So fun!!
We had a BLAST!! Rasta and Andy were amazing tour guides. You can tell they are very passionate about animals and nature which made everything much more exciting. I learned so many interesting cool facts about animals and plants. The lunch provided was delicious! I love this tour because it hits all the places you want to see all in one day. Thank you for an amazing time in La Fortuna!

Highly Recommend!
I had SUCH a wonderful experience on this tour. Our guides Abel, and Marco were both really great. I was nervous for the hanging bridges, but after the first one, I was having a blast. Both guides helped us spot animals we wouldn't have seen on our own, and were very knowledgable about the animals and the environment. Highly recommend.

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.

An Unforgettable Adrenaline Rush
This canyoning trip was an absolute blast and easily one of the most incredible experiences I’ve had. The entire operation was seamless and run like a well-oiled machine, from the punctual start to the delicious meal at the end. Even if you’ve never rappelled before, the guides are so professional and encouraging that you feel 100% safe and comfortable throughout the adventure. The combination of the four waterfall rappels and the "monkey drop" was an exhilarating adrenaline rush and a unique way to take in the beautiful scenery. It was a fun, high-energy morning that was worth every penny, and I’d recommend it to anyone visiting La Fortuna.

Amazing tour!!
We had SUCH a great time on this tour! Our guide was wonderful and helped us to see SO much wildlife from a mama/baby sloth pair (7 sloths total!) to a poison dart frog the size of a ladybug to lots of amazing birds. I wanted to do the whole thing again right away when it was done!

Very cool experience and...
Very cool experience and very busy, but that didn’t bother us. My 66 year-old mom and I swam at the base of the waterfall. It’s SUPER cold and the water is powerful. There are lifeguards to ensure no one gets hurt. It was worth the business for the experience.

Best way to see wildlife!
Saw many amazing birds! All three types of monkeys and so much more wildlife! It was the most wonderful day we have had in Costa Rica. Our guide was so knowledgeable! Knew every bird and animal and so much about them. Our captain had the eagle eye!! Enjoyed every minute! Got wonderful pictures!

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.

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!

Cocao to Chocolate from start to finish
Grexel was the most enthusiastic guide, we loved her! She and her team showed us how cocao turns to chocolate in all its various stages (including tastings at each stage). It was super fun and cool to learn the process and we were full from all the chocolate we ate!

Great experience for families!
We loved this river safari tour! The guides were professional and friendly, and the experience was organized and easy from pickup to drop off at our hotel. The boat is a smooth ride and easy (the guides do most of the paddling) but your feet will get wet. We saw sooo many animals, including howler monkeys (a group jumped across the river right over our boat), crocodiles, iguanas, bats, and many species of birds. Our guide was great keeping our kids (ages 6 and 8) entertained. The boat ride itself is about 2.5 hours and they had a snack (tortillas/cheese/plantains) and chocolate tasting at the end. A really great family activity in Fortuna!

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!
