What are people saying about La Fortuna

Jeffrey_P, Aug 2026

This was a highlight of...

This was a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica! Highly recommend the guided tour. Nasa, our guide was able to point out so many animals that we would have completely missed on our own. She was also able to tell us a lot of the history of the area. The views are beautiful all along the hike and at each of the bridges! Absolutely worth it! Bring an umbrella when you go!

Arenal Hanging Bridges Self-Guided Walk at Mistico Park

Doug_R, Aug 2026

It was a beautiful walk...

It was a beautiful walk and the bridges were fun. We went during rainy season and without a guide so we only saw one monkey, one frog, and some beautiful butterflies. Without a guide I wouldn't expect to see much, especially if you move quickly. We took our time and took everything in. Lots of rain so I am assuming the animals were seeking cover. I still think the views are worth it and you can take your time and enjoy it all.

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

KEVIN_B, Aug 2026

Lots of Walking, Lots of fun!

I had lots of fun seeing the Arenal volcano and the waterfall at La Fortuna! Diego was a great guide showing us the way up to the top of the volcano, explaining to us a bit of the history of the area as well. When we got to the waterfall, it started to rain. Everyone else was getting ready to go into the river (which didn’t seem too safe to me), so René suggested a place on the trail where I could go and take pictures of the waterfall. Not the best experience if you’re not into hiking (I took about 15K steps), but probably the best way to see the volcano and the waterfall in a single day and Diego & René where awesome!

Sloths and Monkeys Guided Tour in Arenal Nature Walk

Rachel_H, Aug 2026

A Wonderful Tour!

Our guide, Miller, was incredibly knowledgeable about not only the sloths and monkeys - which we saw plenty of! - but also the flora and fauna of the farm. Our walk along the wooded trail was paced well and very peaceful. We were shown frogs, plants, trees, insects, and of course the sloths and howler monkeys! There were great views of Arenal! What an enchanting property to visit! I'm grateful for the owners for running such a lovely tour and for allowing us to spend time in this beautiful space - thank you! Miller and his co-host, Derrick, were both fantastic, and the nice young woman who checked us into our tour was so kind and let us try sugar cane! Thank you all for everything! We are so glad we chose this tour out of all the offerings 💗🦥✨🌅

Sloth Observation, Coffee, Chocolate & Sugar Cane Experience

Christopher_M, Jul 2026

Really fun and informative

I wasn’t sure what I was getting into . We were picked up from our hotel and taken to this location I had seen from the road . I really thought this was a tourist trap . It was not - 35 acres of woods and saw about 7 Sloths . Really a great experience for kids . The coffee was really good and the cocoa and sugar can was really informative

North Fields Cafe: Craft Specialty Coffee and Chocolate Tour

Lisa_G, Jul 2026

Stephan led our tour. It was quite long but so interesting. Lots of tasting and looking at different things like coco bean fruit…tasting and touching. The best FRESH roasted coffee I have ever had! Yummy chocolate! Best way to spend the afternoon after the drive up. Stephan was awesome!!!

Arenal Volcano, Hanging Bridges & La Fortuna Waterfall Combo Tour

David_H, Jul 2026

A great way to experience some of the La Fortuna “must sees.”

A long day but totally worth it. Our guide for the day was Albert. He was great, and explained everything in English and Spanish as we went along. It was a very rainy day and the volume of the waterfall was too intense for swimming, but the hike down (and back up) was beautiful. We opted to hang out in the café to dry off a bit because it was pouring rain, before we continued on to the Arenal volcano hike. Even in the rain, it’s worth doing the hike to the base of the volcano, but I imagine it’s spectacular if you are lucky enough to do it on a clear day. Albert provided facts on the volcano and was constantly on the lookout for wildlife that he pointed out as we trekked. For us though, the highlight of the day was the Mistico hanging bridges. Besides the spectacular scenery and the bridges themselves, there was plenty of wildlife to see including howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys, and even an eyelash viper. Beautiful place, and very easy to hike on the paved trails. We decided to skip the final stop at the hot springs because we had a day pass to one of the hot springs resorts the next day, and instead, had them drop us off at our hotel - Lost Iguana - which was very close to the Mistico Hanging Bridges. They were very flexible and agreeable about doing. Overall, a great day, and we slept like babies.

Arenal Volcano Canyoning and Waterfall Rappelling from La Fortuna

Brandon_P, Jul 2026

The Absolute Best

Book it. I have been a tour guide in multiple tourist destinations and done my share of travel tours. This was easily my favorite tour of my life. Jose, Kendall, Jonathan, Caesar and Ronan are pro’s, super safe and professional fun. (Don’t listen to the few whiners here. Although I will say, to do this you must be in, like, not bad shape. You need to be active.) but they’re good at what they do and make it accessible. The jungle experience is truly magic. Unbelievable. You won’t believe your eyes.

Zipline Tour in La Fortuna with Arenal Volcano Views

Catherine_K, Jul 2026

So much fun!

What a great adventure for our family! As first time zipliners, we felt super safe with the practice course and professional staff! We literally flew through the rainforest and got glimpses of sloths, toucans, and so much more! A special shoutout to Alberto for his care and understanding of working with our child with Down syndrome! He worked so well with him and helped provide an unforgettable experience for our whole family! The rest of the staff was outstanding, too! Informative, engaging, and so much fun to be around! Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica! Pura vida!

La Fortuna ATV Adventure with Mud Mask and Arenal Volcano Views

Martha_R, Jun 2026

Fun experience on ATVs!

The guides were great - very patient with all of us and especially helpful when I fell (twice! - both my fault) and needed to finish the ride on the back of our leader’s ATV. Communication before the ride in regards to where we would meet up was also very clear and helpful. Would recommend Original Arenal ATV to all looking for an adventure.

Arenal Volcano ATV Guided Experience in La Fortuna

David_M, Jun 2026

Beautiful and Unique Views!

I really enjoyed this experience, I would say if you are an experienced rider seeking thrills this may slightly let you down. It’s more geared towards all experience levels but the journey and views are incredible. You definitely get your money’s worth in the length of the journey and amount of sites.
