Shuttle was on time and took us directly to the lake crossing. It was a bumpy ride but beautiful scenery! Lake crossing was efficient and took about 45 mins. Buses were ready on the other side and took us directly to our hotel! Would recommend!

Great way to travel between Monteverde and La Fortuna! Our group enjoyed this experience a lot! The boat crossing was a different way to see the volcano!

The transport from Monteverde to Arenal via water taxi was a much needed day trip during our stay in Monteverde. We were the only ones in our group to make it a round trip in one day but it was perfect for us. We went to the Mistico park and were only charged an extra $40 for both of us to take us to and from the park. The ride in the lake was an experience in itself. If you can take this opportunity.

Dear Grecia_A,
So grateful and delighted to hear from you, and to read your comprehensive review on Faro Travel Costa Rica and the work of our entire Team on this great experience!. As you note, being a family-owned and operated business ensures that we offer first-class and distinctive service.
The Arenal Lake Crossing service (also known as the taxi-boat-taxi or jeep-boat-jeep) is the fastest, most fun, and most popular route between the Monteverde Cloud Forest area and the Arenal Volcano area, combining the excitement of an adventure trip with the convenience of a transport service.
I enjoyed reading that the service was excellent. Our seal of satisfaction will always be exceeding travelers' expectations when using our safe, convenient and comfortable transportation services. We are passionate about what we do, and behind each operation, we have the best professionals taking care of every little detail.
Thank you again for traveling with us and for taking the time to write such a wonderful review. I will pass along your words to the entire Team. I am sure they will be delighted to know that you were pleased with the experience we provided.
Clients like you make this the best and most rewarding job in the world, and we would love to have you traveling with us again in the not-too-far future and provide the same or even a superior level of experience.
