Wonderful! - Fantastic excursion! We did the hanging bridges and waterfall tour. The day went very smoothly. There was some communication issues regarding our pick up spot as Viator sent messages regarding pick up at a different location, but we had arranged pick up at our hotel with the operator. This caused some anxiety, but our hotel staff helped with communication and all was well. Albert was a wonderful, very knowledgeable guide. The rainforest was beautiful. We are in our early 60's, and not in terrible shape, but also not the best. The path is an easy walk and the bridges are not difficult to cross. They bounce, but i never felt at risk. The waterfall was gorgeous. God's beauty moved me to tears. There are 465 steps down AND back up. So be ready for that. There are places to rest on the way though. To swim near the falls there are large rocks to navigate. (I am not to proud to crawl when necessary!) There is a calmer more accessible area to swim if you turn left from the stairs. (The fish don't bite.) If you do this, swim around the corner to get the most spectacular view of God's creation.

It was great! Your guide... - It was great! Your guide was very fun, nice, and professional. Lots of walking! There were pretty big stairs in the beginning of the volcano course and 500 stairs for the waterfall portion of the tour. I wore chacos for the whole day, was very comfortable and appropriate.

Amazing - It was amazing. The guide team was just amazing. The service and the quality of it was just wonderful. Very understanding, polite, funny, really accommodation and friendly. They went above and beyond checking on everyone in our group of 20 people making sure everyone was ok. Thank you for keeping us safe, explaining everything, sharing your history with us and for giving us such a wonderful experience.

Amazing. Do it. - We did the 4 activities, and it was worth it. A full day of being outside with a relaxing evening in the hot thermal baths to end the day. We had considered doing the Hanging Bridges, waterfall and Volcano ourselves, but in the end, with the cost of entrances fees and the cost of food, the price of this tour was worth it (2 meals were included). We would have missed a lot of fauna at the bridges without our guide (and we got great photos included in the price). Hearing the volcano stories from a local was a chilling experience. Recommend 100%. Mainor was a fantastic guide.

Great all day excursion for a short stay - This tour allowed us to maximize our short time in LaFortuna. The price was great, and we saw everything. Staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. Be warned, there is a lot of hiking and it can be a long and exhausting day. But if you want to see highlights of the area without a lot of time, it’s worth it. The company was great and offered us a great day.

Great tour - Tour was perfect! Pickup from our hotel was easy. Tour guide was awesome & knowledgeable. Saw birds, blue Jean frogs, snakes, lizards & bats. Hanging bridges were fun. Over 500 steps down to waterfall. Water was cool but not freezing. Steps back up were a little more challenging but not too bad. Lunch was surprisingly delicious! Hike to volcano was amazing!

Great variety. Guide with us always - Full climb of Arenal not permitted. Did climb up for a better view. be prepared for stairs and many lava rocks on a narrow trail. 500 steps down to and back up to the waterfall. Baldi Hot springs was the best in the area. Baldi buffet dinner was 2 stars - not great. No seafood. No french fries. Long lines. Store tasting, limited desserts. Guides provided good background information.

Ecotours did a great job... - Ecotours did a great job with our three activities. Our guide did an excellent job taking us up to Arenal volcano, down to the La Fortuna waterfall and through the hanging bridges at Mistico Park. He was quite knowledge! The only downfall (no pun) is that it poured rain for much of the 10 our trip, therefore it was challenging to spot wildlife. We did see one sloth! Our guide was also a great photographer! He sent us high quality photos of the wildlife we did see. Recommend this trip, but check the weather if you’re able first!.
