We came on a private tour for a week to Coast Rica, and had a number of tours arranged for us with Aventuras Arenal / Arenal Adventures. Two of our tours were guided by Marcos, an excpetionally knowledgeable and interesting young man, who made these tours come alive. He spotted animals and birds that would have remained invisible to me... More

My husband Kyle and I did the Safari River Float and the Arenal Volcanic Hike with Gustavo and he was excellent! Knowledgeable about the area and wildlife, patient with the more "difficult" guests during the hike (we had a private tour on the river) and spoke English and Spanish well. The River Float was really peaceful and we saw a... More

We hired Erick Guzman for a hike in the El Silencio Reserve next to Arenal National Park. Erick is an excellent guide. The hike started a 5 PM and got us to the volcano view just as the sun was setting. The rest of the hike was through the reserve in the dark. Very interesting! Erick was able to spot... More

We just came back from a wonderful visit to CR. While staying in the Arenal area we took an evening hike to El Silencio Reserve to see the volcano and wildlife after dark with Erick Guzman. It was one of the highlights of our trip. There is good bird viewing just before sunset and the light is beautiful. After the... More

We were scheduled to go on the Volcano Hike followed by the EcoTermales where we could enjoy the hot springs and also have dinner there. The guide was suppose to pick us up at our hotel at 2:20 (they even left a note on our door the day before to remind us). First of all, he never showed up till... More

We did the Hanging Bridges Tour, Tabacon Hot Spings, Arenal Volanco Tour and La Fortuna Waterfalls. Hosa our tour guidewas with us for all the tours. Excellent Tour Guide. He has a wealth of information and jokes. If you take these tours I would request Hosa. Thank you. The Cornman Family

My friend and I arranged for the 4 in 1 tour that included the Arenal hanging bridges, La Fortuna Waterfall, the volcano hike, and a visit to Tabacon Hot Springs that included a dinner. Our guide, Froy, was absolutely fantastic. Funny, friendly, engaging, and very easy to talk to about any questions. He knew a TON about every place we... More

Hike was shorter than expected, but easy to walk until you get to the lava flows, then you need to use a little creativity when making your way up, but there are arrows painted. From the top you definitely have a closer view to the volcano and can hear the rumbles. We did not get to see any lava flows,... More

We used Aventuras Arenal (or Arenal Adventures in english) for three tours: Arenal Volcano hike, Cano Negro Tour, and horseback to La Fortuna. I'll review each separately: The Volcano hike was very "meh". The guide was reading a volcano information book that we picked up from the hotsprings for a few dollars. He pointed out some of the plants but... More
