What are people saying about La Fortuna

Arenal Hanging Bridges Self-Guided Walk at Mistico Park

Cassandra_K, Apr 2026

This was a really cool...

This was a really cool experience. We definitely recommend going first thing in the morning and taking the Mirador volcano viewpoint trail (not sure the exact name but it was the dirt trail off the Rufous Garden). We were all alone and walking through cloudy mist was beautiful. My 66 year-old mother and 8 year-old daughter were able to do this with no problems and only minimal complaining :-) This was a very cool experience and definitely worth it.

La Fortuna: Mistico Park Hanging Bridges Guided Tour

Heather_R, Apr 2026

Favorite activity in all of Costa Rica

Be sure to wear closed toed shoes, be prepared for some hills (both up and down), and bring water in a non-plastic container. Once you’ve got that covered, get ready for a fun, informative, exciting nature walk. We saw 2 types of monkeys, sloths, poisonous snakes, poisonous frogs, lizards of all shapes and sizes, lots of birds, the bridges are fun and give the most incredible views. Loved every minute of this. Highly recommended- especially if you can book with Jose Raul! He gave extra attention to detail and was full of information about the Costa Rican eco system. (And kept us laughing). Great for all ages as long as climbing/hiking uphill and downhill for a few hours is doable!

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

Shawn_M, Apr 2026

Listen. If you’re...

Listen. If you’re thinking about booking this tour; just do it. My girlfriend and I didn’t know what to expect, but boy did we choose well. We stepped into the world of Jurassic Park meets Jumanji. The volcano, the sloths, the plants, the lava rocks, the waterfall. Everything was a 10/10. Huge shout out to Carlito, Franky, and Richard for making this day a memorable one!

Arenal Volcano Canyoning; Top Rated Waterfall Rappel Adventure

Alrxandra_R, Apr 2026

Multiple excursions in one!

We had the best time on this adventure! Our guides were knowledgeable and fun. The directions were very clear. We had a blast and would choose this again and again! It was so nice to have multiple different portions including zip lining, rappelling and jumping off waterfalls.

Arenal Volcano ATV Guided Experience in La Fortuna

popsie1, Apr 2026

Fun family activity!

So much fun! I had never driven an ATV before so I was a bit nervous but got the hang of it really quickly. Everything is well organized and instructions are very clear. There's nothing crazy about the ATV ride other than the terrain at some points, but you go at slow speeds so it's perfectly safe for families (my husband and I drove our own with our kids on the back). I wish we could have gone faster, but this is not a thrill ride, more of a sightseeing type of ATV ride that is very tame. The tour includes a short hike up to Arenal volcano which is HARD if you are not physically active and not wearing the right shoes. My husband and I did ok but it certainly got our heart rate up. My teenage son breezed through it while my teenage daughter really struggled. I saw some folks in the wrong shoes who were struggling as well. Recommend wearing hiking shoes for this activity and being ready to make a steep climb at the end to the top of the volcano. The hiking part is only 10-15 minutes long. Most is paved except the very end where you need to climb up rocks to make it to the top. The view is incredible and worth the effort.

North Fields Cafe: Craft Specialty Coffee and Chocolate Tour

Joshua_F, Apr 2026

Just do it

I had an amazing experience at North Field Cafe’s craft specialty coffee and chocolate tour. The entire tour was extremely informative, giving great insight into both the coffee and chocolate-making processes from start to finish. The coffee and chocolate themselves were outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and clearly high quality. You can really tell they take pride in what they produce. A big part of what made the experience so enjoyable was our tour guide, Alberto. He was incredibly knowledgeable, well-informed, and made the tour fun and engaging the whole way through. He explained everything clearly and kept it entertaining without ever feeling rushed. Overall, it was a great time and something I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area or interested in coffee and chocolate.

Sloth Observation, Coffee, Chocolate & Sugar Cane Experience

Stacy_C, Apr 2026

Highly recommend, great tour / package!

Great experience all around! I recommend using bug spray before the tour and maybe even long pants (I ended up with a lot of ant and mosquito bites). Using a guide for the sloth walk was the best decision we could have made too! Very cool getting to see so much wildlife through a scope and being able to get such great photos!

La Fortuna ATV Adventure with Mud Mask and Arenal Volcano Views

Amanda_N, Apr 2026

Great time!

Our family of 3 did single ATV’s. We have never riden ATV’s before but felt the explanation and safety briefing was extremely thorough. There were 8 of us in our 11:30am group and we had 2 guides. We felt they were attentive and we enjoyed the fresh pineapple and waters during one of the stops. We would have enjoyed a slightly faster pace but understand that if you have a slower group member the whole group goes at that speed. Would highly recommend this!

Balsa River White Water Rafting class 2/3 in Costa Rica

Emma_M, Mar 2026

The best rafting in La Fortuna by FAR!!!

This was a top notch experience. From the comfortable ride to the rafting and back for an AMAZING lunch! Pictures to purchase were affordable and fantastic! We had almost 100 pictures of our trip and they captured the fun perfectly. Jefferson was our guide on our raft and he was so fun. We love to have fun and he played right along and into it. Highly recommend! This was such a great experience! Great for everyone!!!!

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!

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.
