This is a nice 3-part tour of the volcano area. The tour guide was fantastic and we had a good driver as well. Our guide made sure to answer all of our questions, explain the history and stop and show us the wildlife. If your stay is short as was mine, I highly recommend this tour and make a full day to see it all.

Wilbert was a fantastic...
Matt_P, Apr 2024
Wilbert was a fantastic guide. Without him we would not have seen most of the wildlife that we saw. Swimming in LaFortuna waterfall was a lifelong memory. The hanging bridges tour was right out of a storybook. My 6 year old son loved the tour of the 1968 dry lava bed the most. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone seeking adventure but It’s a lot of walking and steps.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
We are very happy to hear that you had a great experience in the full day tour, and thank you for your feedback in regards Wilbert. We really appreciate your recommendation. Pura vida !! we hope to see you soon...

One of the best parts of our trip! Our tour guide, Angelica, was very friendly and knowledgeable. In addition to the beautiful scenery, she shared a lot of information about the history of Costa Rica, the plant and animals and what’s happening currently in Costa Rica.

Great Tour
Timothy_B, Apr 2024
This was a great experience! Will was a Terrific Guide. He was very knowledgeable and very personable with all of the travelers. We did the package that included the Hanging Bridges, the Waterfall, the Volcano Hike, and Lunch. We were picked up exactly at 7am and dropped off before 4pm. The hikes aren’t too strenuous, but there are a lot of stairs up and down to the waterfall, so I’d say that was the most physical thing of the day. We saw two types of monkeys, a wild pig, various birds, lizards, and insects, and one tiny snake. Overall it was a great tour. We had plenty of time to enjoy each experience. I’d definitely recommend it.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hello !! It's great to hear that you had a very good experience on our Full-day tour, and you were able to see lots of wildlife. Will, and like all our team, is very passionate about what he does. We really appreciate your recommendation. Pura vida!!

Khushboo_M, Apr 2024
We had an amazing time during this tour. Anjelica was the most wonderful tour guide. She was very knowledgable about the flora and fauna of the area and she kept the group upbeat and excited at all times. We saw some spider monkeys, blue jean frogs, vipers and other cool creatures during our walk on the hanging bridges. The waterfall was extremely refreshing and the views after the volcono hike were breathtaking. I highly recommend this tour.

10/10 We Loved This Tour!!
Cheryl_K, Apr 2024
I can’t say enough good things about this tour! Our family of 6 (2 adults 4 kids ages 8-17) thoroughly enjoyed every minute. We were picked up at our hotel by Diego & driver, picked up one more amazing person at the meeting spot & commenced on a fabulous day. It rained almost the whole day but we absolutely loved it all! We were unprepared but there were ponchos at several places, plenty of restrooms, & opps for shopping if you like souvenirs. Diego is a natural. He was so fun to be with-very knowledgeable & funny to boot. He loves his country -it was evident all day & so contagious. We did a lot of tours on our trip & this was top of the list. You’ll love your day on this tour!

Tips
Jill_L, Apr 2024
A few tips. 1. You can leave your items in the van during stops. 2. Gym shoes like Brooks are the best shoes for the hanging bridges & volcano tour. For the waterfall Keens or Chacos work well. They (Hanging Bridges owners) make you sign a waiver if you don't have closed-toed shoes for the hanging bridges. 3. snacks and drinks are available for purchase before & after all stops. 4. You can purchase sodas at the lunch stop. Water and juice are included. 5. You don't need to bring any water. They provided water bottles before and after all activities. 6. The 500 steps at the waterfall are manageable, but walking back up was somewhat unpleasant. 7. The water at the waterfall is very cold. Also, you don't need to bring many towels. They aren't provided, but I packed 5 and could have gotten by with 2. 8. There was wifi available at the waterfall & possibly the hanging bridges. 9. The volcano trail was partially shady. You still need sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen, but there was some relief from the sun.
