Great all day excursion with a little bit of everything! - The tour starts off with going to a butterfly garden then they take you over to the waterfall, which takes around 20 minutes to get there walking on a trail in the rainforest! You can hang out by the waterfall for an hour or so take some pictures. Highly recommend water shoes because the rocks will hurt your feet if you’re barefoot. They do not provide you with towels, so keep that in mind. The waterfall they give you some pineapples to eat and they take you to a local native Costa Rican family village. When you’re at their village, you’ll be able to buy some handmade crafts and souvenirs. They will teach you a little bit about their culture and their native Costa Rican language. After that, you will go on a small hike on the volcano trail be able to take some pictures and enjoy the nature while the tour guide tells you all about the history The volcano. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to see the volcano because of how misty it was and how rainy it was so definitely planned for your trip to be on a clear sunny day or else you won’t be able to see all of the volcano has to offer. They do take you to a Hot Springs where you can hang out for around an hour, but it’s not a natural hot spring spring. It feels more like an all inclusive resort With nine different temperature pools and you can also buy drinks and snacks at the bar. I was expecting more of a natural Spring in the nature, but unfortunately, it Was just some warm/hot pools.

wonderful people, beautiful location, great value - The courtesy and drive to provide a good experience is apparent before this tour even starts, as Red Lava will fully provide transportation to the destination and pick you up (they were patient even when my group was a few minutes late to meet them). Our guides were a group of friendly, extremely knowledgeable locals who taught us so much and were easy to form a connection with (they speak both English and Spanish depending on your group’s language skills). I’ll especially shoutout Eric who guided my group of seven through the tour. The experience wouldn’t have been the same without him, and I thank him for his hospitality, knowledge, and genuine passion for the environment of Costa Rica. We got lucky and saw a lot of wildlife that would’ve been hard to spot without Eric, including sloths, spider monkeys, many different birds, and tiny spiders. The range of experiences provided after the hike are great too, including a provided lunch and an hour at a hot springs resort. I couldn’t believe how much I was getting for the price I paid as the day progressed, because it was pretty packed. You should realize going into the tour that you will get damp from the rainfall, the uphill hiking can be a bit challenging, and you will get dirty going through some terrain. But if those things don’t bother you too much this is perfect and I’d recommend it to anyone who visits La Fortuna.

Wonderful experience with amazing and lasting memories!! Thank you so much! We had a great time!!!! - We had a magnificent time! We enjoyed the guides and their knowledge of the area. We learned so much and enjoyed the day immensely!

Sister Costa rica - Big thank to Emmanuel you where very good guide really interesting and we really enjoying the tour thanks again 🥰

creating memory - It was a memorable experience and good treatment. The guides were Diego, chris and Jacob, very friendly.

A great trip - well worth the value. - A great trip - well worth the value. It was a long day, and the volcano and waterfall hikes had a lot of steps, so be prepared for that. The guides were very knowledgeable and we got to see some unique wildlife on the hikes. Our lunch was a nice buffet - better then just sandwiches.

Incredible La Fortuna Experience - If you are contemplating this tour this is your sign to do it! My friends and I had limited time in La Fortuna and I truly felt we got to see the highlights, learn about the culture, and meet the local animals! Our tour guides Frank and Jacob were incredible — very enthusiastic tour guides and were equally as entertaining as the actual tour. I’m so thankful I did this and would certainly recommend it! You get SO much out of it for the price! Lunch was delicious.

Wonderful full day! - We had a fantastic full day experience! Amazing weather and every portion of the tour was unique and great. Our tour guide Eric was one of a kind and added so much to our day. 10/10 would recommend! The only thing I would change was the included meal. My vegetarian daughter only got rice and beans and went on for more and they wouldn’t let her. She got so much less than others to begin with so it would have been nice if she could have gotten a little more rice and beans.

Amazing Highlights of Arenal. - We had a great time on this tour. It was a busy day but Franklin, Christian and Emmanuel made it amazing. We had enough time to spend at the waterfall and also enough time during the arenal mountain lava hike to admire the beauty of the mountain and its vegetation. The hot springs at the end of day was a great bonus after all the hiking.

It’s ok - Pretty cheap for an all day tour. But most of it is filled with hiking/walking to sites that you can just do by yourself (especially if you have a car). The tour guides are 5/5, absolutely, but the actual tour itself I would give 3/5. The tour bus was packed; even in the bus aisle we pulled out attached chairs to sit people down the aisle. We broke up into small groups, but that was only for the first hike. The rest was a big tour group altogether. The hot springs at the end was basically a water park where you have several manmade pools you can swim in. Overall great value for your money, but not something I would do again or recommend to family.
