Rincon de la Vieja Volcano Adventure

This was my favorite day of my vacation. Philippe, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. So fun! He was also very thoughtful. I took this tour on my own and he made sure I still got pictures of myself at the scenic points. Miguel, our driver, was very kind and attentive. And I had the good luck of meeting great people on the tour with me too! The hike was enjoyable exercise. I work out regularly and while I didn't find it really challenging, it is a bit of work and there are a lot of stairs. There are several cable bridges that could be daunting to the faint of heart. That said, if you're reasonably fit, willing to sweat and enjoy an adventure, you will love this tour! The rainforest, waterfall, hot springs, wildlife... all of it was fabulous! And the lunch was delicious! I would definitely recommend this tour and would be happy to do it again myself!

We had the best day on this tour!! The hike was amazing- we saw a ton of volcanic activity and so many monkeys. Felipe was hilarious and made it that much more fun. The waterfall was stunning and all of the hiking was a decent workout for the delicious lunch!! Cannot recommend this tour enough! Thank you Miguel & Felipe for an amazing time and taking good care of us!

One on one offers a great experience. The driver and the guide were both excellent and communications about pick up what to wear were great. We learned more about the ecosystem, history, folklore, and biodiversity of Costa Rica than we could have imagined. We also had a great lunch - water and snacks were provided too. This is the team you wanna book with to explore Costa Ric!

We had such a great day (this was an all day excursion) and felt very prepared from the email sent prior, plus the reviews. Daphne was an EXCELLENT, informative and kind guide! She was such a gem, answered so many questions, took so many photos, and just provided such a great experience for us! We wore swimsuits under our clothes with tennis shoes for the day and the first part of the tour was the volcano hike (pretty long, I wouldn't say this is the best for elderly). Then we went to the waterfall. Unfortunately, there was a storm with possible flash flooding/runoff so they had closed the waterfall for swimming which we were really looking forward to after the hike, but we appreciated the sentiments of safety first as we had our young kids! Beautiful fall! The bridges to the waterfall were a bit scary for those with height aversion, so I wouldn't recommend going as the bridges also are a bit "bouncy" as you walk. We then headed to the Hot springs/mud bath. I would say this was my favorite part! It was very scenic and beautiful with different temp pools. So peaceful and relaxing. The mud bath is not what I was expecting, but more of a cup of mud that you smear on and then rinse off. Still an amazing experience! We then headed to the restaurant for the included lunch which was very good! The food was great (an app, entree and dessert!) and we were happy with the outdoor seating view. We took water shoes, bug spray, SPF and water, waterproof phone cases, and snacks if you think you'll get hungry. You also stop at a small convenience store where you can buy snacks. Overall, we had such a great tour and hit many things we wanted to see in Costa Rica on this excursion! Thank you Daphne and Miguel (our driver) for a top notch experience. Highly recommend to anyone.
