One of the best nature trails in Costa Rica, this hiking tour near Arenal volcano is a blockbuster. You'll observe endemic flora and fauna up close, cross a hanging bridge over the rainforest canopy and visit one of the country's most famous hot springs. A local food tasting is also included.

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of walking through a rainforest, seeing all the plant life and some animals too. The guide was very friendly and informative and the views from the various bridges were breathtaking. A great day out that we would recommend to anyone.

This was an amazing day, the guide and the driver were fabulous, it was a long day but well worth it.

The journey to get there was long , the whole day start to finish was very long around 13h but worth it. The activities were great and we really enjoyed the hike around the park. We were able to see some wildlife which was a bonus.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and attentive . Small group size so that was good. The travelling is a few hours but we were aware of this before we went on the trip. It was around a 12 hour trip and this should be explained before travel as it says 8 hours plus.

David was an excellent tour guide, he was so knowledgeable of the area and of Costa Rica and stopped the bus on the way to and from the trip to show us animals he had spotted. He made sure to explain everything thoroughly on the day, and his enthusiasm really made it a great trip! The journey was a little long, but there are toilet breaks on the way. Just be aware it is an early pick up and breakfast is not provided, but if you're happy to travel the distance, then it is well worth it!
