The hanging bridges and waterfall tour was fantastic. Our guide (Jason) was particularly passionate and knowledgeable about the Forrest, animals, birds and fauna we saw. His enthusiasm made the events memorable and special. The whole day was set at a manageable pace and his 'eagle' eyes and scope enabled us to view and learn about things we would have easily passed if we had gone alone. Jason was well supported by Hyme our driver who steered us through some testing weather conditions which unfortunately cut our tour short (but we were offered a timely refund or rebooking the next day). We would thoroughly recommend this to one and all as the group was small and the 500 steps to the waterfall were gentle and easy to handle and definitely worth the effort to get there. We were taken for a traditional meal which was spectacular.

We absolutely LOVED this tour. Thanks to Oscar and Johan for making it such a brilliant day. We really enjoyed every activity but the river float was both fascinating and one of the most relaxing ways to spend a morning. Highlights included watching a heron eat a massive snake up close and two types of monkeys swinging through trees. Oscar really took his time to make sure we got the most out of the tour and found so much wildlife that we would have missed. Then onto a farm where we had the most delicious cheese, plantains, breads and fresh juice, a meal I would have never chosen myself but was one of my most favourite things I ate all week. The waterfall hike and swim was so much fun with incredible views and refreshing water and it’s ONLY 500 steps to come back up again…. Then more delicious food at the company’s restaurant (can you tell I loved the food?!) A traditional CR Cansado. Finally onto a hike up the bottom section of the volcano for excellent views. We really lucked out as it was a clear day so we could see the whole of the majestic Arenal, before being dropped off tired but elevated at our hotel. Thanks to all at Rainforest Excursions for providing a true highlight of our trip and again, special thanks to Oscar and Johan.

It was a pleasant experience. The guide, Francisco, was very supportive, showing us some animals, taking pictures and explaining us about Costa Rica in general. The lunch was a traditional 'casado', very delicious. Eventhough I couldn't see vulcan Arenal as a whole, because it was too cloudy, the tour overcame my expectations. Highly recommended for those who stay at La Fortuna.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Fabricio and Jaime were amazing! The hanging bridges had breathtaking views. The waterfall hike will take your breath away, literally. The food was authentic l and absolutely delicious. They saved the best for last, which was the Arenal volcano hike. I highly recommend this activity.

We went on a bird watching tour with Tony. It was awesome. We saw a great variety of birds. Too many to mention but we did see toucans, parrots , herons macaws and we saw sloths. Then a fantastic breakfast at the rancho. This is a family run business and they are truly the best.

We did 2 excursions with them and they were both absolutely wonderful. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to be around. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They go above and beyond and really made a difference in our trip. Mario and Jason- thanks for helping us make some great memories- you guys were great!!

We had an amazing time. Our tour guide Mario was amazing. He was friendly, punctual and was able to provide so much history. We would absolutely recommend this excursion as it was the best we have been on. The hanging bridges was our favorite.

We loved this tour!! Francisco was a great tour guide. He was very personable, engaging and knowledgeable. We learned so much about volcanos, and nature. He even managed to get us an incredible picture of a sloth. (Unfortunately there are no sloths at the volcano but the driver Johan saw the sloth when picking up some passengers at their hotel and when we returned to drop them off the sloth was still there. The guys set up the telescope and allowed us to take a look and even took pictures for us. At the end of the tour we were greeted with a delicious and beautifully plated pineapple and watermelon snack. Best pineapple I’ve ever had. The views were incredible, they provided us with walking sticks making the hike more manageable and the knowledgeable tour guide made this our favourite in all of Costa Rica!! Highly recommend this tour and if you can request Francisco all the better! I almost forgot - the hot springs were also amazing! The place is beautiful, and they had the best cocktails. We would definitely return to the hot springs too! So gorgeous!!

Over the past 2 days we had private tours and hiked Arenal volcano and also went on Hanging Bridges tour and the La Fortuna waterfall tour. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our tour guides Tony and Mario. They were absolutely wonderful!!! They took the time to explain the history of the volcano and showed us so many animals, birds, monkeys, sloths that we would have missed had their sharp eyes not found them. They both had fantastic telescopes and showed all the details and could photograph the images also. Today we were able to visit Mario’s family farm where he and his family were so gracious and made us the most authentic Costa Rican meal. It was delicious. And the charcuterie board that was prepared after our volcano tour yesterday was phenomenal. We would absolutely recommend all of these tours and tour guides. They went above and beyond what is expected. They patiently waited while we shopped for gifts and we got to meet their family and see their personal farm where they grew the vegetables we ate for lunch. Hands down the best tour!

Thank you Juan Carlos for making this a memorable experience for our adult family of six! Juan was very educated and we never imagined we would learn and see so much on this excursion. Monkeys, snakes, iguanas, birds, sloth, insects and so much more! Would highly recommend!

Great way to see multiple local attractions. Our family of four was with a trustworthy, welcoming and well-informed guide. Breathtaking views all day.

The entire team at Rainforest Explorers is top notch. We had a lovely hanging bridges hike with Francisco. He is so knowledgeable about the rainforest flora and fauna. It was pouring rain and we'd do it all over again. Not only was he a safe driver, but we also LOVE Edgar's easy hearty laugh. At the farm, it's evident that the brilliant women rule the roost. Grateful for the opportunity to support a woman owned business while enjoying an incredible day in La Fortuna capped of by a riverside picnic.

Our tour guide Jason was amazing he really made our trip so far ! He gave us recommendations that were amazing and his knowledge on the tour was incredible and he spoke amazing English

What a fun time we had… hiking, walking on suspension bridges and relaxing in a thermal spring. Norlan and Hans were both informative guides and the guests were fun, too! Would definitely recommend! 🤩

This was an incredible day with two of the nicest guides you could wish for, Oscar and Edgar. Five of us went, including three teens, and everyone had a great time. The river safari was brilliant, around two hours of peaceful floating seeing moneys (including a troop of white faced monkeys crossing the river in the trees) lizards, birds and more. Then a break at a lovely house for a snack and drink. Then the waterfall at fortuna. Yes it’s 500 steps down and then up, but well worth it for a dip in the cool water beneath the fall. Then an amazing lunch, and an impromptu tour of Edgar’s garden/farm next door before the hike up/around the volcano. Incredibly well organised and Oscar knew so much about the area and animals, fascinating. It’s a really worthwhile investment in an incredible day out, particularly if you don’t have much time in Arenal so don’t have time to see all the places yourself. It was the highlight of our Costa Rica trip. Fabulous.
