It was a great experience!
The guides are experienced and fun!
The scenery is, of course, beautiful and rugged.
And the climb to the volcano is not that advanced. It’s steep, but the terrain is moderate in difficulty.
From reading the reviews about tardiness, they were late, but they rely heavily upon the timeliness of their clients being ready for the shuttle, as they go from hotel to hotel.
Plus- PURA VIDA baby!!!

Positive: Isac our guide was enthusastic and helpful. Negative: The tour was disorganized and co-mingled with other tours. We spent the majority of our time standing around or on buses waiting as people were shuffled around. Our buses were shared with groups also doing geothermal pools, waterfall, and river tours. Isac did well keeping us informed however the tour company does not respect the time of it’s customers.

The operating company did not communicate any info prior to the activity. They arrived to pick us up 1 hour late - had to call them twice to see if they were coming. I had tried to contact them 2 days prior on the Viator app to confirm pickup time and had gotten no response. The actual activity was misrepresented on Viator. There was only 1 short volcano hike instead of 2 as stated in the description. The main tour guide was ok, and very limited English spoken by the 2nd guide so felt we didn’t get all the info we should have. Overall it looked like other groups we passed had better guides and felt this was not worth the price. The tour guide did his best to find wildlife so that was a plus.

We had a fabulous adventure! Raoul and Nolan were excellent guides as we hiked the volcano, visited the observatory, swung on rope swings into lakes and experienced incredible wildlife ! Highly recommend!

Due to covid, it was just me on the tour which was actually quite great. Agusto? (butchered name or spelling) was my guide and he was very high energy and knowledgable. I wouldn't classify this as an extreme hike by any means but it's really pretty to see Arenal on both sides.

The best day, w an amazing leader Jonathan knowledgable , good sense of humor and a proud Costa Rican. Grp members from around the world and various ages. Beautiful settings, VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES on day long trip. Lunch tasty however no snacks provided as advertised. Sign up when made possible.

This trek was a fun short jungle trek on two different sides of Arsenal National Park. That said it is not a trek on either volcano in the region. It is misleading in this sense as climbing the volcanoes is illegal.
Enjoy your jungle tour, swim ,hanging bridge walk and local lunch:)
