Won’t follow their own cancelation policy
Andrew_G, Apr 2024
Booked trip for 8 family members. 3 days prior to trip I canceled two of the members. Well within the cancellation period. Got charged full amount for 8 not 6. Requested refund and they refuse. Claim no report of change. Skip the scam

A must do if you are in Costa Rica. The nature was good with the rain forest and we saw several animals.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Mistico Park offers a rich environment teeming with diverse plant species, birds, mammals, butterflies, and much more. These can be closely observed from the hanging bridges along the trails and through our horseback riding experience. We hope you can visit us soon, and thank you very much for your visit!
Amazing
Madeline_R, Feb 2024
So I’ve always been afraid of heights specially bridges but to be there and the beautiful views from the Volcano to Tuscans the water fall omg I can go in about how I love visiting..
Response from Host, Feb 2024

Plants a plenty, animals few
Stephen_P, Jan 2024
The trail was very easy to follow with a few challenging portions due to the mud and rocks. The vegetation is lush and green but we didn't see any animals during our walk, maybe due to the noise of the visitors. The hot springs, the blue river and the everchanging view of the volcano from the entrance/exit were our personal highlights.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thank you for joining us! Mistico Park is a natural reserve thriving with abundant wildlife. Spotting these creatures can sometimes be challenging due to factors like natural camouflage and their activity patterns during visiting hours. They might be nearby yet remain elusive. Relying on the expertise of our guides significantly increases the chances of encountering these animals. We hope to welcome you back soon!
Great experience!!
Hooman_K, Dec 2023
Hanging bridges was great and lots of fun to see the animals. Beautiful scenery all around us and we ate at the restaurant right next to it with view of Arenal volcano. Our driver was amazing and very friendly.

Hiking Hanging Bridges
Thelma_C, Oct 2023
such a beautiful hike to the bridges, i would be properly packed with a back pack and not a purse!!!! i loved hiking up the mountains to view the gorgeous wildlife and volcanoes! My trip did not include a tour guide, it is going to a park to begin the hike with whoever you bring. I came during low season so there was barely anyone
Leisurely walk through the rainforest
Shelley_K, Aug 2023
In my opinion there are other more exciting tours, this is a nice walk through the trees! The foliage is beautiful but it gets repetitive and teenagers seemed to find the experience mediocre at best.
Breathtaking
Keren_C, Mar 2023
The hanging bridges are so cool! Such a magical experience walking through the jungle in the air. Breathtaking.
Glad we had a guide
Gerry_N, Jan 2023
Our guide, Carlos, was very knowledgeable paid attention to each guest. Driver to the venue, Andreas, was also very friendly and even stopped on our way back to show us a sloth family
Horrible customer service
Nicole_S, Jan 2023
I called the company several times and let them know I won’t be able to make it since they told me they can’t pick me up the day of. I told them to cancel it and give me a refund or at least change the date but nobody has resolved my issue or gave me a refund

Jannah_S, Jan 2023
The self guided tour was great!! We had a couple of people in our group that spotted monkeys and sloths. We also saw some Ciotes. But the hanging bridges, waterfall, and the views are all spectacular and worth every penny!! Do it! You won't regret it!
Mistico
Dwight_G, Dec 2022
I enjoyed my walk at Mistico. I made the mistake of wearing a rain jacket when it was drizzling and hot, so I was soaked, but oh well. In the end, I wish I had paid for a guide as I would have gotten a lot more from the experience.

Michelle_S, Nov 2022
We opted to not have a guide and do a self tour which I think was just fine but we didn’t see a lot of wildlife. Still an awesome hike which took us around 2 hrs (we took it slow and took plenty of pics) but the hike is not difficult whatsoever. We did the hike starting at 7:30am which was perfect because when we were leaving tour buses started pouring in.
Response from Host, Dec 2022
Thanks for joining us!. This Private Reserve is a perfect option for connecting with nature and enjoys an outdoor activity; one of the top tours in Arenal. The guided tour is the perfect option for people who want to see animals since the expert eye of the guide contributes to the sightings. The Self-Guided tour is recommended for meditation, a nature connection, and no limit walk, on your own. We are happy that you enjoyed our trails and hanging bridges Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Nice trip

Robin_V, Jun 2022
We had a really nice day visiting the hanging bridges. Our family all enjoyed spending a few hours of our day here.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Thank you for your visit! Mistico Park offers a place to meet nature through a trail in the tropical forest and the tour of six suspension bridges that allow visitors to walk above the treetops. It is a recommended activity for the whole family. In addition, we have green areas for picnics, covered kiosks with tables and chairs, and a beautiful view of the Arenal Volcano. We hope you can return soon!
Rain forest… yes please!
Karan_M, Apr 2022
After staying in Tamarindo for a few days, we wanted a taste of true Costa Rican rain forest… it was a long drive to lake Arenal and this hidden gem, the ‘hanging bridges’ near the volcano. The views alone were spectacular… add to that the true experience of a rain forest and the thrill of walking on hanging bridges 60 to a 100 feet of the ground, was amazing… we recommend!

Fun walk through the jungle.

Really enjoyed walking through the park and over the bridges. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area. Our favorite part was seeing the coatis walking around as we traversed the trail.
