Family Fun, Amazing Team, Great Lunch - Thank you to Nelson and his team for an amazing day visiting / hiking the hanging bridges, the La Fortuna waterfall, and having a wonderful Costa Rican lunch in a beautiful setting. It was amazing to see the different animals on the hike. Nelson was extremely friendly and helpful for the adults and the children on the tour. He even stopped the van on our drive to show everyone Sloths he spotted in the trees on the way back to drop us off at the hotel. I recommend this tour for anyone looking for a great day of fun at these places.

Amazing experience, fantastic guide - Fantastic tour of the hanging bridges at Mistico Park and the Waterfall! We did a private tour with José, an experienced guide who grew up in La Fortuna and has seen the changes since before the first hotels. In addition to a deep knowledge of nature and a good eye for wildlife (we saw two mother-and-baby sloths and a toucan), his tales of growing up in the area (riding a horse to school!) were fascinating.

Beautiful Costa Rica - Scenery is gorgeous but not a lot of animals. Tour guides very good and knowledgeable. Lunch was very nice.

Great way to explore the hanging bridges and waterfall to actually see the wildlife - Gustavo was an excellent guide who found flora and fauna large and small on our hanging bridges tour while teaching us about Costa Rican history. Then a refreshing dip in the Fortuna waterfall followed by lunch at their company owned farm and restaurant with fresh Costa Rican food while overlooking birds.

Highly Recommend! - What a great experience! Ronald our guide was exceptional and super smart! He was able to find animals that we never would have seen on our own. He understood all the plants and animals in such detail and was able to convey it to us all. Highly recommend

Excellent way to see the Arenal/La Fortuna highlights - Excellent way to see the highlights of the Arenal/La Fortuna area! We chose a 7 hour experience which we felt was the right amount of time -- a full day, yet not too much! Diego was our guide. He was clear in all of his explanations about what to expect throughout the day and kept a comfortable pace throughout the different experiences. Diego was skilled at spotting wildlife. We enjoyed seeing the wildlife through his high-powered scope and appreciated the photos he would take for us. The lunch was a great way to conclude the day - delicious local Costa Rican food in a nice setting. I recommend this tour company as they clearly prioritized professionalism, safety and enjoyment.

Soak in the beauty of Costa Rica! - This was an incredible day enjoying the flora and fauna of Costa Rica! Our guide, Diego, was outstanding and went above and beyond to ensure we saw all there was to see (birds, vipers, poisonous frogs, sloths, toucans, howler monkeys). His insights and explanations added to our appreciation and understanding. The transport was comfortable and the lunch was beautifully presented in a lovely setting. Highly recommended!

Un tour inolvidable - We loved the tour! We made suspension bridges, the waterfall, lunch and finally the volcano. We wouldn't have enjoyed it so much if it wasn't for Diego (Our Guide) and we went safely along the Costa Rica routes with Albania (Our driver)
