal as well! We definitely enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend.

7-Cable Zipline Adventure: Fly Over La Fortuna Waterfall

Timothy_B, Jan 2026

Review of 7 zip line tour

We did the 7 zip line tour and it was perfect. Not to much. Just the right amount of fun. There was a nice little hike through the jungle in the middle which we really enjoyed. The drive up to the zip line pads was really sweet. The zip line instructors you could tell, really loved their jobs. It was a great time and I would recommend the zip lines as a must if you like adventure and you find yourself headed to La Fortuna. The view of the waterfall is like nothing I’ve experienced elsewhere.

Arenal Hanging Bridges Self-Guided Walk at Mistico Park

Eleonora_E, Jan 2026

We weren't sure whether...

We weren't sure whether to go on the hanging bridges at Fortuna or Monteverde, and I'm so glad we chose this one! It's inside a very well-preserved forest, with clearly marked and easy paths. The longest bridge is about 100m I think, and it had some stunning views on the volcano from the bridges. We went in one of the last time slots available, and at the beginning it was a bit crowded but near the end we were almost alone on the bridges. For the cheap price compared to other parks, this was great!
