Recommend! - The trip was amazing!! The waterfall was beautiful, the hike up to the volcano viewpoint was a nice length (and the information from the guides was very interesting!), and the hot springs were my favourite part! A very relaxing end to a long day 🏊 Sergio and Norland were both amazing guides and looked after us the whole time😁

Amazing adventures - Full day of amazing adventures with the best guide anyone could ask for, Sergio. Very knowledgeable about all aspects of the trip, showed us many things we would never see on our own. He was very funny, and entertaining. The trip took all day from morning to night, and we did around 7.5 miles total with waterfall, hanging bridges, volcanoe and hot springs. Highly recommend booking with this company!

For the Best Time Go with Sergio, Sergio, Sergio! - My husband and I came across a small tourist desk at like 10 pm and the following morning we were picked up and had the greatest day of our honeymoon. Sergio was the best! He took his time showing up every animal on our hike. He was so knowledgeable and taught us about different plants, animals, volcanoes, and the history of La Fortuna. He was very attentive and kept track of us all, our questions were answered, our safety was a priority, and we had SO MUCH FUN! The food was wonderful and the waterfall was an incredible experience. The hot spring he took us to was the best. We went to another one that was also nice but this one was much better although it was a bit more crowded. We went when it was getting dark and it was very relaxing. Honestly the only thing I would've done different would be spending a little less time on the hanging bridges and a bit more time at the hotsprings. But over all I really can't say enough good things about this tour. I am sure all of the guides are great but if you can, make sure to go with Sergio!

They were so attentive and knowledgeable of the area and the animals, Mickel helped us spot tucans, sloths, birds, lizards, poisonous snakes and safely guided us thru our hike and waterfall. It was an amazing experience and I 100% recommend.

The Best Highlights of La Fortuna!!! - I did several tours during my trip through Costa Rica, and this all inclusive day tour of La Fortuna was hands down the BEST one of my trip! It was a jam packed day, but boy was it packed full of adventure! This tour was filled with all of the best highlights of Fortuna! The short hike to La Fortuna Falls was definitely a heart pumper with all of the stairs, but absolutely worth it in the end. The falls were beautiful and flourishing. We did get a little time to get in if we wanted to, but I skipped it since I wanted to be sure that I made it back to the bus on time. After Fortuna Falls, we hiked to the top of Arenal Volcano! This hike definitely let me know that I was out of shape. However, Johnny was EXCELLENT in pointing out beautiful birds and unique plants and trees during our hike here. He also educated us some neat rocks and elements before we started. We were lucky to be able to see a small portion of the volcano, but it was super cloudy. The lunch was actually really tasty and filling. I had the tilapia with rice, beans, and salad and also enjoyed the iced tea. Next, we visited Mistico Park where we crossed over several hanging bridges and where Johnny spotted a ton of animals with his naked eye! Honestly, we wouldn’t have seen all of these animals without his help. We saw, monkeys, lizards, and all sorts of birds. The hanging bridges were unique. My favorite part of the trip was ending it at the natural hot springs. It was dark and the little trail seemed gnarly at first, but then it revealed the most stunning natural hot springs! I wish I could have taken pictures, be we were advised to not take our phones. The water felt amazing! It was a long day trio and I was exhausted afterward, but I would 100% do it again! Johnny was stellar! You will be so lucky if you get him as your tour guide! Exceptional tour all around!
