Great Experience - We had an amazing experience. Our guide, Gio, was wonderful. He was knowledgeable, passionate, and personable. He went above and beyond with the entire group. We saw lots of wildlife and enjoyed the hanging bridges. We were lucky to see most of Arenal as well! Breakfast and lunch were great. The trip was long from our hotel but that was expected. The stops along the way for breakfast and other activities helped break up the time. We would recommend this excursion!

Lake Arenal and the Volcano are so lush and exquisite. - It's a fabulous day trip. You should probably take a poncho or wear a waterproof coat in case it rains. Be prepared to walk a lot. I did 15,800 steps that day.

Lake Arenal and Hot springs with hanging bridges hike. - Such a great day! While driving to Arenal Volcano, our guide Daniel, shared information about Costa Rica. We stopped for breakfast and had a wonderful traditional breakfast with an excellent view of Lake Arenal. We drove on to visit the hanging bridges. There we saw snake, bats, birds, and got to walk 3 bridges. We then went to the Hot Springs and relaxed in a beautiful setting. We then went on to have lunch right at the base of the volcano. Such a beautiful area. The tour was excellent and our guide Danial was as well!
