Great way to see La Fortuna on a compressed schedule. Minor and Luis were AMAZING tour guides, super knowledgeable about everything we saw. Luis even stayed with my aunt who had knee trouble and walked with her up and down the stairs to the waterfall, so sweet. Lunch was also really good, with a great view of the volcano!!

Top 3 combo

Maya_G, Apr 2024

Richard was a great guide. Our day started with the hanging bridges, then waterfall, lunch and ended with the volcano (I did the top 3 tour). We had the same driver/van all day which was very convenient to bring only select things on each segment of the tour. For anyone worried about the 500 steps at the waterfall, you can do it! Take it slow, there are many spots you can stop along the way. The waterfall is absolutely stunning from the bottom, I highly recommend making the trek. Lunch was surprisingly delicious. The volcano hike was a bit lackluster for me. Be sure to wear shoes with good traction as the area around the volcano is quite sandy. For those who did the tour including the hot springs, I recommend confirming with the company which hot springs you will be visiting. There was some confusion at the end of the tour as people were dropped off at different hot springs and given varying pick up times, as opposed to all sticking together like we had all day. In the end, great tour and highly recommend!

Wonderful Tour

Cindy_S, Mar 2024

We had an all day experience, starting with the Hanging Bridges where we saw so many of Costa Rica‘s animals. Our guide Elena taught us what we should not do to keep the animals safe. Don’t disturb, touch, feed, or call them. Then we went to the waterfall where we walked 500 stairs down to the water and 500 stairs up. And it was worth it! Next was a lunch where we had a traditional Costa Rican meal. Then to the Arenal Volcano. As we were walking up there, we saw a large group of spider monkeys. So very exciting! Our guide gave us history and information about the volcano. Then we went to the Baldi Hot Springs, where we enjoyed the comfortable waters. And to end our evening we had dinner. This was a wonderful tour that I would recommend to everyone.

Very informative and a really full day.

Alan_V, Feb 2024

Covering all three areas in one day was a lot. We had two different guides and one driver. They were all excellent and knew the area well. The waterfall and hanging bridges were the best. The trail for the volcano was very rugged and with the rain, kind of slick. If I were to do it again, I would do the volcano on a different day. We are good walkers, but 500 stairs on the waterfall and the volcano trail climb was pushing it, We were pretty sore the next day, but we handled it fine. Our group was two couples in our 60's.

Great Experience!

Maribel_V, Jan 2024

This was really well worth every penny. I did the four experience combo-Arenal Volcano, Fortuna Waterfall, Lunch, Mystic Hanging Bridges, Baldi Hot Springs, & Dinner. It was a long day; however, if you have the stamina for it-book it! The tour guide, Josué, was awesome.

Combo Tour of the Hanging Bridges and Waterfall

Joseph_H, Apr 2023

We love the combo tour because we could pick which activities we wanted to do,. A lot of tours offer the hanging bridges, waterfall and the volcano hike. But we are older adults and the volcano hike would have been too much for us. So being able to pick which things we wanted to do was very helpful. It was a wonderful experience and Victor our guide was excellent. Also recommend using a guide. You most likely would not see any animals without them. I have a pretty good set of binoculars and even with those I couldn't find animals unless it was pointed out by the guide.

Great way to see the highlights!

Amazing experience

Nicholas_W, Aug 2022

This was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I want to shout out our guide Antonio! He was absolutely amazing for the tour. Extremely knowledgeable about not only the history of La Fortuna and it’s natural surroundings but is an overall great to it guide. It was a long day but he took care of me and my s.o. Highly recommended!

Good trip

Riteshkumar_G, Apr 2022

Our guide was really great and knowledgeable. Overall trip was great, but being in rain forest it’s difficult to predict the weather.

A great experience

Nathan_S, Jul 2021

We had an excellent time. Our guide, Gabriel, was very knowledgeable and you could tell enjoyed what he was doing. Lunch was better than expected! I would recommend.

We were glad we went on this tour...

Chad T, Aug 2017

We were glad we went on this tour. We got the history and to see the sights but might be a little pricy for what it is. Since we were staying near the volcano we wanted to learn about it but google would have done just as good. You must see la fortuna waterfall for sure as it is beautiful!!

We did the Best of Fortuna tour...

Leonard K, Jul 2017

We did the Best of Fortuna tour. Guide was terrific and pointed out a great deal of wildlife to us that we would never have seen. Hanging bridges were magnificent. The waterfall was beautiful. The final part, the hot springs were a bit to commercial and touristy for us. Lunch was fine but dinner was very disappointing buffet was mediocre at best. All in all in was a long but terrific day. If we were to do it again we would skip the hot springs, though there were lots of people there having a good time.

Very good. Small group and guides were...

Lo mejor de La Fortuna

JAIME_V, Aug 2023

Excelente tour y excelente trabajo de nuestra guía Elena y de nuestro chofer Pedro. Visitamos los puentes colgantes donde vimos una gran variedad de vida salvaje, a continuación fuimos a la cascada La Fortuna y finalmente visitamos el Parque Nacional Volcán Arenal. El almuerzo de cocina costarricense fue también muy bueno. La recogida en el hotel fue puntual.
