Best Day Ever

I highly suggest this tour! Fernando is absolutely incredible. He was very knowledgeable and informative. The day will be jammed pack with adventure!! I brought my travel neck pillow and took a few naps in the van for sure. I was nervous about such a lengthy tour. However, we would have never seen all of the sights independently. Additionally lunch and dinner were amazing! The only con for me was the ride was a little bumpy at first and I had to take something for motion sickness. However, I would totally do this tour again! 10/10! Highly recommend!!
Full day seeing the various sites of Costa Rica

Could not recommend this tour enough. From the communication beforehand about pickup through the end of the day, our tour guide Fernando was amazing. We spent a lot of time driving in the bus, but Fernando educated us on the basic history of Costa Rica along the way, in a way that was engaging and interesting. Every single stop along the way was very worthwhile and a great way to see different characteristics of the country. The food stops were well planned out and delicious, and we even got to see a waterfall and sloth! Fernando made sure my friend and I were safely dropped back off and were able to grab a taxi to get to where we wanted to go. 10/10 day!
This is one tour you don’t want to miss!!

We had an amazing tour with Francisco and Luis. They were fun, thoughtful, and informative. We definitely got more than our moneys worth! This was a fun and a knowledgeable day... we saw so much on this tour and would definitely recommend. (We saw/experienced sloths, waterfalls, local culture/cuisine, volcano, hot springs, and more…)

Our tour guides were Kenneth and Luis, who were so sweet and hilarious. Kenneth was very engaging with us and ensured we got the full experience. They were very knowledgeable with any questions we had about the tour and made the overall experience a day to remember. We stopped by many places to see the view as well as sample fruits, wines, and coffee. We saw iguanas and tried to see sloths; however, they were hiding from us the day we went. But we did see howler monkeys which was a surprise after ziplining. Due to COVID, they aren't getting paid a salary just yet, so make sure to tip them well as they work super hard, and it is their only source of income!

The best part of the trip was going by waterfalls and seeing beautiful birds. The current company they use for zip lining needs maintenance. Very Rusty. The hot springs pool was dirty. The restaurants we ate at were great. And the guide was absolutely awesome. Knowledgeable and friendly. I hope they change the zip line and hot springs companies they are currently using.

An amazing day! Francisco was terrific, showing and explaining everything. Who would think at almost 72 I zip lined through the amazing Arenal Volcano forest! Great food, good comrades along the way. Stunning wildlife, especially the birds! Thank you Francisco for making this trip so memorable.
Oscar made this tour even better than it was.

This tour was probably the best tour you can find on this site. The sheer volume of activities was astounding. From tasting the local cuisine, Ziplining in the mountains, checking out the volcano, a bunch of fun local spots to relaxing in the hot springs. It was an amazing experience. Our host Oscar was very knowledgeable very kind and a great tour guide. He even spotted a sloth and let us watch it up close with his telescope. Oscar picked us promptly at the break of dawn and was very helpful and very nice the entire time we were with him. If you're looking to do as much as you can in one day, then this is the tour for you. It's worth every penny. Highly recommend it
Great fun, informative

Great time at the adventure park
Livio_R
, Jan. 2022
The trip was great! You don't actually get to climb the volcano. You don't even get that close to it. But the adventure park was fun. The guys there however, seemed a bit rushed, so we zipped from one tree to the next with no break in between. I don't know why they seemed to be in such a hurry. It took away from the experience. But I still recommend the tour. It is not extreme, quite the opposite.
Great day trip! Highly recommend
