- Lake Arenal - On this tour, we will travel a low-traffic route for approximately 8 miles (13 km) each way. The two main attractions of the area, the majestic Arenal Volcano and Lake Arenal, will give us incredible views on either side, as we cross picturesque towns, forests, and streams.
It is important to highlight that you do NOT need to be an expert cyclist for this tour. The tour is an excellent combination of nature and recreational, non-competitive sport; however, we can adapt the route to your desired difficulty level and extend the tour to a little more than 8 miles (13 km) if needed.
Along the ride, it is possible to encounter wildlife species such as coatis, monkeys, toucans, and herons, among others. A guide will accompany you on the tour and our assistance van will be near, in case you need anything.

Beautiful ride! - We had the best time! Tougher ride than I expected but it was still wonderful. We really enjoyed our time. We were able to see spider monkeys on the way. I chose to take the van back while my husband continued on.

Great Tour! - This is a moderately challenging road course along Arenal Lake. We had Christopher and Jose who were both awesome. We learned a lot about the local plants and animals and Tico culture. Great tour!

Diego was our excellent tour guide - Gracias a Diego por ser nuertro guía en la vuelta ciclista. Diego was our excellent guide, friendly and professional and patient with our different speeds. When my wife got in the bus at the end of the one way ride, Diego rode back with me at full speed and we had fun. Bikes were okay, not súper but hey, it wasn't such a long ride,

Great way to see Arenal with a great tour company - Gonzalo was our bike guide and he was amazing. We were picked up on time and transported to the starting point. He was very attentive to our physical needs and stopped along the way to show us scenic spots for pictures. This is just one is the three services we booked with Jacamar in Costa Rica. I will give the company 100% positive review based on my family’s experience. It’s not the tour itself, because all your companies can offer similar your packages. However, it is based on the absolutely attentive service we received. The staff (guides/drivers) were sincere, punctual (to the minute), friendly, attentive, patient, knowledgeable, and respectful throughout the trip, in every trip we had with them. Feel very good about choosing them and highly recommended.

Awesome Ride Along Arenal Lake! - We had a private biking tour (approx. 10-mile, somewhat hilly) around Arenal Lake. Carlos -- our guide -- was excellent, very personable and informative of things in the area. Along with support van (Charie was the driver and prepared a nice fruit lunch), we had a memorable ride along the lake with a beautiful view of the Arenal Volcano...highly recommend!

Great tour! - We had the best time with Diego. He introduced us into so many things that he's passionate about — his country, cycling, nature. We had a great time!

Great Day near Lake Arenal & the Volcano - Bike tour around Arenal Lake and Volcano
Our tour guy was excellent. He spoke great English. He took lots of pictures for us and of us others while riding. He was very informative and made the ride fun and educational. The bikes were very nice and easy to ride. There were some hills that you had to work up but as long as you use the gears correctly it was much easier. We loved the pineapple at the end. It was absolutely delicious. The destination at the end of the ride on the river was absolutely beautiful. I would recommend doing this tour during the week because on the weekend many locals spend their time on the lake and the road can get busy at times. I would highly recommend this to anybody of any age that likes to bike ride and doesn’t mind a few hills.
