Relaxing Tour with Stunning Views - If you're looking for minimal activity and more relaxation, this tour is perfect. The viewpoint for Arenal Volcano is breathtaking, and the hot springs at Baldi are incredibly soothing. There's also a spa if you’re in the mood for a massage—I tried it, and it was amazing. The tour bus is spacious and comfortable, and the driver was excellent. It’s the best tour bus driving experience I’ve had in Costa Rica. Nela, the tour guide, is very patient and knowledgeable, making the trip even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially towards the end of your vacation when you’re seeking more leisure than adventure.

Good Baldi hot spring, volcano seeing is weather dependent - picked up was very early at 5:30am. We were taken to a restaurant for breakfast but it was self funded. We already ate breakfast in our apartment-hotel. It generally takes a long time to drive to a destination. We only spent 20 minutes in the volcano and the cloud was covering it so not much to see. We spent almost 5 hours in the Baldi hot spring and that resort was nice because it has many pools. I hope their lockers and changing rooms are bigger and easier to use and it cost $7 USD / locker.

Long day. A little boring - It turned about to be a long. 6 hrs total in a very uncomfortable bus. The baldi spa was ok. All of the pools went from Hot to extremely Hot. No pools to cool down in. Was there for 4 hours and got bored. Can only my stay in a spa setting for so long.

Fraud tour - Useless experience , charged for volcano and baldi springs but was taken directly to resort without even showing the glimpse of volcano The whole trip was a waste of time, flight , hotel plus 300 for the tour for 2 people . Total disappointed and felt like cheated .

Terrible - save your money - Save your money. Tour guide and driver did not interact with group (4) at all. Basically just a taxi service. Only spent 15-20 minutes at the volcano. Guide had nothing to add..no history, anything. Driver and guide were very unprofessional. Such a waste, 4 hrs at hot springs…left on your own. 4 hrs is a bit extreme when CR has so much to see/do

They were a NO SHOW ! Wasted money and day! - My friend and I booked this tour more than 24 hours ahead. We contacted them 3x the day before to confirm pick up location and time. We woke up super early, called them to confirm again, got to our pick up spot and they NEVER showed up. Extremely disappointed and frustrated as our last day in Costa Rica was ruined with no other plans. STOP TAKING PEOPLE’S MONEY FOR A SERVICE YOU DONT INTEND TO PROVIDE! Shame on you guys!
