Top Bus tour agencys in La Fortuna, Costa Rica

Emmanuel (Fluffy) and Marcos gave us an unbelievable experience! Emmanuel was not our guide, but rode with us to and from. He is so high energy and full of smiles, it's impossible to be down with him around! Marcos was our guide and was extremely knowledgeable and kept everyone safe, while making it an unforgettable time. The class 2/3 rapids were absolutely doable for a beginner, but didn't skimp on excitement.

We did the Canyoning Tour - it was awesome! Would definitely recommend. Special shoutout to Andres & Kendall for making the experience extra special and fun. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip and something we'll never forget. As a bonus they do take pictures and videos for you along the way (you do have the pay for them, but it is well worth it). Thank you to the entire Desafio trip - we hope to do another tour with you again soon!

We thoroughly enjoyed a moonlit boat ride with Otto on Lake Arenol. He pointed out various birds and the view of the volcano from the lake was gorgeous. Otto was spectacular, offered dance lessons, taught us some Spanish, made delicious drinks and the pineapple salsa was so yummy. PURDA VITA!!!!

Had an absolute blast canyoning! We were nervous but our guides were fantastic. Lunch afterward was delicious! Can’t recommend highly enough!

Hands down the best part of our 8 Day Costa Rica trip. The experience with Desfario was worth every penny plus more! So we took the afternoon tour for a class 2/3 experience. We were picked up via a shuttle at Hotel Mountain Paradise. It was comfortable, nice, and cool... and it had wifi! Our shuttle then takes us to a hub in Afuera province. As soon as we arrived there, we were treated to a delicious lunch of classic tico cuisine. Then they let us relax, nap, use our phones, whatever, while we digested the food.

After we were good to go, we jumped in another shuttle and headed to the river, where we continued our adventure with David and Gabriel. After a quick crash course in paddling forward, backward, stopping, and leaning in, we were off on the water! Water temperature was about 25C (which was really nice and refreshing!) David was in our raft while Gabriel followed us in a smaller raft to take photos. The whole experience was about 5 hours. :)

It is highly recommended that you request Gabriel and David as your guides. Gabriel is very funny and takes great photos. David is a walking encyclopedia. He spotted so many animals for us and was very knowledgeable about them! He was familiar with Costa Rican history and its neighboring countries. David taught me more on that trip than any other guide on any other excursion I took. My recommendation for him cannot be overstated.

Wonderful experience hiking the Arenal volcano trail with our guide Krystal. She was extremely knowledgeable about the flora and fauna as well as the geologic history of the volcano. Warm, and very accommodating for people of varying hiking ability. They had a nice fresh fruit snack for us after the hike. Highly recommend this company and Krystal.

Went on a tour of the Arenal volcano and our tour guide Kevin was informative, fun, and friendly. It was a great experience and I highly recommend adventuring with Desafio. They also served us fruit after the tour and it was so good! Have a blast a learn some stuff, go with Desafio!

Had a great day hiking Arenal, our guides were great Jorge, Kevin and Marcus were very friendly and informative. Beautiful views from the hike and I was proud as we are not young lol hot springs and dinner after we’re a fun relaxing way to end trip!
