Wonderful tour, skip dinner 😉 - We had a great experience with our guide Mario. Not only he took us to see beautiful landscapes and animals, but he also took time to share experiences and knowledge that enriched our tour. If you're planning to go to the Baldi hot springs don't forget to bring a change of clothes. Also, the lockers at Baldi are quite small, we advise you to bring a small backpack/bag. At the Baldi hot springs you can have a drink while in the water, the bar is inside the pool, so maybe bring a plastic bag to keep the money (you can only pay cash). The package includes the dinner, therefore we were expecting something special. Unfortunately, the dinner was a buffet, not many choices, close to zero veggie options, soft drinks and alcoholic beverage not included. We'd preferred to have just the Baldi entrance included and left the choice to stay at the restaurant (yes, there's a nice restaurant in addition to the buffet) or to eat somewhere else. All in all great tour, don't include the dinner.

Great value for 12 hours of adventure - Always go for a guided tour when visiting La Fortuna. Not only do you have a better chance to see wildlife (the guides tell each other where they've spotted different animals) but the amount of information on everything from flora and fauna to local recommendations makes it even more worthwhile! Mario was very professional, and had lots of fun stories and wasn't afraid to joke around at our expense (in the best way!) He also kept the mood lighthearted when the rain came in, which lifted everyone's soggy spirits.

Unforgettable!!❤️ - My first experience in Costa Rica, and it was the best. Our guide was excellent, but our driver Mauricio was the best. He picked us up in San José to drive 3 hours to La Fortaleza. We always feel safe. A hug to all, we brought beautiful experiences to the island of charm. 🇵🇷

anniversary trip - Our guide Mario was very kind, he helped us see many animals on the hanging bridges, something that we would not have been able to see if we had gone alone, he even stopped at one point to see a sloth!! The truth is that everything was incredible...I do recommend taking a tour for the first time...greetings from Mexico and again thanks to Mario

A must do! - This trip was amazing & Roy, our guide, was incredible! He pointed out so many animals that we’d never spot & even pulled over to show us a sloth we passed while driving when we didn’t see one in the forest. Lunch & dinner included were great! & soaking in the hot springs after an active day was awesome. This is definitely a must do when visiting La Fortuna!
