- La Fortuna Waterfall - We hike to the base to swim on our natural pristine pool
- Mirador El Silencio - When hiking Arenal Volcano, you have a lot of different trail options. All go around the base of the impressive volcano, giving you different vantage points. In our opinion, one of the best views of Arenal Volcano is from Mirador El Silencio. This series of easy-to-moderate trails leads to a very high lookout. Here, you feel as though you are standing eye to eye with Arenal’s cone-shaped peak

We love Mario - Incredible tour, Mario is a love, has a thousand patience and explains everything.
We could see sloths despite the rain.
Very good food, basic.
Yes you have to prepare for a lot of walking, but you miss seeing all nature

Nice hanging bridge and Waterfall experience - The hanging bridge tour brings you in the middle of the rainforest. It's very nice, even if we got a lot of rain!
The waterfall is beautiful but we were not allowed to swim in it because of the rain, so there was not a lot to do except exercise with the 500 stairs and take a nice picture.
Mario the guide is super experienced. He was spotting animals like a magician! He even spot a Sloth while we were at the waterfall for us to be able to check it on our back to the lunch.
For the lunch we stopped at a very decent restaurant. All in all you have a very nice experience for you money!! Thank you Mario! 😁👌🏻

Happy Tourist! - Mario made this an incredible experience and he was able to spot out a ton of wildlife that made our experience incredible. The wildlife around the hanging bridges was great. The waterfall was a sight to see and the hike to the volcano and learning the history was special. Highly recommend!

Fun filled day with lots of steps - Had a great day and great weather. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable as well. We also had a great local lunch. Would highly recommend. Make sure to bring a towel and water shoes for the waterfall and good shoes with good trekking bottoms for the other two excursions.

A must in La Fortuna - I would definitely recommend this excursion if you go to La Fortuna! Pick up and drop off went very smoothly. Our AirBNB was not listed in the provided box but I messaged the company our location and they knew where we were and provided a time for pickup. They arrived promptly at that time! Mario did an amazing job on this tour! He was able to point out a lot of local flora and animals throughout the several parts of this trip. He had a great sense of humor and made the trip fun even when it was wet hot and then rainy later. The lunch provided was a Costan Rica classic dish and was very good. There were waters supplied but no snack so if you want snack I would recommend packing them. Overall, my husband and I had a great time and would highly recommend.

Awesome Excursion! - This excursion was so much fun! Kenya was our guide and she was amazing - so knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. She also double checked to make sure we had everything we need for the day before we left. Definitely wear good hiking shoes and bring a poncho. We got to see awesome wildlife thanks to Kenya’s keen eye. The lunch was good - a large plate of casado. I got the fish option (tilapia) which was great. Would absolutely recommend!

Mixed bag - An interesting mix of 5 and 1 stars. The great, all 5 stars: Mario our guide was outstanding. Mauricio our driver was great. The hanging bridges of Mistico were our favorite in CR. The waterfall was a blast, but I highly recommend you stretch first. Our calves were sore for days! The volcano hike had great views. The whole thing was family friendly.
The not so great: Pickup was a few minutes late, then we had to wait on the side of the road for a taxi bringing a woman they forgot to pickup earlier. The excursion says it has cold bottled water and snacks were included, so we didn't bring. The tour operator forgot to put the water on the bus so we had to buy our own. They looked at us like we were crazy when we asked about the snacks. None. Most of the tours seemed to cap at 10 people. We assumed that would be the case here as well since the listing described transport by air-conditioned minivan. Transport was by bus and there were 20 of us. The numbers were annoying at Mistico, but not such a big deal for the waterfall or volcano. We thought the numbers were shrinking since some folks only purchased the early part of the tour, but they picked more people up along the way.
Conclusion? Definitely do the activities (though maybe over 2 days, not 1). If you can find a way to get Mario as your guide, do it. This tour operator? Maybe not perfect.
