Nature Lover Combo 1

It is a combination of the tours described above. The activity starts in the morning, usually with a hike to the Arenal Volcano in the Arenal 1968 Volcano View and Lava Trails park, once this tour is finished, we move about 20 minutes to the Fortuna River Waterfall, where we will descend and the client can cool off in the crystal clear water of the waterfall. After this tour, it is time for lunch, where you will be offered the traditional Casado, which contains rice, beans, salad, mashed potatoes, fried plantain and the client can choose between fish, chicken, pork, beef or vegetarian; in addition, you will be offered a fruit juice (which varies each day). For the last tour, we will head to Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park where we will proceed with the hike into the lush forest and impressive hanging bridges.

We had an excellent...
We had an excellent experience on the excursion covering the Hanging Bridges, La Fortuna Waterfall, and Arenal Volcano. The tour itself was fantastic and really gives you a chance to experience the natural beauty of Costa Rica up close, but it’s important to be prepared for a moderate to high level of activity. This is a very active tour with a fair amount of walking and physical effort, so comfortable shoes and good stamina are definitely recommended.

The highlight of the entire day was our guide, Chino. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife that we never would have noticed on our own. He also took some truly outstanding photos for us throughout the day. It’s clear that he is passionate about his work, very talented, and genuinely cares about creating a great experience for his guests.

We also want to recognize our driver, Ronald, who was professional, attentive, and made the transportation smooth and comfortable the entire day.

Overall, this was a memorable and highly recommended tour for anyone visiting the area and wanting to experience Arenal Volcano, the La Fortuna Waterfall, and the Hanging Bridges, especially with such an exceptional guide.

Fantastic Trip
Bryan, our guide, was phenomenal! We learned so much about birds, monkeys, coati, plants, and the history of the park. The guides obviously work well together and share what they see with each other to make it more likely that you won’t miss anything. Highly recommended if you have a hard time spotting things on your own for sure. Take good binoculars to add to your own experience.

Amazing guide & views
If you do one tour while in la fortuna let it be this one! Our guide Jose (Chino) was was soo knowledgeable, he spotted so many animals and told us so many facts, he was an excellent guide couldn’t have asked for a better person. The hike at Arenal Volcano is beautiful, the views of the volcano and surrounding areas are excellent. The hanging bridges is also excellent, you see so many animals and everything is mesmerizing. Finally ending at La Fortuna waterfall for a refreshing end to your day, the 500 steps are okay going down but going up is a different story🤣 either way was absolutely worth it!

You need to do this tour
Great experience overall. Small group of nine in one vehicle going to four locations, including lunch. Due to storms, the itinerary was changed up to allow the hanging bridges park staff to clean branches. Easy walk to the volcano. Definitely need sun protection and bug protection. And wear trail runners or hiking boots. Bring water. Hanging bridges were awesome. Great views. . We saw dart frogs and lots of Spider monkeys. BTW it was evident it was mating season.The lunch was provided by the travel company at their location, but it was fresh and delicious. The waterfall was beautiful, but it was cold and Rocky to get into the water. And, about 500 steps down and then back up again. If you have orthopedic issues or carrying more than a couple pounds extra weight, I would think you would have trouble. Our tour guide, well, was great. Lots of history and knowledgeable about the ecology.
