Rio Celeste Hiking, Sloth Sanctuary & Llanos de Cortes Waterfall Tour
janicerT4528MB, Sep 2026
Great Tour and Guide
This tour was a big hit with our family and the most memorable experience of our trip. Rudy and Orlando were truly remarkable guides! We had some great conversations with Rudy and couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He and Orlando made sure our daughters (9 and 11) had a great experience! We loved swimming at the waterfall, seeing sloths, and the Volcano hike. Rain is almost a guarantee in the rainforest, be sure to bring a poncho. We had disposable ponchos, I would bring reusable if I did it again because the disposable just stuck to our skin. No need for water shoes on this trip. Llanos de Cortes is a short walk from the parking lot and the waterfall area is all sand. Sandals work fine there.

Arenal Volcano Experience Full-Day Tour from San Jose

This is the tour to book!
Amazing experience! Just as it was described on Cool Destinations and so much fun. You'll have plenty of time to see everything. The hot springs were my favorite part, sooo relaxing and plenty of time to spend there. The views are fantastic too. Fernando was our tour guide, he was awesome!! Lots of fun facts, very kind, and great driver.My husband and I were the only native English speakers in the tour group but knew enough Spanish that we preferred to try listening to some of the tour in Spanish. Fernando is a bilingual guide and accommodated us perfectly, speaking in a way we could understand while also keeping it fun and engaging for everyone. He also explained parts in English whenever we needed it.Also, at one point in the trip I had an upset stomach and became a little car sick (not fault of driver or any food from the trip, was just me). He was super kind about it and handled it smoothly.We all had a blast and I would absolutely recommend this trip! Everyone we interacted with was great. Huge shout-out to Fernando for making the day so great!

This trip was amazing! Our guide Fernando was so nice and he taught us a lot! My wife and I have been casually learning Spanish and he made it fun for us to practice. The sights were beautiful and the hot springs were a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. Would recommend!

Great trip! Steven was our tour guide and was fantastic. The food was good that the tour provided. The cultural show was lame though. No excitement and only lasted 3 minutes. Would still recommend this trip. But don’t get excited for the show

fernando is well experienced driver /tour guide as he’s very knowledgeable about the country and every question asked was answered willingly and informatively. He was very helpful, kind and would go above and beyond to attend to our requests . The trip in itself is more than enjoyable and worth it! loved the inclusive coffee with cheese and tortilla the delish lunch and dinner and fresh healthy fruit juices. All of it i enjoyed and made me fall in love in costa rica as well with the beautiful luscious forest volcano and plantations

Excellent, even in the pouring rain! Our guide was wonderful and we saw so much wildlife, including 4 sloths! We brought our 2.5 year old with us and he had a blast too. Do bring rain gear, better to be safe than sorry.

La Fortuna: Mistico Park Hanging Bridges Guided Tour

Love nature? This tour is for you!
We had a tour with Julio and Byron through Tripmasters. These two gentleman were top-notch and a delight. They were personable, knowledgable, and found the craziest hidden wildlife along the tour. This is a nice hike through the rain forest. I was nervous about the bridges as I am afraid of heights, but once we got to the first bridge it wasn't bad at all. The views take over and you forget you are suspended high above the forest. Julio also did a great job at calming my nerves. The views were stunning and the wildlife we saw was so cool! I liked that we happened to be there in low season and didn't have to compete with large groups of people.

Incredible, unforgettable experience!
The guided tour was phenomenal! Chris was so kind, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience so enjoyable. He spotted so many animals we never would have noticed on our own and even took great pictures for us along the way. It rained for the first hour, but it was still completely worth it. Having a guide made such a difference, and we’re so glad we did it!

Perfect!
We did the full-day excursion, our guide was Yara, very kind and very knowledgeable, she gave us good explanations in the volcano area and went out of her way to look for animals so we could observe them in the hanging bridges area. They took us to eat at Casa Luna, a highly recommended place with delicious food. Punctual and with a good vehicle, we recommend 100%.

La Fortuna Frogs and Reptiles Wildlife Night Tour 2hrs
Ericka_C, Aug 2026
Must do if you have smaller kids.
This was a must do if you have younger kids. We did the tour with our 5 year old and saw so many bugs, frogs, and butterflies. The path that you walk on is made of small rocks so not muddy and it’s a short path(1km) which is perfect for kids. The tour lasted 1.5 hours which also fit our impatient kid! Highly recommend and our tour guide Paz did a great job.
