Highly recommend if on short trip! - This is a fun filled day with lots of stops but great sights to see along the way. Chris and Steven were great tour guides. The food and all the stops were great! The only thing I would say was kind of not amazing was the zip line crew, some were great and others seemed annoyed to have to help you. Otherwise, everything was amazing, just be prepared for the very long ride back!

10/10 would recommend! - Had an amazing time! Alex was an expert and super fun. He bought us fruit, and made a lot of stops so that we could take photos and admire the amazing views (on top of what was already offered on the tour). We even saw some baby sloths! As a solo traveler, I felt like I was in good hands the entire time :)

Pura Vida All the Way! - Our tour guide, Fernando, was absolutely fantastic—both entertaining and incredibly knowledgeable! I learned so much about Costa Rica throughout the day. Although we didn’t get to see the volcano due to cloudy weather (no fault of anyone’s—just nature doing its thing), the experience was still 100% worth it. The tour was a full-day adventure packed with great food—both lunch and dinner were delicious. Shoutout to Brian and Richard at the ziplining area—they were awesome and made that part even more fun. Highly recommend this tour. Solid 10/10!

Good experience - Fernando was an excellent driver and guide, very friendly, helpful and attentive to everyone. The tour is long, I recommend breakfast before because it is several hours walk and several stops until lunch. We did not get to see the volcano because of the weather, but the hot springs very good. Regular food.
