What are people saying about La Fortuna

Sloths and Monkeys Guided Tour in Arenal Nature Walk

Kyle_H, Oct 2026

This was a great...

This was a great experience and our tour guide (I believe his name was Eric) was very informative, he showed us how to use our phones with his tripod binoculars to take amazing pictures of the wildlife, and we could tell he loved what he did! We saw sloths, frogs, monkeys, and rare owl during the day

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

Kenzie_P, Oct 2026

This was by far our...

This was by far our favorite activity so far, the waterfall was beautiful and so refreshing - but it is a strenuous way back up in the humidity and there are rather steep stairs, so it may not be for everyone. The lunch was fabulous, the volcano was amazing and the guides gave us so many facts about the history of the whole area! The volcano hike has some hiking up steep stairs, but not nearly as much. The hot springs were nice after a long day of hiking! The timing was off a bit, which did have us a little stressed out to begin with. Our pickup time was 30 mins after the advertised start time of the overall experience, and it was only about a total of 8 hours overall rather than the advertised 11. Which was plenty, don't get me wrong - I certainly would not have wanted to do anything more after the long day, just a little different than advertised. Highly recommended excursion!

Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields

MuHung_C, Sept 2026

Coffee and chocolate - what else do you need?

This was a very interesting and informative tour. You might have a general idea of how coffee and chocolate are made, but it was nice to learn about the details and intricacies of the process. We got to try lots of samples of chocolates and coffee and they have a nice shop too. Fun experience!

La Fortuna: Mistico Park Hanging Bridges Guided Tour

Arlene_M, Sept 2026

Great experience

What a wonderful experience! We were lucky to see two kinds of monkeys one being a whole family with a baby ! Go early ! Bring a rain jacket ! The views are amazing! We had a tour guide she made stops along the way to spot animals and different types of snakes. Also got to see a pair of owls, toucans and a sloth ! Very lucky! Very cool crossing the bridges

Pure Trek Canyoning Adventure: 4 Rappels & Monkey Drop

Wes_C, Sept 2026

High adrenaline, super fun, very wet adventure

On a trip full of high-adventure activities (ziplining, horse back riding, ATV driving), this was the most exciting of them all! I'm afraid of heights but I felt super safe throughout the tour and managed to conquer my fears enough to do both the monkey drop and jump off the final platform. The scenery is incredible: you'll go around and through waterfalls, between huge boulders, and hike some gorgeous rainforest trails that connect the rappelling platforms. Do note that you will be dropped into a 6-foot deep pool and will descend next to and through waterfalls, so you should expect to end this adventure fully soaked through. I'd strongly recommend bringing sturdy water shoes, as you'll be walking over rough and rocky terrain as well as getting wet. Since you'll need both hands to hold the rope and control your descent, you won't be able to take any photos unless you have an action camera or something similar mounted to your helmet or chest. They do take photos and some video for you, and the pricing is quite reasonable: for $35 you get access to the full-size digital originals of all of the people on your trip.

Abel was an amazing tour...

Abel was an amazing tour guide! We got to see so many animals during our tour, which made the experience even more special. Even though we got absolutely poured on, it definitely didn’t ruin our day; in fact, it made the rainforest experience even more memorable! Abel was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had a great time. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Costa Rica! 🇨🇷🌿🐒🦥

Danielle_H, Aug 2026

Do it!

We had the time of our lives! Truly! The guides were all incredibly helpful. They explained everything, kept us safe and always had an open hand to assist in any way. My kids are 8,9 and 12 and they all just loved the experience so much. We did get the photo package because it was just so amazing and a time to remember! We will never forget our experience here and I would recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Costa Rica. The guides José, Kendall, and two others were all just so informative and fun. Pura Vida!

Luke_S, Aug 2026

What an experience! From...

What an experience! From the start the whole team was welcoming and very clear. They were especially accommodating with our kids, helping them down the waterfalls and even down the giant last one. It was tremendous fun and something the kids will be talking about for a long time! Food afterwards was some of the best we’ve had and a nice communal atmosphere.

7-Cable Zipline Adventure: Fly Over La Fortuna Waterfall

Paola_C, Aug 2026

Must Do!!

We had a great experience on this zip line tour! The thrill was exhilarating and felt very safe! Plenty of parking on-site and close La Fortuna center. They had a safety training before the lines and many guides to help with the zipping transfers. It was rainy and a tad windy when we went but it didn’t change a thing. If anything, the forest was very very lush and vibrant green. My boyfriend is very afraid of heights but this was a must-do bucket list item. The first zip line was the highest and definitely took him a minute to get in the zone but the staff reassured him and he had fun! After the first zip line it gets easier and easier. Our group was comprised of all ages and weights. If the guides noticed that someone needed more weight to get across or maybe even scared, they go on the zip with you to make you feel even more secure! 100/10 experience and MUST DO! Fight your fears! You don’t want to miss this!

Zipline Tour in La Fortuna with Arenal Volcano Views

Andrea_C, Aug 2026

Beautiful Views!

This was a really fun tour! Alberto was our main point of contact as our tour guide. He did a great job guiding us, along with his co-workers. There were a total of 8 ziplines and we really enjoyed the pace and seeing the beautiful nature surrounding us. We opted to pay for the option to take live action photos and really enjoyed seeing them afterwards. We even got to see some toucans while we were there! Thank you for a great time!

Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica

Jennifer_C, Aug 2026

Family fun!

We had so much fun! Even though the dam wasn’t working in the river we were supposed to go to, they took us to another river and had the best time! We even saw iguanas and monkeys along the way. Alan was a great guide, who kept us safe while having a blast! The lunch afterwards was enjoyable as well
