Waterfall and volcano tour - Nice tour, Norlan is an excellent guide! We chose the waterfall+volcano option and we had fun and enjoyed the day despite the rain. Would do it again!

Rainy day but nice! - Perfect day with our guide Norlan, he made us discover medicinal plants during the walk in the park and we ended up with a well deserved rest in the river. Recommanded.

Wildlife and scenery - Fantastic experience. Stunning cloud forest scenery, howler monkey, toucans, crested guans. Our guide Consalo (the Spanish slalom skier) was very knowledgeable and charming.

Very good tour - A very complete tour, in the morning our guide was Norlan and was quite attentive and explained to us very well also was watching the members of the group left behind, that although we go on the quieter trail if you need some physical condition and suitable shoes, the food we were given was delicious, in the afternoon the tour of the bridges changed guide to Augustine and also widely recommended, we extended a bit because we took time to explore and see various species. Thanks for everything, Greetings from Mexico.

A rewarding tough hike - Our guide, Norlan, was entertaining and knowledgeable. The hike to the 2010 lava area was strenuous, but I’m nearly 60 years old and come from a flat, sea level land. This was neither. We made it to the end of the blue trail and had a perfect, clear view of Arenal Volcano. Norland says it is rare to see the top uncovered by clouds, but we were his lucky group. We also spotted a white hawk (new to me) and a sloth on this journey. Lunch was modest and served with a welcoming cold peach tea. After lunch we skittered to a natural hot springs and lounged there for about an hour. Bring water shoes or sandals for this as there are edgy rocks everywhere, which makes for sore bare feet. We were delivered safely back to our hotel at 330pm where we realized we were exhausted. But it was a good exhaustion.
