Everything was perfect about this day. Harlem and Stefano were my favorite guides ever! We saw so much, learned so much and experienced so much. I took 2 other tours in my time in Costa Rica and they didn’t even come close to this. Everyone in the group felt the same way and kept repeating how great the day was. Don’t miss this tour and try your best to get Harlem and Stefano as your guide and driver. They will not disappoint!

Fun day doing a lot of different activities! It was a nice quick overview of a lot of different aspects of Costa Rican geography and culture. The largest chunk of time was spent at the hot springs at a resort in La Fortuna, for about 3.5 hours. If you’re looking for access to the national park and more info about the Arsenal Volcano itself, this isn’t the tour for you. The lunch and dinner meals were pretty good and snacks were provided at one stop along the way. There were also multiple stops to buy snacks and souvenirs. Overall a fun day, but make sure you really read the itinerary to ensure it’s what you’re looking for.

Kapi kapi. Steve and Luis were excellent guides and we enjoyed every stop and experience along the way. We got to see sloths, iguanas and even a scarlet macaw on our way back in addition to all the stops in the description. Steve was knowledgeable and I learned a lot.
