Top La Fortuna Day Trips

This experience was amazing because of the natural and our tour guide from Red Lava, Rasta and driver, Manuel. He was patient and knowledgeable about the environment. He explained everything in laymen's terms. The driver was a safe driver. We walked on 5 hanging bridges which was breath taking. A must-do. It rained during the hanging bridges part so we didn't get to see much wildlife, but being in and seeing the rain fall in the rainforest was nostalgic. It gave meaning. There was a lot of hiking during the hanging bridges but beautiful nonetheless. Also, during the volcano, lots of hiking. I suggest wearing hiking closed toe shoes. Lunch was a great break in between and it was tasty. The waterfall had a lot of stairs. Harder up than down. It was so beautiful seeing the waterfall. Bring swim shoes if you plan on getting in the waterfall to swim. The hot springs were a great way to wind down and relax your body. Overall, the experience was worth every penny, every step, every tired feeling, and every minute. I recommend Red Lava as your company of choice for this experience. I also recommend a half day for those not physically capable and for young children. It was a lot in one day. WATER BOTTLES AND RAIN JACKETS/PONCHOS a must!!!!

Incredible experience- fantastic experience with kids who are adventurous! The guides were great and the rappelling was very intense. You do have to have a slightly above average level of physical fitness as there is some tougher ladder climbing and a few short hikes. We had a great time!

Our Sloth Territory tour was an absolutely amazing experience and one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica! We saw an incredible variety of wildlife, including several sloths—one of the most memorable moments was spotting a mother sloth with her baby nestled on her belly. It was truly a National Geographic-worthy sight and something our family will never forget. We also had the opportunity to observe a toucan up close and capture amazing photos and videos. There is no way we would have spotted many of these animals on our own. The high-powered telescopes used by the guides made all the difference and allowed us to see details we never would have noticed otherwise. Our guide, Jason, was outstanding. His knowledge of Costa Rica's ecology, wildlife, plants, and culture added so much depth to the experience. He was passionate, engaging, and eager to answer questions, making the tour both educational and entertaining. If you're visiting the La Fortuna area, this tour is a must-do. The combination of incredible wildlife sightings, expert guiding, and a deeper appreciation for Costa Rica's unique ecosystem made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
