The tour was AMAZING and clearly exceeded my expectation! Starting with the company who helped me with transportation and keeping my luggage while doing the tour. The Driver Olivier was OUTSTANDING, he was so kind and even took us to an amazing viewpoint for the Volcano. Our tour guide Santiago was so professional and had eagle eyes to easily spot the animals in the wild, he patiently waited for everyone and he went the extra mile with the information. The place itself was worth it! 5kms hike with beautiful colorful water and tons of pics of snakes and red frogs. Thank you so much!

Anne was and excellent guide, so glad she was able to show up even if it was her day off! So insightful. Oliver, was a plus not only did he drive really well but also gave us history and culture of the region along the way. If you want to see Tenorio park and be able to learn, spot wildlife, and not worry about transport to and from you must book with them.

Full description

Start your full-day tour with a scenic drive from La Fortuna to the Tenorio Volcano National Park. Head out on a 4-hour hike that will take some effort but is definitely worth it.

At the end of the hike you’ll have reached the Rio Celeste. The river’s blue color is the result of a chemical reaction between 2 merging rivers having different volcanic minerals. This rare phenomenon creates a fairy tale-like beauty.

Visit a waterfall and a lookout point for great views and see the place where the river changes color. Your guide will point out local wildlife on this adventure as well.

After your hike, enjoy a delicious lunch before the drive back to La Fortuna.

Raffalo was exceptional in his guiding skills. He was patient and showed all the wildlife that I would have missed had I done a solo tour. Grateful for his expertise and warmth
