Private hængebroer / Vandfald / Typisk frokost / Volcano-Lava Fields Combo

We had an amazing full-day tour with Zender and could not have asked for a better guide for our family. We visited the Mistico Hanging Bridges, did a volcano hike, and explored the beautiful Arenal Waterfall. Zender was incredibly knowledgeable about the La Fortuna ecosystem and shared so much interesting information throughout the day. He was excellent at spotting animals we never would have seen on our own, and he always made us feel safe and comfortable. He also knew exactly how to get us in and out of each location efficiently, which made the day smooth and stress-free. One of the highlights was the wonderful hidden gem he took us to for lunch. Zender was friendly, professional, and truly passionate about the area. My family had such a memorable time spending the day with him, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Costa Rica!

This is the perfect tour, especially if you have limited time in La Fortuna, as it includes 3 of the main attractions: Mistico hanging bridges, Arenal volcano hike, and La Fortuna waterfall. Our guide, Zender, was one of the best guides we have had in any of our travels (and we have done quite a few tours!). He was extremely knowledgeable of the wildlife and took his time to search for and point out every interesting plant, animal, etc. He is very experienced, easy to talk to, and made the day flow seamlessly. My mother has some physical limitations which I was worried would affect the tour, however Zender tailored the tour to our needs and never made us feel rushed. He also took time to make sure we got many great photographs. I am so glad we decided to book a private tour. I feel we spotted a lot more wildlife and animals as we didn't have to share the guide/microscope with a large group of people. Highly recommend and worth the extra money in my opinion. Also, Sirleny from the tour office was very helpful and responsive with questions I had about the tour. We so appreciate the amazing hospitality of everyone we interacted with. Thank you.

This was the PERFECT introduction to La Fortuna and the perfect speed for our family of four (two kiddos- ages 7 & 10). We loved that this was a private tour and was catered to our kids' speed and interests. Zender was an amazing tour guide- he even helped us find a coffee shop that was open at 7am. He then guided us through Mistico Bridges during a downpour and still managed to help us spot sloths, scorpion, tarantula, and a coati! We rock scrambled up the 1968 Arenal trail. The included lunch was delicious and a well needed rest. Finally, we topped off the day with a visit to the waterfall. During a tropical downpour, of course. Zender was ready though. He had an umbrella and ponchos for guests (we brought our own and didn't need), but he held an umbrella over our gear as we went to swim in the waterfall pools. Zender kept us on schedule, energized, and was wonderful with our kids. The three of them chatted about animals and he entertained all of their animal questions with knowledge and grace. He even offered suggestions of which hot springs to go to and what other activities we should do with younger kids. TL:DR- this private tour is worth every penny as an overview of all of the beauty that is included in La Fortuna. Just book it!

We see beautiful things , very nice and professional guide . He speaks French. He picked us up from the hotel. Lunch very decent.

This private tour had mixed experiences. The Hanging Bridges portion was not very engaging, though that is more related to the attraction itself, as wildlife is difficult to see without binoculars. The volcano stop was better — the guide provided a lot of interesting and informative explanations, which we appreciated. However, the overall pacing of the tour was disappointing for a private experience. The tour was advertised as approximately 9 hours starting at 8:00 AM, but the day ended around 3:00 PM, much earlier than expected. At the final waterfall stop, the guide clearly seemed to be in a hurry and initially suggested that we only take photos instead of going down to enjoy the waterfall. We had to specifically request time to go down, and even then we were given a strict return time, which did not feel comfortable for a private tour. There was also an attempt to skip lunch and go directly to the waterfall, which would have meant not eating until mid-afternoon. We insisted on having lunch after the volcano stop, which felt much more reasonable. Overall, the tour had good information at the volcano, but the rushed schedule and shortened duration did not match the expectations of a private, full-day experience.

We spent an extraordinary day with our guide Zender. Friendliness and exemplary professionalism , a true enthusiast On the lookout for every species we might have come across. I highly recommend this high quality experience.

Every aspect of this tour was perfect. Yeudy Cruz, our personal guide, picked us up in his (pristine) van right on time in the morning. The logistics and the pickup location were established with Traluxu Travel through email, days in advance. Yeudy took care of getting us to every location and purchasing our admission tickets and lunch. He had snacks, drinks for the kids, and adult drinks for us parents between locations. He even offered us ponchos when he saw that we showed up unprepared for the unexpected rain and cool weather we had that day. Yeudy went above and beyond to ensure that we had an enjoyable, stress-free time. He was funny, personable, and very knowledgeable. He even sat with us at lunch, happily fielding a barrage of questions from our 8 and 10 year old kids. :D We were able to take the tour at our own pace, from Mistico Park hanging bridges, to the Arenal Volcano trails, to La Fortuna Waterfall and lunch. We took our time, capturing pictures of everything we found that was interesting. Yeudy offered to take a group photo of my family on multiple occasions. Yeudy took every opportunity to show us the wildlife along the way. We saw birds, frogs, snakes, and a tarantula Yeudy even spotted a set of parrots perched in a tree at least 1/4 mile away. He would set up his scope on a tripod and give each of us the opportunity to see a close-up view of the wildlife, and he would take pictures on our cell phones of what was in focus in his scope. If we did this without a guide, we literally wouldn't have noticed any wildlife, as there is just so much vegetation that things just blend in to the untrained eye. I was hesitant to pay this amount of money, but it was well worth the memorable experience and amazing pictures we were able to capture. And with admission, transportation, and lunch included, this is a great value for a private tour of this caliber. I don't have a single complaint!

Great way to see several sights in one day. Our tour guide, Roy, was awesome with our kids. He kept our kids engaged throughout the trip and kept the tour moving by at the right pace. Without a guide, we would have missed most the animals so having a tour guide was a must. We saw a sloth, several groups of monkeys, local turkeys, pigs, frogs, many birds including toucans, and many types of spiders including a tarantula. Our guide carried a scope to help us see the wildlife and also helped us take some great pictures through his scope.

What an amazing tour! It rained most of the day, but was it was still fantastic. Zender our guide was outstanding. On our trip we saw poison dart frogs, vipers, howler monkeys, a sloth, toucans, waterfalls, and many awesome views. Zender was knowledgeable and knew where to seach for the wildlife. The lunch was also delicious! You can't go wrong booking this tour.
