Party of 13 with ages ranging from 14-78… our guides Marvin and Diego were knowledgable, friendly, funny and excellent communicators. Chachi drove us safely from place to place. This tour is well worth it… it included lunch as well. We had an amazing time. Bring water shoes, hiking shoes, water bottle and bathing suit under or you can change there. Bring some cash to purchase something at the indigenous stop. Thermal water were the perfect end to our day along with an alcoholic beverage. Pura Vida!!!

Our guides Juan (Rasta) and Erol were fantastic! Super informative and impressive tour. The waterfall and views of Arenal were amazing. They also showed us many cool animals. Highly recommend!

Well organized and very friendly guides who were so knowledgeable and explained everything really well. The tour is well worth your time and money.

Fantastic tour! Santiago was very knowledgeable and really adept at spotting animals. We learned a lot! The river and waterfall were spectacular, but Santiago really made the tour extra fun with telling us about the flora/fauna while we hiked.

We had such an amazing experience with red lava tours. Our guides - Franklin, Uriel, and Max were very friendly, knowledgable and made the trip such an incredible experience. They made every moment feel like we were family. They made it so we all feel comfortable and made sure we all had a great time. This tour is definitely worth every single penny! The amount of things you do for thier price is incredible. They always ensured our safety and always were patient with us. These 3 men have to be your tour guide ! If not, you are missing out on such a beautiful costa rican experience.

On the morning we visited the Fortuna falls and on the return stopped to visit a “traditional” village and see their wares which they were selling. There was delay for lunch, waiting for tables to clear, eventually we were seated for lunch. Pickup to finishing lunch took over 6 hours, far too much hanging around and killing time. In the afternoon we visited Mirador del Silencio to see the lava fields and volcano. Nice views and we were lucky to have clear skies and to see the volcano. Then on to a thermal park with a quick stop to see a pair of sloths. The afternoon was far better paced than the morning. One big complaint, this was sold as a small group trip (max 14) but for most of the day we have 22 people and two guides. As you would expect, every stop then took longer to round people up.

This was an exceptionally well-organized and truly unforgettable experience! For those tracking their activity, expect to climb around 70 floors in elevation—my  Watch confirmed the impressive workout. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment, from the breathtaking waterfalls to the exhilarating volcano hike. The included lunch was a delightful and much-needed break, perfectly timed to recharge us for the rest of the adventure. Highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking a blend of natural beauty, physical challenge, and seamless organization! Seeing some bats and Fer-de-Lance by the waterfall were some surprise wildlife sightings thanks to the guides who showed them.

Overall a nice day with plenty to see. Alex was an excellent guide who made the day an interesting experience showing a diversity of Costa Rica. We were picked up from our hotel in the center of San Jose at 5:50 am and we were brought back to the hotel at 9:45 pm..... a very long day. There were many interesting stops along the way with plenty of picture taking opportunities. We were lucky that there were no clouds around the Arenal Volcano. We were told that often it is difficult to actually get a good view of the Arenal, which would be a dummer after the long drive. We had not brought bathing suits and therefore we spent our time at the hot springs at the bar. In fact, at the top of the hot springs we had the best view of the Arenal. The stop at the Indian Village was not interesting and personally I would have preferred that dinner was skipped to get us back to the hotel earlier. While Alex was bright and alert till the end of the tour, I wonder whether it was safe for him to be driving us all day through long and winding mountain roads. His day must have been must have been at least 17 hours long, with well beyond 10 hours of driving. As mentioned, Alex did not show any signs of fatigue, but it is an accident waiting to happen. That is why I deleted one star from what overall was a nice day.

We had a wonderful time! I have two teenage sons and we enjoyed the waterfall hike, volcano hike, indigenous visit, Costa Rican lunch, and hot springs at the end of the day. Our guide was so informative and we learned so much! Highly recommend!

Highly recommend this tour to anyone planning a visit to the La Fortuna area. Our guides Juan (Rasta) and Erol were fantastic - so friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. This was a great tour to see and experience much of what La Fortuna has to offer in one day. Being picked up and dropped off from where we were staying was also fantastic!

Our guide, Orennol (sp?), never stopped informing us of all the flora around us or taking us on extra excursions that led us to see Howler monkeys, Spider monkeys, Sloths and Tree Frogs. It ended with a great relaxing hour soaking in the Hot Spring.

We had an amazing time on this tour. The guides were very knowledgeable and funny. We had Diego, Miguel and another gentleman with a gray beard (I forgot his name sorry). They spaced everything out perfectly and found some amazing animals to view. I highly recommend the whole experience.

Great tour, lots of different things to do. Carlitos our guide was very knowledgeable and great at spotting wildlife, we saw many different things, got great pictures and had a good day!

Great hike and great guide! Emmanuel is so knowledgeable and talented at spotting wildlife that you would NEVER have seen on your own. Thanks for a great day!!!

Our guide, Diego, was the best! He was very knowledgeable and a wonderful person to lead us. The adventure was all day and worth every penny. Thank you for showing and telling us all about Costa Rica! The sights were phenomenal!
