Lake Arenal Private Paddle Board Experience

Miranda_E, Feb 2026

Jose was our favorite...

Jose was our favorite guide in all of Costa Rica. He was funny and gentle with instruction, and generous with snacks! It was my husband’s birthday (which we didn’t tell Jose in advance) and he got out a candle, some homemade pastry, and sang. :) He knew every bird we saw. Such a unique experience. We even got to see a bit of the volcano during an otherwise rainy trip. And a rainbow too.

Lake Arenal by Boat & Peninsula Trail (National Park)

Danielle_S, Dec 2025

The guide was...

The guide was knowledgeable and informative. The boat was a little uneventful and it was raining heavily but we made the best of it. We would have liked to hike a bit more but it was perfect for our kids (ages 5 and 7). The park is pristine rain forest. The tour company was professional and the van was comfortable. Highly recommended!

Lake Arenal Sport Fishing Incl. Boxlunch

Lake Arenal Fishing - Fantastic

Our fishing trip was fantastic from start to finish. We were picked up at 5:15 in the morning at our hotel. We were brought to the Lake Arenal docks (approx 20 minutes away) right near Sky Adventure Ziplining park. We met Brian on the dock and we started our fishing adventure at 5:45. The lake is beautiful, we seemed to have all of Lake Arenal and the view of the volcano all to ourselves. We caught a few Rainbow Bass and continue fishing until 11. A fantastic lunch was provided. Brian is a fantastic guide as he has grown up on Lake Arenal and it shows in his knowledge.

Moonshine Sunset Cruise on Lake Arenal

Sue_C, Mar 2026

Beautiful sunset tour highlighted by amazing guide

This was a great tour. Our guide was exceptional but I sadly can’t remember his name! I texted the tour company trying to find out but didn’t hear back. Our guide was so knowledgeable and told us an about the geology, history and animals. He had so many interesting things he shared about Costa Rica as well as the creation of the lake to provide water and power. It was beautiful out on Lake Arenal with great views of the volcano and mountains as well as amazing wildlife (a macaw and huge iguanas. The drinks and snacks were delicious. And the sunset was spectacular. We have been to Costa Rica many times but this will be a special memory.

Know before you go

Score a bird’s-eye view of the lake from the SkyTram gondola or the decks at the Arenal Observatory Lodge & Spa.
Pack sunscreen, insect repellent, water shoes, and a change of clothes if you plan to swim or kayak.
Amenities around the lake are limited, so bring all the food and water you need unless your tour includes a lunch stop.
Costa Rican roads are often unpaved and confusing for visiting drivers, but most tours include transport from La Fortuna hotels.
Transfer tours can get you from Monteverde to La Fortuna with a scenic pontoon boat ride across the lake.
