Magical & Unforgettable Tour - The Lake Arenal kayaking excursion was a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. Starting from pick-up, our guide Martin and driver Orlando made sure we were comfortable and having fun. Martin was knowledgable and adapted the tour to our interests. Thanks to his skill and thoughtfulness, we were able to experience the magical surroundings including Arenal volcano and the surrounding primary rainforest. We also saw many species of birds including a Scarlet Macaw… and even howler monkeys! The weather around the volcano changes quickly, so we had both sunshine and rain while kayaking. When we got back to shore, Orlando had towels and fresh fruit prepared for us. 5/5 stars, unforgettable experience from start to finish. Thank you, Martin and Orlando!

Great way to see Lake Arenal - We had a great kayak experience with Nelvin! He explained the history of the lake, pointed out different bird species, and showed us a nice place for a quick swim. He took lots of great photos of the experience. The fruit afterwards was a nice treat as well!

Great time kayaking on Lake Arenal - We really enjoyed our kayak excursion on Lake Arenal. Our guide, Michael Lopez (M-Lo, for short) was so patient with us! My husband and I are very infrequent kayakers, but Michael took it slowly and it was a delightful morning. We saw some neat birds and it was so lovely to be on the water - enjoying the lake and the beautiful reflections. It was a very enjoyable excursion.
