Volcano Hike, Waterfall Swim & Hot Springs Combo on Rincon de la Vieja

The whole trip was great from the Volcano to the waterfall to the hot springs! There is a LOT of hiking both up and downhill so just be prepared. Our guide Santos was very personable and knowledgeable about the nature in the area.

Alejandro and Mangera were awesome. They took their time and made sure we had a great time and enjoyed all the spots on our tour. Alejandro taught us a lot about the volcano and Costa Rica.

Amazing experience!!! Jumped off into a waterfall, and our tour guide was great. Lots of water and breaks provided.

We had a nice trip once we were finally to the park. Our guide knew the park well. That’s where the good stuff ends. Getting to and from is awful. They have a meeting spot, the garden, where all of the tour need to exchange passengers. We were there over an hour for “breakfast”. The real purpose is for tour companies to exchange or pick up passengers while you wait. We had some health issues come up after a strenuous hike, which I shared with our Guide. We even decline to participate in the last stop. I told him we were having health issues and needed to get to the hotel. Instead, on the way back, we stopped one more time at the tour souvenir/restaurant. I again expressed to the tour guide that we needed to get to the hotel due to health issues. Yet, we were there for almost 2 hours. We were waiting on folks to arrive from the airport. Several times, I expressed to the guy that we needed to go. However, when the new people arrived, he took both of them to their hotels first. He went down a road that should not be traveled by cars calling it a short cut but it was in the opposite direction of our hotel. He dropped off at 2 hotels and we were last. We took the medication in the room but had to cut our vacation short and go home to be seen by a physician. Unless you want to be a cow in the cattle call, book somewhere else. No recommendation. We’ve travelled for decades and this in the WORST experience.

The hot springs and waterfall pool swim were fun. I learned quite a few things about the region and the volcano and the culture and economics of Costa Rica

WE had a great time with the hike around the volcano, swam under a waterfall and finished with a hot spring. Such a wonderful experience and guide Alejandro!

It's a you-see-it-all trip. We hiked and swam, and relaxed in hot springs. A very long day but we experienced some of the best points of interest here. The tour guide Hector was very knowledgable in Costa Rica's history, and very fun to chat with. It's highly recommended.

The experience was awesome. Pick up was exactly as communicated. Hugo was an amazing guide. Have a more behind the scenes type tour, as he is very knowledgeable. I would recommend the tour to anyone!

The bus driver hit a dog and may have killed it and didn’t stop on the way to the connection site. He didn’t see the dog and was driving over the lines and very fast unsafeky. Thank goodness we had a connection van for the tour itself and only had to spend from Tamarindo to the connection spot and then back home with this driver. This started off my tour in a very upsetting manner. The other driver at the connection and tour leader was great. Volcano is small but nice and the hot springs/ mud bath and waterfall are great for a swim.

It is really nice to see and appreciate what Mother Nature has to offer and this one opportunity I couldn’t missed it
