What are people saying about La Fortuna

Arenal Volcano, Hanging Bridges & La Fortuna Waterfall Combo Tour

Diomede_H, May 2026

Excellent adventure!

This was a wonderful adventure with many different things to see and experience. Our guide, Sergio, was excellent and had such a good eye for spotting wildlife. It was a fairly strenuous day and a few of the hanging bridges made us nervous, but if you are up for it we had an awesome overall experience!

Sloth Observation, Coffee, Chocolate & Sugar Cane Experience

Emelyn_L, May 2026

Sloth & Chocolate/Coffee Tour

The sloth tour and the chocolate/coffee/sugar cane tour were both amazing! Our guides were so nice and very informative. We saw quite a few sloths and other wildlife!! The chocolate was delicious and the coffee was really nice as well! Would definitely recommend:)

La Fortuna: Mistico Park Hanging Bridges Guided Tour

e5173k, May 2026

The views were breathtaking, like in a movie

This was a great tour to go on to see a lot of different animals in one place. Definitely do the tour with a guide. I saw a lot of people doing the walk solo and they did not know what they were looking for and the animals are very well hidden. The gift shop is great a lot of cute stuff to pick up there.

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

Nyesha_P, May 2026

Definitely a tour to start your CR adventures!

Uriel, Marco, Steven, & Cha Cha were amazing! They made the experience very informative, fun and most importantly kept us all safe. They were very accommodating to each and every one of us. This is definitely an intense tour we ended the day with 11k steps but honestly so worth it, the most rewarding part was the pools/ hot spring at the end after the two hikes. We saw so much wild life with the help of our guides, which was definitely so cool to see! Also, the lunch was delicious. They even gave us fruits and offered coffee/tea and snacks to cool off between the hikes. Thank you so much!

La Fortuna ATV Adventure with Mud Mask and Arenal Volcano Views

Michael_H, Apr 2026

Nice ride to enjoy the sights.

The pathways take you through the forest, but because it has been traveled many times, they can be very bumpy but this adds to the fun. Because you follow your guide and other riders that may be inexperienced the pace is slower, so if you are looking to go fast this might not be what you are looking for. For us we were enjoying the sights and the slower pace allows you to take that in and enjoy.

Night Walk Around Arenal Volcano

Lorien_S, Apr 2026

A dark rainy night in the jungle is AMAZING!

I can not begin to tell you how fun this was! It was a dark, rainy night in the jungle… seriously, it was. We saw a snake in a tree, frogs doing adult frog things, see through frogs, colorful frogs, POISONOUS dart frogs, a giant walking stick (this thing was bigger than your head and an arm!!), and MOOOORE! This was an outstanding tour! It was so much fun. Definitely recommend and would do again! On a rainy night…

Arenal Volcano ATV Guided Experience in La Fortuna

olya_s, Apr 2026

Great!

Amazing! If you have KIDS read it fully:) I loved this experience and the guides are always checking on you, and always ready to help. They are full of positive energy and always ready to share with you whatever they know. The route is great, on same areas of the road the driving speed is a bit high ( around 35-38), but not all the time; and we added extra time for an additional route, so worth it!! And cool to see volcano closer. Amazing! I feel like I will do the same trip next time I am in Costa Rica!! My whole family loved it. If you have KIDS, and they are on the younger side, I think its better if they sit in front of you. My son (7 years old) almost fell down, when my husband was going uphill, but he grabbed him. Daughter (9) did totally fine and she could hold herself on the side rails. Both of my kids loved it, just make sure they are strong enough to hold on the rails, when they sit behind you, as some parts of the road (especially one- it is pretty uphill). Thank you! Great experience. And really recommend it!

Arenal Volcano Canyoning; Top Rated Waterfall Rappel Adventure

Shanthi_K, Apr 2026

Terrific canyoning experience! (Fix metal bolts sticking out of rock.)

It was great. I loved the combination of zipline, rappelling, and bouldering that we got to do. The guides were very professional and we felt safe and cared for. I had two pieces of feedback for the company. 1. There was one small rappelling drop where we needed to rappel down a boulder that had two very large metal bolts sticking straight out of the rock. As I watched everyone rappel down it each person had to try very carefully not to scrape their legs on the metal bolts/screws right there. It seems like an accident waiting to happen so I put this feedback here so that something can be done to improve the safety of that particular rappelling drop. 2, I think they could offer the activity without the large lunch right before. The food was delicious but we were served a large buffet and then immediately loaded into a tractor for a 20 minute bumpy ride to the canyoning location so it might have been better to eat a little less beforehand.

7-Cable Zipline Adventure: Fly Over La Fortuna Waterfall

Bernardo_S, Mar 2026

An absolute must

Must do. Very well organized, felt very safe with the equipment, the guides were amazing, and the zip-lines were absolutely incredible. The only con is that after this, the bar is so high that zip lining at other places may be lame. Did it with 2 kids, including a 10 year old that was super scared; however, the guides were very supportive by the time she made it across this was one of her favorite activities ever.
