Caminata por el volcán, natación en cascada y aguas termales Combo on Rincón de la Vieja

We had the best time. Great guide. Beautiful waterfalls. Good lunch. Loved the views of the volcano. Perfect day!!

Our guide Daphne was awesome, she guides us, answered questions, ensure we were ok, stayed with us all the time. The lunch was a nice surprise, we were expecting some easy and simple and we were taken to a very ice buffet restaurant.

Harry was amazing. He was so helpful and funny. Really enjoyed our tour and group. Everyone had a great time. This hike is intense so I don’t recommend it if you have bad knees or a bad back. But it’s definitely worth it.

Be sure to bring a snack and a towel. They provide a towel for the hot springs, but not the waterfall in between. You will need an electrolyte drink and a snack after the hike. The hike is about 2 hours and involves a lot of steps. Due to the rain we didn't get to see much wildlife, but still worth it. My legs were jelly after the hike and then you have to do more steps and walking to get to the waterfall and hot springs. You have a chance to change into your swim suit after the hike. I'm an overweight asthmatic and another lady had leg and vertigo issues, but we were both able to do it all. It's strenous, but doable.

Our visit to Parque Nacional Rincón de la Vieja was one of the most memorable excursions of our entire Costa Rica trip. This national park is the perfect blend of adventure, nature, and raw volcanic beauty — the kind of place that reminds you why Costa Rica is known for its incredible landscapes. The park offers a variety of trails, each showcasing something different: bubbling mud pots, steaming fumaroles, volcanic craters, waterfalls, hanging bridges, and lush tropical forest. Walking through the park feels like stepping into a living science documentary. You can literally see and hear the geothermal activity around you, which makes the experience both exciting and surreal. One of the highlights is how diverse the scenery is. Within a single hike, you move from dry forest to volcanic terrain to vibrant greenery. The wildlife is another bonus — we spotted birds, butterflies, and even a few curious monkeys along the way. Everything feels untouched and authentic. What makes Rincón de la Vieja a must‑visit is the balance of adventure and accessibility. Whether you’re into hiking, photography, nature, or just exploring something unique, this park delivers. It’s an excursion that gives you a deeper appreciation for Costa Rica’s natural wonders and volcanic power. If you’re planning your trip, make sure this national park is on your list — it’s absolutely worth the time and the trek.

Daphne was a wonderful and friendly tour guide. My only complaint is that I could have spent more time at each stop, especially the hot springs. It was a very full day but the best one of our whole trip! Just like the advertisement, it was an awesome adventure!

This is a wonderful multi-faceted adventure that really showcases many of the beautiful features and cultural aspects of Costa Rica! You definitely need to be aware that the hiking aspect would be considered moderate - not easy - but SO very worth it! From volcanic steam pots (fumeroles), boiling ground water pools and boiling mud pools to beautiful roaring waterfalls, hanging bridges through dramatic forests - a delicious authentic Costa Rican lunch buffet - and ending up with a refreshing visit to volcanic mineral hot springs to soak up the healing powers (mud bath too if you like)! Our guide, Daphne, was outstanding - very knowledgeable, courteous and patient with our group. (Our driver, Mambo, was great too). Highly recommend this for a very full day of really getting to see it “all” in Costa Rica!!

We had a great time! Daphnne was an awesome tour guide and was so good with all our kids. Her and Mambo our driver made sure we had everything we needed and they were so wonderful teaching us all about Costa Rica!

Daphne is an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and passionate about her country. The tour felt a little rushed would be my only complaint. Would’ve loved more time in the thermal springs. I definitely recommend Native’s Way. I ended up using them for all my tours while in a Costa Rica.

I was traveling by myself and felt completely safe and well taken care of from start to finish. The pickup process was easy and on time. I really loved that the group was small because it gave everyone a chance to chat and get to know each other. Our tour guide, Kevin Piña, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of my questions. Our driver, Felipe, was also very kind and made the entire experience even more enjoyable. The locations we visited were absolutely perfect. Nothing felt overcrowded or overly touristy, and one of the highlights was getting to swim at a waterfall completely to ourselves! I look forward to touring with them again in the future. Highly recommend!
