Mario was an excellent guide! We learned a ton about the history of the region and the volcano - would recommend! The hike was not difficult.
Our tour guide was making!! He went above and beyond. The view was literally breath taking!! Then we got to go to the hot springs and have a buffet dinner
Guide was over an hour late. Our description said it was an hour hike and it ended up being 2 1/2 hours. She was very knowledgeable and interesting. The hike was a little more than we expected... walking over lots of lava rock. It was beautiful, though!! We were expecting hot springs instead we got lots of warm pools at a hotel resort. The buffet was not very appetizing and had limited offerings.
I used 7 Tours for several tours during my time in La Fortuna. Kenya was my guide each time and was fantastic. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and ecosystem as well as the history of Costa Rica. Highly recommend!
I enjoyed the information and adventure that Pablo shared with us and also Miguel the driver. They are great duo!
This was a nice hike. The view was amazing. It did rain a little bit but that was when we started heading down the volcano. The food was so bomb!!!
The Arenal Volcano trek was really good a very knowledgeable guide, this part of the trip would receive 5 stars. The hot spring experience was not worth the money. I would of rather gone to the free hot springs with a pic nic. Food was really below par and our worst dining experience in Costa Rica, what is made out to be a gourmet experience is not much better to school dinners in the 1980s. The hot springs not that hot despite lying about the temperature
Our guide Miguel was knowledgeable, he gave us commentary about history of volcano as we hiked to the observatory where we can view top of the volcano and Arenal lake. Please be warned it is not a soft hike. The hike has way too many rocks (it's not muddy surface, it's just a lot of rocks making it hard on your feet). It's an intermediate level hike. Even though tour description over here says "water bottle and snack included", we were not given a water bottle by the tour guide. He said originally that he has some water for us, but when we asked he pointed us to a restaurant (after our hike) to get our own bottle refilled over there. I am glad we carried enough water for us ourselves. After the hike and taking photos, we were driven to Baldi hot springs which was a lot of fun. Baldi has a lot of different pools with varying water temperatures and it was nice and relaxing to soak in that. we had an hour or so before eating dinner and 45 minutes or so after dinner to relax in pools. The dinner had a lot of vegetarian options and was delicious. We were given enough time at Baldi hot springs to enjoy ourselves and were picked up at 9:15 pm to be driven back to our hotel.
They were more than 1,5 hour late… And then the weather didn’t allow us to see the volcano… plus it was getting late and dark at the end because of the delay..
We had a wonderful hike with Fabrizio. He was extremely knowledgeable about everything along the hike, and made us feel right at home in Arenal. He took us to places to get great views of the volcano. Very prompt and courteous service! Thank you!
