Absolutely Wonderful!
This was an absolutely amazing experience! We got there at 5:30 and enjoyed a drink from the bar. We had a delicious buffet dinner at 6:00. Then we spent the next couple hours in the beautiful pools. The water felt so amazing and there was always someone nearby to take a drink order. There are several different pools with waterfalls. It was a top notch spa like experience. Highly recommended! Just book it!

Great all around adventure
Lovely calm place to visit the hot springs, not too crowded, immaculate grounds and changing facilities. Not a loud water park atmosphere. They served a fabulous lunch with many options. You can book a half day or more.

Great thermals and lunch
Many different pools with temperatures ranging from 80 to 109 degrees. We purchased the package with lunch. The buffert lunch was the best one I have had in Costa Rica.

Beautiful spot with lots...
Beautiful spot with lots of different pools! They did a great job making sure it wasn’t chaotic or crowded. It was a great night activity to listen to the water and everything was well lit!

La Fortuna: Best EcoTermales HotSprings Experience with transport: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does La Fortuna: Best EcoTermales HotSprings Experience with transport cost?
+
Prices start at $110 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 La Fortuna: Best EcoTermales HotSprings Experience with transport take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 La Fortuna: Best EcoTermales HotSprings Experience with transport worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 51 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule La Fortuna: Best EcoTermales HotSprings Experience with transport?
+
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 La Fortuna: Best EcoTermales HotSprings Experience with transport suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book La Fortuna: Best EcoTermales HotSprings Experience with transport?
+
Around 18 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does La Fortuna: Best EcoTermales HotSprings Experience with transport 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 La Fortuna: Best EcoTermales HotSprings Experience with transport?
+
Included: All Fees and Taxes; Shuttle from Hotels around La Fortuna (available only for basic or premium tickets); and Lunch. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does La Fortuna: Best EcoTermales HotSprings Experience with transport include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 46 listed pickup locations in and around La Fortuna. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time.
What languages is La Fortuna: Best EcoTermales HotSprings Experience with transport offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
