About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- josiasc3920 contributionsGreat day trip from San JoseCouldn’t ask for a better experience from San Jose. Harlem, Oxanna, and Victor were amazing. They are extremely knowledgeable about the biodiversity, culture, and history of the country. All the stops we went were never crowded and we had the most fun. They knew exactly were to find the animals in their natural habitat. Couldn’t recommend enoughWritten 8 February 2025
- 257marieb0 contributionsAmazing TripHarlem and Victor were very informative and very friendly. Harlem’s information on the natural habitat of Costa Rica was amazing. His knowledge of history of the country was just as solid. They went out of their way to make sure we saw sloths and iguanas. Would have liked to get closer to the Arenal Mountain but it may not have been possible. I would definitely recommend this trip for anyone visiting the first time.Written 8 February 2025
- Fdlang12340 contributionsNice daytripNice trip, a lot of fun stops and duration of the stops is also good. The guide Harlem spots wildlife during the drive and then driver Randall will stop the van so you can get out and have a look (monkeys, sloths, coati, macaws). Food is nice as well. Good experience!Written 7 February 2025

We were a little bit unsure at first when our transport vehicle was late, but our tour guide, Fernando, made everything worth it! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. The hot springs was definitely the best part of the day and we wished we could have stayed there longer. Overall, a lot of time was spent in the car, but there were enough activities and pit stops in between that broke up the day nicely. We hiked down to the waterfall but could not swim because the waters were too rough. We couldn’t see the top of the volcano because it was covered in clouds, but the views were still breathtaking and I am grateful that we still decided to go. Fernando also offered us choices and suggestions along the way to tailor our trip to our needs/desires. We were also able to stop at a roadside convenience store with many local Costa Rican treats/pastries on our way to La Fortuna and we also were able to stop at a giant souvenir shop on our way back to our hotel which were added bonuses on this trip. I would definitely recommend this trip, although you need to mentally prepare yourself for a long day and to be flexible when/if nature decides to change your plans!

I went with a group of friends on this excursion and Fernando was the best tour guide! You can tell he's proud of his country and was extremely informative, providing us with interesting facts and history about Costa Rica. He made a 4-hour car ride each way go by fast. He also gave clear instructions at each stop on what to do with recommendations on how to devote your time. The views on the way to the volcano were beautiful! The first stop at the waterfall was honestly my favorite and I wish we had more time to stay there. Lunch and dinner was delicious as well. We got to eat authentic Costa Rican food! It was incredible seeing an active volcano and the view of it was insane. The hot springs were a very relaxing way to end the adventure. You had your choice of chilling in the heated pools, jacuzzis, lounge chairs, and there were plenty of bars to get yummy alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages. Overall, this excursion lasted from 6:30 am - 9:00 pm but it was well worth it!

Great all day trip to see and learn more about the country. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and instructive. He also drove fantastically through the windy streets in all sorts of weather. We came in the rainy season, which often means afternoon rain showers. Just when we got out of our van to walk around the volcano a huge thunderstorms started. However, the rest of the tour: the falls, the hot springs and the 2 restaurants were excellent.

Fernando was absolutely superb with making our tour as seamless and enjoyable as possible. His depth of knowledge he had shared with us in regards to Costa Rica ran wide and deep with geography, agriculture, economics, etc.
Fernando is an unforgettable tour guide who is well versed and I highly recommend to anyone coming to Costa Rica to experience first hand.

Exceptional trip! There are so many highlights to this tour. It was overwhelmingly obvious that our guide and driver, Harlem and Randal, are passionate and knowledgeable. From the birds/animals, knowledge of all the areas, thoroughness- it was one of the best day trips we’ve been on.

This was a wonderful experience to see Costa Rica! It was our first full day and we couldn't wait to go on an adventure. Harlem and Carlos were great tour guides and confidently answered all of our curious questions. The food, the coffee, the zip lining, and the hot springs we're all greatly appreciated. If you're looking for an all day outing with some knowledgeable people, I greatly recommend this tour and group. They were nothing short of gracious to us.

What a great way to spend our wedding anniversary- spending the day with our amazing guide, Fernando touring the beautiful La Fortuna waterfalls, the Arenal Volcano, and the hot springs. Fernando grew up in Costa Rica and has been doing tours for years. The love he has for his country shines through as he shares his knowledge about CR. Fernando has a way of getting everyone involved and participating as he had us looking at maps, asking us questions, and quizzing us! It was educational and fun! He did all this while safely navigating us to the various destinations. He was polite, helpful, organized, and kept us on time. I highly recommend this tour! It is well worth your time! Did I mention that it also included lunch and dinner? This was definitely an experience I will never forget! Thank you Fernando!
