Relaxing afternoon on the lake

Claire_R, Jan 2025

Very relaxing, calm lake. My husband and I really enjoyed this as a great way to see the lake and surrounding trees from a different perspective. We learned a lot about Costa Rica from our tour guide. Our son, aged 10, enjoyed it but not as much as the more thrilling activities - it is very relaxing!

Fun and safe way to experience the beauty of Arenal Lake

Justin_B, Feb 2024

We had a great time kayaking Lake Arenal with Jacamar Naturalist Tours. Our private excursion featured timely pickup from hotel, a quick drive to the kayak platform, and a fun adventure on the lake. Kayaking Lake Arenal was a wonderful way to see the volcano in a new way, with stunning views and pristine water. Our guide Nelson was fantastic, and he went out of his way to ensure our family felt safe. Our 10 year old daughter had a blast riding in a double kayak with him. Highly recommend this experience. We started at 8am and were back at our hotel by 11:15, so it's a great half day activity to weave into your visit to La Fortuna.
