While we enjoyed the tour and getting to see these sights in this way, we did not expect the group of other travelers to be so big. We traveled around in a huge bus that was completely full which was pretty overwhelming. Would have preferred a smaller group for a more intimate experience.

It ticked all the boxes. We enjoyed the waterfall, we took the easy walk in Arenal and Sergio our guide was very informative with regards the history. The hot springs were quite busy but we enjoyed them.

First off, it is NOT an easy time. The stairs at the waterfall and the hike to the Volcano is strenuous. Be prepared. That said, Norlan/Norland (sp) was our guide for the entire day. Charismatic and intelligent. He was funny, approachable and super knowledgeable. The waterfall was super scenic and the views of the hike/volcano were hampered by the rainy weather but an unforgettable experience. The lunch was very good which surprised me. We then went to the hot springs with another tour guide whose name I didn't get. Those of us who booked the entire day, We waited in the bus for 20 minutes as the guide waited on a few others from another group. We got to the springs and received no instructions. No way to reach anyone, no meet up time, nothing which in hindsight, I wish I got clarity on. After about an hour, a friend we made on the tour grabbed her stuff and told my partner and I that she was going to check. We got up and prepared as well, only to see the guide approach us and telling us that we could have gone in the area closer to him and that he was about to leave had it not been for our friend finding him and letting him know that they were missing two. That was WILDLY disappointing and irresponsible. The falls were great, the hike scenic, the springs relaxing, Norland amazing and that other guide, careless. Had it not been for the last interaction, clear 10/10..

This was such a great way to explore La Fortuna! Sergio was an amazing guide and made me laugh the entire time. They are all very caring about safety and even if you don’t make it up to the volcanic rock, you can wait at the picnic tables and still do the other activities. I recommend bringing a waterproof bag for the hot springs so you can take valuables with you as the springs are right off the side of the road and there is no parking at it for the busses. I was glad I brought hiking boots and water shoes as well! Grab an extra bottle of water for the hike as it is around 2 hours total.

This is a grueling day and the volcano hike was so much more strenuous than what was presented in the listing. Many on our tour that were younger than us were saying that as well.

This was a great experience, we got to see so much!!! Now lava rocks are slippery, so be careful, and save your glass of wine for the hot water springs, cause it’s supper relaxing!!! I would totally recommend. Catching the local bus to La Fortuna from San Jose was actually great!!

My partner and I were deciding between doing each of these alone or signing up for this tour, and we were very happy with our decision to go with the tour. The experience was the perfect see multiple things at once in La Fortuna. Each of the three experiences was different in its own way and all very enjoyable. Sergio, our guide was amazing and knowledgeable. Our tour was approximately 8AM - 4PM, and we got a lot done in those hours with time to spare to enjoy the rest of our day.

This was a wonderful experience. Had a miscommunication on pick up address but it was quickly resolved and they even sent us a driver to just come back for us. The guides were extremely helpful and did not rush us at any point when we came late. The waterfall walk is strenuous especially with the volcano hike following so be prepared. For the volcano hike there are two paths and even the “easy” path will make you pretty tired with the heat. The hot spring river was fun but wish it was more time but the volcano hike and lunch took most of the time. Overall a very pleasant experience and I’d recommend for those who want to have a planned out experience!

Great guides - really informative about nature and history of the town. Beautiful waterfall, easy hike (if you’re a hiker - others found it challenging) up part of Arenal volcano and a relaxing (but short) time in very natural hot springs. Highly recommend taking water shoes / sandals that strap on to feet for both water activities.
