5.00Excellent guided tour. 4 mile hike through Rincón - followed by a shorter hike to waterfall for swimming. Definitely for those who are capable of long walks and light stairs. The lunch exceeded expectations- there was entertainment and it was buffet style. Our family of 6 enjoyed it all. FYI the road coming in is part gravel and many pot holes- don’t be deterred.
Great variety tour at Rincon de la Vieja

5.00Shuttle to and from the 4 parts of the tour . Oliver our guide was so respectful and caring and gave us a lot of Info about the plants and animals around the volcano . He helped us get great pictures of monkeys and birds .We definitely got more out of the tour than we would have if we had gone on our own. The waterfall was amazing and we went back the next day early in the morning and had the place to ourselves . The buffet lunch was excellent in an open air restaurant with live music . The hot springs with mud was a relaxing and fun ending .
Unbelievable Tour with Oliver!

5.00Rincón de la Vieja was one of our favorite parts of the trip. We could have done the park on our own but our tour guide Oliver so knowledgeable and helped us learn so much not only about the parks, but the animals and country of Costa Rica. He was more than worth the price of admission and made it a way better experience. He also took great photos for us and helped us keep an eye out for rare animals in the park. Would definitely recommend.
Awesome trip

5.00Oliver our guide who was very caring with us. Very kind, he made sure of our comfort and safety. On the trail of the volcano we were able to observe monkeys in large numbers. We've seen fumaroles, mud pods, boiling waters from the volcano. We swam in the cold water at the foot of the Oropendola waterfall, enjoyed a very good buffet at Don Elias restaurant and finally enjoyed the Hot Springs. Fabulous!
great experience

4.00We made oropendola and hot springs with lunch included. Good experience, beautiful waterfall and very nice hot springs even if it is difficult to make the baths displayed at more than 37 ° which limits the usable spaces. Indications within domains need to be improved, the map provided is not at all in line with reality, and it is not easy to locate oneself. The buffet included is correct. However, the fact that towels are provided for hot springs and that there are locker rooms with locker is great! A nice day out
Beautiful park with lots...
