Amazing day trip!
We absolutely loved our time with Rainforest Explorers! Julio was incredibly knowledgeable and took amazing care of us all day. He was able to adapt to the slower pace of some of group, and also facilitated amazing wildlife shots! Additionally, during the planning process there were some small changes that had to be made - Ileana was extremely communicative and helpful. All in all - an amazing experience, and we loved spending our day with this company!

Morning to evening at La Fortuna
It was a very full and versatile day. We started with nature watching at hanging bridges early, had a fruit snack and went to La Fortuna waterfall. Peppe took great photos of us swimming. The lunch was delicious and we also enjoyed watching the birds who came to the same restaurant as us. We also saw jacana dad with 4 chicks hiding under his wings on the way to Mirador de Silencio. The day ended in the hot springs, where the real river flows through the resort and is manicured enough that we were able so sit between two waterfalls, right on the river bottom and watch the day change into the night. Perfect day, thank you Peppe and Heime!

A must do in La Fortuna!
Fantastic day with Mario. Bridges, waterfall, volcano and hot springs. Mario is an awesome guide, fun, knowledgeable and can spot wildlife! Lunch on his family’s property was great! Worth every penny and I can recommend enough.

Great one day trip! Our...
Great one day trip! Our tour guide Isaac is very professional, knowledgeable, and considerate. We were able to spot some tropical animals only with his expertise. The day trip was well planned so we didn’t get exhausted even we did a lot of activities. The van is clean and with cool temperature. They also prepared a cooler with cold water. We enjoyed all the trips including to the rainforest, the water fall, and the volcano. The lunch at a local house is also lovely. The food is good. 100% happy and satisfied!

Hanging Bridges, Waterfall, Volcano Hike and Tabacon Hot Springs: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does Hanging Bridges, Waterfall, Volcano Hike and Tabacon Hot Springs cost?
+
Prices start at $206 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 Hanging Bridges, Waterfall, Volcano Hike and Tabacon Hot Springs take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Hanging Bridges, Waterfall, Volcano Hike and Tabacon Hot Springs worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 102 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hanging Bridges, Waterfall, Volcano Hike and Tabacon Hot Springs?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Hanging Bridges, Waterfall, Volcano Hike and Tabacon Hot Springs suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hanging Bridges, Waterfall, Volcano Hike and Tabacon Hot Springs?
+
Around 36 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hanging Bridges, Waterfall, Volcano Hike and Tabacon Hot Springs 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, North Fields Cafe: Craft Specialty Coffee and Chocolate Tour, Canyoning Adventure Rappelling Waterfalls in Arenal Volcano. 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.
