Highlights
- Arenal Volcano - This is a unique opportunity where you can hike around an active volcano! Don’t worry, it’s not throwing lava anymore but it certainly left the lava trails where you will be walking around and be as close from this colossus and everything it represents such as the rainforest, home of animals, culture, amazing views and fascinating history!

The most knowledgeable guides! - Our guide Marvin was so great at both spotting wildlife and providing fascinating information about the Arenal volcano and the unique ecosystems of the area. He is especially great with kids and created several interactive mini lessons throughout our hike to keep our young ones engaged. He’s also a great photographer!

The best tour company in La Fortuna! - Wow, where do I start? Rainforest Explorers is simply the best tour company we have ever worked with. We loved our customized half day tour of the Mistico Hanging Bridges followed by an authentic Costa Rican picnic lunch, and then another half day tour of Arenal Volcano followed by a walking tour in La Fortuna and lunch at the very best soda - La Casa de La Hormiga. The highlight of our experience was our guide, Francisco. He blew us away with his depth of knowledge of the geology, flora, and fauna of the region. We learned so much from him and can't imagine how different the experience would have been had we not had such a knowledgeable and experienced guide. We loved our time with Francisco and everyone associated with Rainforest Explorers and feel like we made new friends in Costa Rica! This family operated company is so customer service focused and provides you with the most memorable experiences that you will keep for a lifetime. I can't recommend them more highly!

An Amazing Journey - Fran, Anita and Jorge were wonderful guides. They were polite, knowledgeable and easily able to communicate in Spanish and English. They offered fascinating insights into natural history, biology and Costa Rican history. The lunch served was incredible and the pace of the day's events were very manageable. It was a wonderful experience which we'll highly recommend to friends and family. Muchas gracias y pora vida!

What an amazing tour! It... - What an amazing tour! It was a full day of hiking so be prepared but it is worth it! We had 3 kids ages 5, 10, and 11 and the guide was amazing with them! We started our day at Mistico bridges and there is no way we would’ve seen 20% of the animals without Isaac, our guide. He would find something and set up his scope and show us. He was so accommodating to our kids and answered every question a kid could have. We then went to La Fortuna waterfall, which was gorgeous. Then to their HQ for lunch that was prepared by the family there. It was SO good! After lunch, and coffee, we went to the volcano trails. There we hiked up and learned all about the volcano. Definitely book this tour with this company if you want to do these 3 things. It was such a fun day!

There's an Arenal Tour and then there is a Arenal Tour with Mau - We were very fortunate to be matched up with Mau for this excursion. While I'm sure I would have enjoyed the Hanging Bridges, La Fortuna Waterfall and the lava flows without Mau, I would have missed so much and had not nearly the memorable experience I did with him.
Mau and Johan were friendly and worked to provide us the best experience possible. We stopped several times along the road when fauna, especially sloths, were found, so we could get a better view. Mau consistently broke out his trusty monocular to allow us to get incredible views. And he would even take pictures on his phone through the monocular and sent them to us at the end of the trip.
The Hanging Bridge excursion needs to be done with a guide, specifically a guide with the knowledge and dedication of Mau. Mau was able to point out several animals that I would have never seen without pointing them out. Several passerby stopped to hear him speak and get information during the trail. At each of our stops and en route to our next spot, Mau would tell us all about his country and the land as well as answer any questions we had.
Also included with this excursion is a lunch stop at essentially a "soda" so you can try a typical casado (plate with meat or fish, rice and beans, piccadillo, plaintain and tortilla) which was one of the better meals we had.
Do yourself a favor and book Mau or at least Rainforest Explorers to get the most out of your tour experience

Excellent All Day Tour! - What a wonderful experience! Our guide, Isaac, and driver, Edgardo, were both very professional and so knowledgeable. Isaac’s ability to spot wildlife was incredible! We saw so much more than we could have seen without his expertise. The lunch provided was an experience in itself! The traditional Costa Rican cuisine and was delicious. Even our hard to please teenagers were impressed. I highly recommend Rainforest Explorers!

Our Best Day in Costa Rica - We thoroughly enjoyed our combination tour of hanging bridges, Aernal Volcano and the waterfall. Edgar and Francisco were incredible. It was very clear they wanted us to have the best experience. I was a bit worried the tour would be too long for our kids but they were engaged the entire time. The breaks between activities with food recharged everyone’s batteries for the next tour. The pick up was so convenient. This was our favorite day of the trip.

“Great Experience with an Amazing Guide, but One Disappointment” - We had a wonderful experience with Rainforest Explorers, and overall everything was beautifully organized. Our guide, Francisco, was truly outstanding—patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout our tour. He helped us explore the La Fortuna area in the best possible way. The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I had requested a special surprise in advance, and although Ileana confirmed something would be arranged, nothing was prepared, which was quite disappointing and unexpected for us. Aside from that, we were highly satisfied with the tour.
