Great time
The Jet ski trip was booked via the hotel and transportation was on time and pleasant. I had a great time and really enjoyed the waters and the view of the volcano. In total we were on Lake Arenal for around 1.5 hours.
There was a short break to swim in the lake. Josue was kind enough to take photos and videos.

Awesome time Jet Skiing!!!
What an amazing experience! Our tour guide Josue was fantastic!!! He let my fiancé and I explore the lake freely. He also pointed out some super cool sights. He was very knowledgeable about the area and learned so much history about the lake. He also took multiple videos and pictures of my fiancé and I riding around on our jet ski that look awesome!! Highly recommend this excursion.

Great Jet Ski experience!
Our guide, Gustavo, was the best! We had so much fun! The lake is massive with great views of the volcano and dam. We began with a few minutes of rain but we were going to get wet anyway. Parts of the lake were choppy from the wind so it was challenging at times…which we like! Lake water very warm which was pleasant. Bring towels and a change of shirt for the AC ride back. Our driver was nice and pulled over to point out sloths and other wildlife. Very professional company. Good value.
