guide Jorge and Arenal Volcano Rainforest Boat and Hot Springs Tour - We took this tour as part of our anniversary trip. It was a very full day. We had the most wonderful guide we have ever had, and we have done a lot of traveling. His name is Jorge. What a kind, patient and knowledgeable guide! All along the three hour bus ride there we asked him questions about the culture in Costa Rica and he provided data and information along the way. On the ride back he stopped for restroom breaks and made sure we were all taken care of. He showed us all how wonderful the Costa Rican people are, by giving us an example of his kindness and wonderful personality. We really enjoyed this so much. The bus driver also did a tremendous job of driving and looking out for us. Would highly recommend.

A Fantastic Day Toyr - This was an amazing all-day tour with plenty of hiking in the Costa Rican rain forest, bird watching, sloth watching, and so much more. Our guide, José, was outstanding. I was impressed by his extensive knowledge of the wildlife. He covered everything. The food was good, the transportation was comfortable, and the hot springs were so perfect after a long day. Tip: get a rain poncho and make sure you have comfortable shoes.

Wonderful Excursion - My family of 3 (husband, teenager, self) thoroughly enjoyed our Swiss Travel adventure through the rainforest's Mystical Hanging Bridges, boat ride to view the volcano, and hot springs! Plus the lunch and dinner buffets at local restaurants. Long day indeed, but the bus was comfortable and the guides courteous and informative. The trip will be a special memory for years to come.

Great Adventure For Honeymooners - Great tour! Long day, but well worth it to see the country, experience the rain forest, hot springs, and lake! Loved our host, Hernan Bolanos. Did a wonderful, thorough job of going over the history, animals, and environment of the area.

Amazing Tour - My family throughly enjoyed this tour. It was a long day (7:00am-11:00pm in total) but I think very much worth it not just for the things included but seeing cost rica during the drive also our guide gave us so much information about cost rica. One of the reviews had nothing good to say about the hot springs let me tell you it was absolutely beautiful pics attached. I would 💯 recommend this tour.

Beautiful Rainforest - This was a great full day tour. Our guide Exon was excellent!! He was very knowledgeable, funny, friendly and kept everyone engaged. First stop was to see the volcano from a far distance. Due to weather it was very foggy to see the volcano clearly. Then we were on our way to the rainforest. Be aware that you will get rain in the rainforest. There is a gift shop that you can purchase rain ponchos from. Although we didn't get to see many amimals at the rain forest the day we went (due to continuous rain) and our socks and shoes were drenched, it was still a memorable experience! Exon and the guide at the rainforest made every attempt to point out any animals or critters along the way. We really wanted to see a Sloth but were already made aware that there is no guarantee. Exon and Pina (driver) made every attempt to make some stops along the way to spot one and at the end of our tour, he found one hanging on a tree on the side of a road, very high up. The final stop at the hot springs was very nice and relaxing. They provide towels, and there are showers and changerooms available as well. It's a beautiful spot!

Best Tour in Costa Rica - OH MY GOODNESS!
So happy we did this tour. It was fun, excited, adventurous and educational.
The driver and tour guide (Dennis and Victor) were absolutely phenomenal.
I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.

Amazing tour guides - Juan Carlos was amazing at getting us there and was so friendly. Dennis was very knowledgeable and pleasant stopped when he knew the animals we were wishing to see were out. It was a great experience and when I go back I will personally request Juan Carlos and Dennis.

Incredible, but not as advertised - This tour is great if it is what you think you’re booking, which, unfortunately I seem to have been mistaken. I was looking for something low-key but where I could see a bit of the country. I was hoping not to be too active because I have lung problems and my vacation was meant to be relaxing and not cause me pain for a few days. When I found this one that said it was a 60-minute walking tour of the rainforest, that seemed like a good amount of activity.
HOWEVER, this ended up being not only a 3-hour drive to and from the volcano (not 120 minutes), it was then a (gorgeous) 1-hour boat ride before a 2-hour HIKE through the mountains and the hanging bridges. Like, it was a workout! This was not a walking tour; it was a legit hike in the mountains. Then we didn’t get back to the hotel until 10:30, and somehow everyone I talked to had been given wildly different possible return times (anywhere from 6:30pm to 11pm).
That being said, the tour is simply gorgeous. If you are looking to hike through the rainforest and stop and look for all the animals and have a super knowledgeable and fun guide, this tour is 100% for you. But if you’re like me and you’re looking for something less active (and maybe a little more look and a little less listen) and this caught your eye, don’t be fooled. This is not for the faint of heart (or lungs).

Boring tourist trap tour - Way longer than 14 hours. Boat ride was okay - got some cool shots of the volcano. Which is the ONLY reason I’m giving this 2 stars.
The rainforest walk was so corny. Prob would be awesome for a 5 year old.
The hot springs were basically hot tubs and no you don’t get to see the volcano at dinner. Overall - just not worth it. Find a private tour guide and skip this tourist trap snoozefest.
