The Best Trips Company - It was amazingly good company to travel, the lady who led me through the volcano (her name is Katis) is very good at her job

Fascinating walk, so much to see - Our walk was great, and so much depends on the guide. Ours was stunningly well-informed and a great communicator, so we learned loads on the short and clear but steepish path up to volcano lookout point overlooking the 1968 lava flow. And then on the longer but gentler descent we were helped to spot a huge variety of birds, small animals and a couple of monkeys in the distance. Really impressive to spot and identify wildlife so quickly and accurately, be able to point it out (& take quality close-up photos via his spotter scope). An eye-opening introduction to Costa Rican forest wildlife: thank you much:)

You have to take the excursion - The excursion to the volcano is very interesting. We couldn't see the entire volcano because it frequently has cloudy peaks. The climb, although not very long, is hard

Distant Views of Arenal Volcano - Encompassing 30,000 acres, this lush park provides wide pathways to deliver the visitor down to Lake Arenal, where distant views across to Arenal Volcano are optimal. There is an incline on the way back up from the lake and it is HOT! Make certain that you bring water with you, as you will need it. You can make a rest stop at bathrooms located along the path if needed. There is also a viewing platform with stairs; this is a great photo op area for distant Volcano shots. Keep alert as you walk along the dense growth. Lovely flowering plants & animals can be spotted along the way.

Thank you for the great time! - The tour guide was an informative, experienced, and fun person to have! My friends and I had a blast getting to know a bit of Costa Rica, even in the rain with the enthusiasm of our tour guide. Would recommend it to other adventurers who'd like to know La Fortuna!

Hike and Hot Springs - My husband, daughter and I had a private tour on a perfect sunny day. It was a perfect mix of easy walking and rocky climbs to get a good workout. The views of the volcano and lake were gorgeous. We learned about the Viper snake right as I started to get close to one to take a photo. The tour guide encouraged me to move along quickly as she explained that one bite could kill me. We refreshed with treats and beer after the hike then moved on to enjoy the Tabacon Hot Springs. The tour included dinner after the hot springs, and we were given lockers. The dining atmosphere was very nice, and the food was delicious. The activities complimented each other perfectly.

Fantastic day with a great guide (Antonio) - The arena volcano walk was made even better thanks to our guide Antonio who was fantastic. His knowledge of the fauna and the flora that he would share generously was excellent ! We then went to the waterfalls for a dip in the cold water under the tropical rain, an unforgettable experience. After a really lovely lunch we went to the suspended bridge area where we saw all kind of animals and trees. We booked the three tours but they can be done separately. Highly recommended.

Great date! - It was an incredible experience! The company was very accommodation. Due to hazardous driving conditions we missed the first part of the trip (national park hike) but the company was kind enough to allow us to go to the hotsprings! The pictures don’t do it justice it was a great time!!

Beautiful and educational - We had an amazing experiance with David as our guide! His knowledge of the area was impressive and he had an ability to find so much wildlife. He passion for the tours is pure. We did the full day of hike, waterfall, hanging bridges and hot springs. The hot spring dinner was a perfect way to unwind after a busy day. We highly recommend this company!

Volcano and hot springs is a great combination - We took this tour with a tour guide Jose who walked us around the Arenal Hanging Bridges Park. He told us interesting facts about the park itself, flora and fauna. He has a great catchy eye and helped us to see animals and birds. He is also a good photographer! We enjoyed soaking at Baldi Hot Springs thermal pools. Please note to have $7 with you to pay for a locker if you wish to get one.
