wear closed toes shoes and rain jackets if you are going during rain season! You will prob not be able to swim in the water fall or see the volcano. (we went in august)
This was a once in a lifetime experience. Having the knowledge of experienced local guides instead of figuring it out on our own made the process so much easier and felt safer. Our guides were knowledgeable, funny, kind, and professional.
This was a really great tour. The guide really wanted to make sure we got the most out of our experience. He kept his eyes open for wildlife to see on the way, and shared a lot of really interesting and important history about Costa Rica with us. The hikes are relatively short, but there are a lot of steps up and down to the waterfall and the volcano path is fairly steep, so be prepared. The lunch was really good, and the hot springs at the end was a nice way to relax after a long day in the sun.
This tour is a great option for those who want to get the most value for their time in La Fortuna. The tour bus will pick you up right at your hotel. The guide is very knowledgable and funny. It is also a great opportunity to socialize and meet other travelers If you have your own rental car and plan to spend a long time in la fortuna then you may be better off doing individual day trips. However, i felt we had more than enough time to fully appreciate each location. Do get ready to put in effort though because the waterfall and arenal hikes are steep but fun. The one exception is the hot springs visit which is about an hour ish visit. But if you wish to stay longer you can and arrange your own transport home. Or you can use this quick trip to rest and recover so you are ready to spend more time at the springs another day. I liked the quick visit because I was too tired to stay too long because of the hikes.
Was fantastic trip with Vega! Very knowledgeable and kind, always attentive on our necessities and doubts.
We loved this day trip with Red Lava! Every detail was well planned and thought out — from the order of activities, to being provided a delicious pineapple snack after the steep ascent back from La Fortuna Waterfall. Highly recommend!
Overall fun tour of the lava flows, falls, and hot spring soak with great guides. Easy transportation, and overall a very good value (including admission fees). Be ready for a moderate to strenuous hike, with 500 stair steps to climb down and back up. it was nice to get out and see the lava flows, I was expecting to see a bit more of the volcano crater, but that is off limits by CR (Costa Rica) regulations.. It was also nice to cool down by the water falls. There are several falls in the area. It seem most of the regions is made of private reserves, not public national parks - so which tour you take will decide which falls you see. I also have to highlight lunch - if was one of my more enjoyable meals in CR for a traditional CR meal. Capping everything off in the hot spring pool was fantastic (and the drinks at the end added to enjoyment!). I believe the water is pumped up from lower depths into the curated pools. The cascade of three pools, from VERY hot, to warm was my favorite.
This excursion was 10/10 very wholesome! We did and seen so much. Melanie and Daniel was amazing!!!!
Super fun and adventurous. Tour guide Diego was amazing and so informative. Lunch was provided and was delicious as well.
Great day together with the professional gids! Absolutely worth it great combination of activities (not heavy)! Carlos explains ina great way and you are taken care of!
