Road trip to remember - This was the best day of our trip so far! It's a long day but every part of it was incredible. Our guides Harlem and Christen were amazing. Harlem was so knowledgeable and fun and patient .. they kept us on schedule so we could get everything we could out of the day. They spotted wildlife for us on the way too! We had great coffee and food throughout the day and saw beautiful views. The volcano view at the hot springs was especially stunning. I'm so grateful for this experience.

Great experience!! - Harlem and Carlos were very attentive all the time, excellent attitude. The tour started on time, Harlem explained all the activities in great detail and tried hard to find laziness to give us the full Costa Rica experience, I would definitely travel with them again.

Day trip to remember - We had a great day going from San Jose to Fortuna, the hot springs, waterfalls and local food. Harlem was a fantastic guide who weaved humor and information along the trip. We'd recommend this day trip to everyone visiting the area. Our group was fantastic too. Everyone connected over the course of the day.

A day to remember! Book now! - I’m so impressed by this trip and our incredible guides!! It was such a joy to travel with experienced and confident guides, they offered information on the animals, plants, and sights. We enjoyed zip lining, hot springs, hot coffee/cocktails, cultural moments, and meeting new friends. I love Chris and Harlem :)

Beautiful views!! - The hot springs were very relaxing. It was tough to see the volcano through the fog. Fernando was a great guide. He found sloths on the trip and made a stop so we could see them. The waterfall is cool. Food was ok, but not my favorite in Costa Rica.

Okay - It was an okay tour, the guide was nice but the main problem is that the guide does not keep you engaged specially on such a long ride, things like we are 10mins away from our next stop or giving us historical backgrounds or sharing intros of people onboard etc. We couldn’t view the Arenal Volcano due to severe fog. They did offer zip lining activity and hot water springs at a Hotel which we thought otherwise so sadly didn’t get to do it as we thought it would be outdoors which we don’t prefer. They need to clearly state where the Hot water springs would be at. They gave us a decent lunch and dinner.

The tour guide Steven was very nice and helpful. The van was a bit crowded. - Seeing the monkeys, iguanas, birds. Unfortunately we got a flat tire. The van could have been in better shape, no seatbelt. Coming back we hit a bit storm, foggy roads in the mountains. Was terrified.
