    Our guide, Franklin, was fantastic! We all think he’s part Billy Goat because the man can walk at a very fast pace that makes 20-year olds gasp for air.

    He was so helpful, pleasant and knowledgeable of the area, the history, the wildlife and plants.

    We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Arenal!

    Swim in a waterfall with sandy beaches, see wildlife with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, and stretch your legs with a hike to another stunningly beautiful blue waterfall.

    Great trip! From pick up to drop off everything was smoothly done. We highly recommend. The drinks on the island were delicious and strong, and the vibe was very relaxing.

    An amazing adventure! We all had a blast. It had adrenaline and you had the controls but the guides were supportive when I got scared. The repelling was the most fun for me, the kids liked jumping into the water. One of the best adventures of our lives!

    Such an amazing experience with friendly and awesome guides. Zipline guides also pointed out plants and animals we never would've seen on our own. 100% recommend.

    Best excursion my friends and I have ever been on. Amazing site seeing for pictures, a nice dip in the waterfall to end it all with a delicious meal. 10/10 would recommend. Our tour guide Joseth was patient, respectful, and a great addition to our experience.

    Tour guide was great! Very resourceful and very charismatic. We saw and did a lot cool things like swimming at La Fortuna waterfall and seeing cool wildlife and scenery at Hanging bridges. The hike around Arenal volcano was great, too! We learned a lot about the town and area’s history. Definitely recommend to future travelers!

We absolutely loved the tubing trip and the hot springs. The zip lining was also incredible. The buffet lunch was absolutely delicious.

    Olman was an amazing tour guide. He was punctual, professional, flexible and knowledgeable. The tour including the volcano, the coffee plantation and the waterfall park was EXCELLENT. We were picked up on time and even through the traffic was terrible he remained calm and professional. The van was comfortable. The information provided was spot on and sufficient while leaving you wander around alone for small periods which was ideal.
    TOTALLY RECOMMEND !

    Will only visit in off season now 🥰✨🌧️ Ignore all the notions that the rainy season isn’t worth the visit. Infinitely less crowds, better prices on stays, and cool from the daily afternoon rain.

    Invest in a guide, they’re going to get your pictures. And bring beach stuff to enjoy a gorgeous, way less busy beach. No tents or umbrellas, minimal small children, and hikes to enjoy while there!!

    The guides were amazing, knowledgeable, and provided tons of information. Franklin and Max are extremely passionate about their job and that really brings it all together. 10/10 will be back.
