We had a great time. Full packed day of adventures. The hot springs was a great way to finish the tour off! Carlos did a great job at leading the tour

The value you get from tour is amazing! We spent a whole day seeing La Fortuna Waterfall, Arenal Volcano, and got to experience some hot springs at the end with lunch included. Our hotel was pretty far from the tour location but the owner took the time to personally shuttle us back and forth so we could experience the tour! Our tour guide Chris MQ was extremely knowledgable about the history of the town as well as the wildlife and vegetation! Overall all of the tour guides created a fun atmosphere and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

In one day we saw the most beautiful things in La Fortuna. All thanks to our wonderful guide Emanuel!!!! The lunch was also very great. We had a lovely day! Definitely recommend.

Our Tour Guide Chris M.Q. was AMAZING! He took the extra time to make sure we had everything we needed, and created a safe and pleasurable experience for our entire group. He was so knowledgeable about the land, wildlife, and plant-life - it was easy to see that he truly is one with his environment. He takes great pride in his work, and is all around a genuine, caring person. I would recommend him as a tour guide 1000 times over, as there is simply no one better. The views were spectacular, and it was an unforgettable day that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Also be sure to bring your water shoes since the swim at the waterfall can be rough on your feet!

It was an awesome day! You really get to see the beauty that Costa Rica has to offer. We started with a tractor ride out into the forest. Next there was a hike down to La Fortuna waterfall. What a sight! Along the way, our guide Errol, offered to take pictures in scenic spots. When you get to the waterfall, you get time to wade in the water and climb up to the waterfall and swim around it as well. After the hike out, we had FRESH pineapple that was sensational! Next we went and had a presentation from native Costa Ricans to learn about their culture. It was very entertaining and informative. Next we had a great lunch and had a chance to visit a butterfly garden. After lunch, we had another hike up the volcano with great scenery. Again, Errol, was such a great tour guide. He was so knowledgeable about the plants, animals and history of the volcano. If you have the chance to be in his group, he is my pick! We ended the day soaking in the hot springs and relaxing after a full day. It was a great day and I couldn't recommend this tour enough!!

Franklin, our guide, was the absolute best! He was hilarious and so informative! The tours themselves had amazing views and overall were so enjoyable. It was a lovely time and I'm looking forward to coming again!

Red lava rocks tour guide was amazing. We got so much done for a good price! You start off with the La fortuna waterfall (recommend bringing slippers or water shoes as it is rocky once you go towards the water), then did a hike to the volcano and ended with the hot springs which was beautiful. Cha cha, our driver was effficient and smooth. Carlos and Aerol were our two tour guides and were very knowledgeable and friendly! They knew so much about the animals, plants, and history. They even had us sample fruits that they found in the tree and took pictures for us of hard to reach places for special frogs we found. Definitely recommend.

My wife and I took this tour yesterday and it was the complete package. Bud was a little late but when you make several stops to pick up a bud load of folks what can you expect. It was a full day and you were exhausted by the end but finishing in the hot springs was fantastic. Swimming in La Fortuna waterfalls after 500 steps down was exhilarating and beautiful. Lunch was very good typical Tico meal of fish and rice and beans. Then off to lava fields on Arenal Volcano. Once again strenuous climb but incredible view of the volcanoes and valley’s. The guides Carlos, Errold and Kathleen were extremely knowledgeable and courteous. Always looking out for the customers and tons of flora and fauna knowledge. Loved it!!!

Everything was super friendly and chill. The guides (Errol and Carlos) were very accommodating and knowledgeable. It's a tour that includes a bunch of stops and it was all done in a professional and no-rush manner. I highly recommend the tour. As for tips, bring a towel and bring water shoes.

We did 4 different tours with Red Lava and enjoyed every single one. All of our tour guides were great. We went with Kathleen to hike the volcano and she was very knowledgeable and was able to spot so many different animals and wildlife. Santiago was also great. We went to Rio Celeste with him and he was so energetic and fun. Overall we had an incredible time in La fortunate and red lava was a big reason why.

This tour was amazing! Definitely a workout, but well balanced with breaks and activities. We had Marcos as our tour guide and he was great! Super funny and informative. For those who are a bit scared of bugs like me, don’t worry, it wasn’t too bad. Definitely would recommend this tour 100x over!

On time pick from our hotel, hike to waterfall with animals, birds and plant sighting, cultural exchang with indegenious natives, scenic hike to volcanic hills and end the day with thermal hot springs dip. Our guide Enrik provides in perfect English fact-filled, timely and relevant info on flora, fauna, climate, topography, and more. He is passionate about protecting his environment and is highly educated and knowledgeable. The hike is NOT for the unfit. The trails are marked but elevation changes going down and coming up are physically challenging. Imagine climbing 90 minutes on a Stairmaster in 85 degrees and 90% humidity. But a great workout and thouroufhly enjoyable. Best experience was swimming in the cold river at the majestic waterfall.

An incredible journey. Thank you very much to our tour guide Emmanuel who really did the extra mile to make our experience feel like it was the best. Trust me when I say that it’s not necessarily easy to see animals in the forest but his passion and dedication helped us find a couple. Other than the animals, you really have breathtaking views of the volcano (if weather permits). Again loved how Emmanuel really explained about the difference of rain forest vs cloud forest as well as the history behind the volcanos in the area. Finally, for me on top of the list was the visit of La Fortuna waterfall. A must if you are in the area. As for the hot springs, it was a nice touch at the end to conclude our journey is some hot water but to be honest, it was nothing too impressive.

Our guides, Carlos and Carlos, looked for every opportunity to share the wildlife with us! We were able to see a sloth, vipers, and carniverous worms because they were familiar with the animals’ dwellings. It was such an educational, as well as adventurous, trek to the volcano and waterfall. We had a filling and delicious lunch midday. The final destination to the hot springs was a nice finish to a great day. Was probably the best tour of our trip!

Red Lava truly outdid themselves with Santiago, Marcus and Cayelene. These awesome tour guides helped us navigate three key landmarks of La Fortuna with style and grace. First, the La Fortuna Waterfall its a 380 step uneven climb to the bottom. Yes you need hiking boots! The waterfall is simply stunning. The freshwater fish in the bottom are beautiful to look at. Save your energy! Its a humid hike back to the the top. Second, you traverse to the Maleku village to learn about an indigenous tribe of Costa Rica. Third, lunch. Its delicious. Next, you continue to the Arenal Volcano, where you will hike to the 1968 lava field. It poured. Wear appropriate clothing. Finally, you finish the day with your tour guides with cocktails in the hot springs. You need to be physically fit. Bring everything they tell you to bring and have a great time.
