Perfect Way to See the Fortuna Area - Wonderful experience. The guide was knowledgeable, the locations beautiful, and the lunch delicious. Be prepared for a lot of physical activity - we definitely felt it the next day, but it was totally worth it.

Lovely tour - The whole day was enjoyable. You get your moneys worth on this tour! Volcán hike, hanging bridges with wildlife spotting, local lunch, and the waterfall! Will was such a wonderful bilingual tour guide. He made conversation with everyone, had a lot of knowledge about the local flora and fauna, and made us all feel included. They also picked me up at my hotel since I was traveling sans car, and this was seamless.

Full day of hiking and adventure - Full tour day exploring three different sites - Hanging Bridges, Arenal Volcano hike & La Fortuna Waterfall. Our tour guide, Wilbur, was excellent! Pay attention to the email/message they send you about what to bring! The weather can go from sunny to rain in an instant so be flexible and bring rain gear (a jacket or umbrella). A few tips for travelers:
- Make sure you note your pick up hotel and time will be sent to you the day before. They were great about communication via WhatsApp.
- Bring a swim suit - you’ll have time to change.
- Bring a reusable water bottle. No food allowed at the Hanging Bridges so keep your snacks on transport.
- Our first stop was the Hanging Bridges. It’s about a 2 mile walk up and down that is pretty easy and nicely paced. The bridges have beautiful views & are very safe. Take your camera to see sloths, spiders, snakes, frogs, birds, etc. Wil was excellent at pointing out wildlife and plants.
- Volcano hike - a little more of a moderate 2 mile hike up and down some rocky terrain at times. Wear good shoes! Nice volcano views at the top!
- lunch was provided and you can change into swim wear at the restaurant.
- La Fortuna Waterfall - be prepared for stairs and unpredictable weather! What an adventure - 500 steps down to the waterfall. The water is strong and the rocks can be slippery. Water shoes can be useful. As soon as we got in the water, the lifeguards called us out due to a flash flood. They mean business & the waterfall suddenly got very forceful! Beautiful to see and glad we got out safely. Don’t forget the 500 steps back up. Steps are even and there are places to rest and pause.
Overall it’s a great day & adventure! Just don’t be disappointed if the weather comes and goes - it is the rainforest after all!

Magical Tour in La Fortuna - We had a wonderful time on this tour. Be aware, it’s lots of walking so plan accordingly. We walked through the hanging bridges park while it was raining, which made the experience more beautiful and magical.
We saw plenty of wild life from sloths, frogs, tarantulas, pigs, different birds, and different ant species.
At the waterfall, they have a zone down the stream where you can swim with rainbow trout. The entire tour was wonderful. I wouldn’t recommend for people with mobility issues. The waterfall alone has approximately 500 steps you have to walk down to the waterfall, then back up to the parking lot.

Exploration - Jose took us hiking around Mistico Park and Arenal Volcano, where he shared fascinating insights about the animals and local history. He was very knowledgeable and even captured amazing photos of both us and the wildlife. Midway through the day, we stopped for a delicious traditional lunch before continuing our adventure. Jose kept the experience lighthearted with his jokes and made sure we fully enjoyed the waterfall (which turned out to be surprisingly cold!). It was a full and rewarding 8 hours—quick in how it flew by, but packed with experiences. I had an amazing time and highly recommend it!

This tour was absolutely... - This tour was absolutely incredible! Our guide, Juan Carlos, and driver, Argenis, made the experience unforgettable. Juan Carlos was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife—he pointed out sloths, monkeys, spiders, toucans, and so much more with such detail and enthusiasm. Walking through the hanging bridges was magical, and the waterfall was truly breathtaking. On top of it all, the food was a solid 10/10. Everything about this tour was well organized, safe, and full of adventure. Highly recommend to anyone visiting—you won’t regret it
