3 in 1 combo tour - Amazing! - Our guide Francisco and driver Edgardo did an incredible job of showing us through the hanging bridges, volcano, and waterfall! He showed us many animals we would have missed including some vipers that were right under our nose. We spent a bunch of time swimming in a huge waterfall and had an amazing lunch as well. This is the combo you want to book of you are visiting La Fortuna, you wont regret it!

Do it, you won’t regret it! Worth the money !!! - We had an amazing time! Our tour guide(Francisco) was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, flora, and geology. The lunch we had during our adventure was delicious! We had a delay at the waterfall due to high winds but our tour guide kept us updated on the situation and once it was safe he was able to get us down to the base of the waterfall before the crowd got there! Edgaurdo our driver was fantastic as well, he provided us with a freshly cut pineapple in between the hanging bridges and the volcano hike! The pineapple was out of this world amazing!!

Nice tour - CR is a beautiful country but a trip there without sometime in :a Fortuna would be a mistake IMO. The tour was excellent and action packed. anyone with moderate stamina will enjoy it.

THIS 3 PART, FULL DAY TOUR WAS WONDERFUL! - We absolutely loved this tour. It was all day with Monica who was absolutely wonderful. We did book it direct with the tour agency, which may be less expensive that way and we drove to one of their locations, so we didn't pay for transportation pickup and drop off. I was worried I'd be afraid of the hanging bridges, but it was no problem. They are steel and sturdy. Monica is very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and animals of the rainforest. The waterfall is gorgeous and refreshing. Yes, it's 500 steps down & up, but they aren't steep, so it's fairly easy. Lastly was the hike up to a better view of Arenal. They are in the process of putting in steps at La Silencia, which definitely made the hike easier. Monica gave us an appreciation of everything we saw and is WONDERFUL.

Great Combination - This was a great combination of tours. The rainforest with the hanging bridges was awesome. Our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. We would look through the scope at some creatures and he would take pictures through the scope for us with our phones. The volcano hike was challenging with the path being lava rock at an incline. If you're looking for more of a flat hike, this would not be for you. This also included the history of Arenal Volcano. Even though the waterfall was 500 steps down, it wasn't a problem coming back up as there are benches to rest on the way up if you need them.

A must do in La Fortuna - This package was a fun-filled day with so much to offer. Oscar, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable about everything. Without him, spotting wildlife would have been nearly impossible. He kept the experience fun, even in the pouring rain. Make sure to bring a poncho and bug spray! The waterfall was absolutely stunning and definitely worth the visit. Don't miss out on swimming next to the waterfall—it's a must-do! The lunch provided was not only beautifully presented but also a delicious taste of authentic Costa Rican cuisine. During lunch, we were treated to a close-up view of a sloth, which was hanging out low in a tree—no binoculars needed! Our final stop was a short hike around the Arenal volcano, offering breathtaking views at the top.

Super tour - We had an excellent 7.30am - 2.30pm tour with our guide Isaac to the Hanging bridges and a volcano hike. Isaac is a very knowledgeable guide and we learnt a lot about the history and geology of this area and the natural habitat. Through his experience we were able to see an amazing range of insects, reptiles, birds and animals. The tour finished with a really delicious Costa Rican lunch.

If only a day in La Fortuna, this is perfect! - This was a great way to experience Arenal all in one day. We did not feel rushed and our guide was super knowledgeable. We are a family of 7 with 4 in their 20’s and a 15 year old. Everyone enjoyed it very much. We all agreed that it was a highlight of our trip!

Great tour if you have a short time in La Fortuna - Kenneth and Oscar were super friendly, fantastic tour guides sharing so much local knowledge and helping us capture photos. Punctual pickup time. This is a full day tour and a bang for your buck - we saw so much from the time we got picked up at 7:10am through drop off around 5pm. Lunch was the best we had in La Fortuna, and at a lovely ranch outside of town. It is a lot of driving back and forth; we wish the order of things were different to avoid that but because not everyone on our tour was doing all three stops I think it had to be this way. I personally wish there was more hiking time at the Volcano, but since that was the last stop everyone would have been overtired had we hiked more.
