Jungle hike at Arenal combined with hot springs - Carlos is a very pleasant and friendly person. He was 100% attentive to our needs and knew a lot about nature, volcanoes and animals. The end of the tour at Termalitas was simply wonderful.

Enjoyed the trek! - Very easy slow hike/walk for most. Some step steps. Appreciated the walking sticks provided. Offered water (bring your bottles to fill) but did not see the beers listed as “included”. Our guide was very informative and passionate about the area, history, and would recommend!

Wildlife and volcano hike - The tour included a walk through the rainforest with knowledgable guide, Carlos. He explained some of the flora and fauna, and helped with spotting wildlife, including lizards and a snakle coiled around a tree branch. We then did a hike on lava up to a view spot. As I rounded the corner, a gorgeous view of the Arenal volcano was right before me. Carlos was great with answering my questions on the wildlife and volcano, as well as allowing me some extra time climbing some parts of the hike. I'd recommend the tour, particularly for people who like wildlife, hiking, and volcanos.

Volcano hike and bird watching - Our tour guide Pèpe was excellent the entire tour. I got a little altitude sickness and he was able to assist as we returned back to the starting point. The walk up to the lookout point was not too bad.

Excellent hike - Carlos was an amazing guide who gave us a private tour around the volcano. Excellent knowledge and a keen eye for spotting wildlife. The hike wasn't too taxing despite a hangover, but relaxing in the hot springs with a coco loco afterwards was a real treat. Would definitely recommend.

Passionate and professional tourguide - Our tour guide Kristel was very motivated and full of knowledge. She showed us a lot of aspects of the nature during the tour of the hanging bridges. We learned a lot about the plants and the animals there.

Funny, kind and professional tour - This was the best tour on our vacation. Kristel was amazing and informative.
We met her in town, and she arranged two full days of adventure for us.
She even took action, when one activity took a little too long, so it nearly overlapped with the next. It was all arranged perfectly.
I would highly recommend her.

Waterfall - I would like to recommend in choosing Carlos Salas from Caribbean Winds to get to know Costa Rica. He was a very knowledgeable guide who provided a lot of information about Costa Rica. He was very patient and made us feel included in everything we did. Thank you very much Carlos for making our trip a very memorable experience.

Bad weather - Day was rainy and cloudy. We didn’t see the volcano. Don’t recommend if there isn’t nice weather. Carlos, the guide, was great.
