La Fortuna Trekking and Hiking Trips

It was my first G Adventures tour. What fabulous way to explore and see the best sites Costa Rica has to offer. I look forward to another soon and being part of the G Adventures family again.

My first (and definitely not last) G Adventures trip was just incredible. It was great to experience so many different sides to Costa Rica, guided by an amazing CEO. The bang for you buck in terms of time and experiences is great for someone who's looking to take a back seat in the planning but still have an authentic trip which ticks all the must dos and then some. The connections and friends you make on the trip is the cherry on top, it was such a lovely mix of people who had great stories to tell. Already looking at booking my next one, pura vida!

An excellent tour, a good mix of activities with the rafting as our personal highlight and the main reason we booked this tour. We had the opportunity to experience some exciting activities pushing our boundaries - Pura Vida!!

Overall, I give this experience a 10/10. It was my first international trip solo and I had the best time ever. The option to stay an extra night on either end of the trip was perfect. The option for transportation to and from the airport was really appreciated, as I was by myself in a new country. I got to experience so many parts of Costa Rica in a two-week period that I would not have been able to do if I was alone. I am already looking for my next trip to book. I will be a G customer for a long time and recommend it to anyone who will listen!

The tour was great due to a very dedicated and inspiring guide and well chosen regions and places in CR. The activity level was just right and the variety in landscape and activity really wonderful.

This is an absolutely incredible tour -- our guide Jason was both very informative and very helpful. He explained the history of the Arenal volcano to us, we took a short hike a small part of the way up the mountain, and then went back down to look at wildlife in the rainforest. We saw spider monkeys, which Jason said are a pretty rare sight, and then a red curacao just walked out onto the trail in front of us! It was an incredible feeling to just be seeing all these animals spontaneously on a nature hike. Speaking of hikes, it is important to be aware that this tour is somewhat physically demanding. There are no extreme parts, just some strenuous walking over very uneven ground, but I think the tour description could do a better job of emphasizing the challenge. At the same time, the tour is extremely convenient in terms of picking you up and dropping you off at your desired location, whether a hotel, hot springs, or somewhere else. Overall, I strongly recommend the Arenal Volcano trip to anyone who is into volcanoes and wildlife and plans to visit the Arenal area.
