    An excursion still out of mass tourism

    Private tour shared with only two other people. Punctuality and seriousness of the guide. We managed to get everything done on time

    Amazing!

    This tour was amazing and a must if you’re in Costa Rica. The guide was knowledgeable and gave us an experience we will never forget. We were able to see a couple of waterfalls and were even able to swim in some! I would recommend this 10/10!

    Wonderful tour and guide

    I had a great time on this tour. The falls are beautiful and Juan is an awesome tour guide. Very knowledgeable, attentive and kind. Made me feel safe. I highly recommend booking this tour but you do need to be in good shape and wear sturdy shoes. You will be walking up and down steep steps and across unpaved rocky trails although there are sections where there are no rocks and the ground flat. There's also some short hills. There are several benches to rest on along the way if you get tired.

    Stunning waterfalls.

    Wow! These falls are absolutely breathtaking. The colour of the water is crazy blue! A moderate level of fitness as there are some steep stairs to get there. It’s more than worth it! Thanks Juan for taking me here as there are few that do. I not only learnt about the falls but all of the surrounding areas due to Juan’s excellent knowledge. I highly recommend this tour and these falls. If you like the blue falls also visit El Santario (la catedral waterfall). These are my two favourites by far. Thanks Juan! 🙏

    Blue Falls and Catarata Toro Hiking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.

    How much does Blue Falls and Catarata Toro Hiking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $190 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Blue Falls and Catarata Toro Hiking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Fortuna is not rushed.

    Is Blue Falls and Catarata Toro Hiking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Blue Falls and Catarata Toro Hiking Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Blue Falls and Catarata Toro Hiking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Blue Falls and Catarata Toro Hiking Tour?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Fortuna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Blue Falls and Catarata Toro Hiking Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Fortuna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in La Fortuna?

    +

    On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, White Water Rafting Class II and III, Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit La Fortuna?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in La Fortuna?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Blue Falls and Catarata Toro Hiking Tour?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; First Aid; Bottled water; Binoculars To See Better The WildLife Around; and Entrance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Blue Falls and Catarata Toro Hiking Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Blue Falls and Catarata Toro Hiking Tour offered in?
