This 'tour' is not what it says!

Julie_W, Jun 2026

This had nothing to do with the Arenal Observatory. We went there and we were told it wasn't there. Asked someone, and it was much further down the road. The roads to get there were almost impossible for us to get to with our car. When we finally arrived we were told there was no guide. It is self guided. We start the walk. It was not a walk. It was a strenuous hike up and down on a narrow path. We saw monkeys and they were shaking the trees and throwing things at us. That was the only wild life we saw. We went back to the parking lot and the worker told us that he would take out picture in front of the 'El Castillo' words and volcano for a fee of 1k colones per person. We attempted to communicate with the worker about the address and directions issue and he didn't seem to understand us, using google translate. After the tour we were not offered any kind of snacks or drinks, which was also supposed to be included. The only thing going for this place is the view but it's not worth the $45/per person that we spent. Also, the pictures that travelers posted on this site do not look like the place that we went to. The pictures that the operator/tour company posted do match the place. Do NOT pay for this tour. You do not get what you are supposed to get!

Be cautious when booking!

Be cautious when booking this activity! They gave us incorrect meeting point, so we were not able to have this experience. The receptionist at the Arenal Lodge and Trails informed us that they couldn’t find our booking number. They gave us directions to El Castillo, however we weren’t not able to find this place. Very disappointed as we were looking forward to the monkey tour and picnic views.
