Disappointing

Barbara_M, Mar 2023
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.

Not the best

Kevin_R, Mar 2022
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

Good tour, intermediate level hike, Baldi hot springs was fun

Jignesh_M, Jan 2022
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.

Late

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..

Amazing experience

Shuchi_A, Apr 2021
Hike was good even for beginners. Our guide was so knowledgeable and pointed out some really nice wild life and explained a lot about the volcano and vegetation near it. Hot spring was amazing bring a change of clothes.

Volcano, Toucans, and a Sloth!!

William_J, Jan 2020
Great informative guide and driver! Learned a lot of history on the volcano. Bonus was they spotted Toucans and a Sloth as we approached the parking lot! We stopped and our guide had a tripod monocular which she set up for us to get a closer look!

Great Experience
