This excursion was so much fun! Kenya was our guide and she was amazing - so knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. She also double checked to make sure we had everything we need for the day before we left. Definitely wear good hiking shoes and bring a poncho. We got to see awesome wildlife thanks to Kenya’s keen eye. The lunch was good - a large plate of casado. I got the fish option (tilapia) which was great. Would absolutely recommend!

An interesting mix of 5 and 1 stars. The great, all 5 stars: Mario our guide was outstanding. Mauricio our driver was great. The hanging bridges of Mistico were our favorite in CR. The waterfall was a blast, but I highly recommend you stretch first. Our calves were sore for days! The volcano hike had great views. The whole thing was family friendly.

The not so great: Pickup was a few minutes late, then we had to wait on the side of the road for a taxi bringing a woman they forgot to pickup earlier. The excursion says it has cold bottled water and snacks were included, so we didn't bring. The tour operator forgot to put the water on the bus so we had to buy our own. They looked at us like we were crazy when we asked about the snacks. None. Most of the tours seemed to cap at 10 people. We assumed that would be the case here as well since the listing described transport by air-conditioned minivan. Transport was by bus and there were 20 of us. The numbers were annoying at Mistico, but not such a big deal for the waterfall or volcano. We thought the numbers were shrinking since some folks only purchased the early part of the tour, but they picked more people up along the way.

Conclusion? Definitely do the activities (though maybe over 2 days, not 1). If you can find a way to get Mario as your guide, do it. This tour operator? Maybe not perfect.

Awesome, comprehensive tour with guide Kenia! Our tour experience did start a bit rocky because they let us know less than 24 hours in advance that they could not pick us up at the hotel (although its in the tour description / they could have reached out earlier). We were able to get picked up for a $30 extra charge, but on a positive note the ride arrangement was very seamless. We first went to Mistico hanging bridges where Kenia spotted cool wildlife like anteaters and birds for us. She was very knowledgeable and lovely and we highly recommend her. Then, we went to eat casado (actually our favorite casado experience in CR). After, we went to the Arenal waterfall where Kenia watched our stuff and we were able to take a dip. Finally, we hiked the Lava Trails which was the perfect magical end to the tour (actually the true end was the delicious pineapples we got to munch on). Super professional and well coordinated tour, everything went very smoothly

Constant rain and poor visibility of volcano. Tour probably good on better weather day. Tour guide Mario was great and did the best he could with the bad weather

Mario was an excellent guide- knowledgeable, personable, passionate, and full of positive energy.

The trip allowed us to see many sites in a single day, but never felt too rushed. Highly recommend!

We had a great day with Mario as our guide. His knowledge and efforts to have us experience as much of Costa Rica was much appreciated.

Our guide was Crystal and she was knowledgeable and entertaining! She had a depth of knowledge about everything we saw but kept it from being like a lecture. Lots of energy and kept it fun!
