You will not be bored! - Amazing trip! Harlem our guide and Will our driver were great as well! Very good pace and you will not be bored. Didn’t have time for breakfast and we stopped to try some tortillas which held us over for lunch. Zip lining was so fun and the hot springs had a bar! Would definitely book a trip with Harlem again 👍🏻

Memorable - The operator was easy and quick to communicate with on messages! We missed our flight connection and so missed our tour but they so kindly offered us an alternative date and a different pick up point a couple of days later! We were so so grateful. Thank you!! Our tour guide Harlem was very welcoming and was very engaging with my two young boys. They also dropped us off at our hotel on the way back . The zip lining was a real adrenaline rush! And the hot springs very relaxing. It was a highlight also for my 8&11 yr olds. We missed the first half of the day but Harlem shared his amazing photos with us which were amazing! Thanks again! Hope to be back in costa rica soon

Thank you Fernando!!! - Fernando, our driver was amazing! He was informative, intuitive, energetic and very sweet. Would highly recommend. This tour only sees the volcano. You don't go on the volcano. The restaurants Fernando picked were top notch! Loved it. You do get a towel at the hot springs, so no need to bring one.

Day trip success! - First time going to Costa Rica so my gf and I decided to try a day trip. So glad we did with this company. Our guide was Omar. Honestly, Omar was the best guide we had. He handled a group of, including us two, 9 people on the day trip. Omar was fun and informative with our activities and stops. He was professional and charismatic, got along well with the group. He ensured that we would be able to enjoy our day without a fuss. From the coffee shop, iguanas, zip line and hot springs. It was an amazing experience for sure. Lunch and dinner were delicious. Omar will make sure you are taken care of. Despite getting back to our hotel late, he got us there safely. I appreciate you Omar, I hope you get to read this, thank you so much for the day you gave us. Pura Vida

Not worth it - Did not see any waterfalls or the volcano. Went to a hot swimming pool that was labeled as hot springs. What a joke. Highlight was the ziplining
