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.

Es war ein sehr schöner langer erlebnisreicher Tag. Die Hängebrücke waren toll. Wir haben viele Tiere gesehen. Der Besuch der heißen Quelle war sehr wohltuend und entspannend nach der Hängebrückenwanderung. Unser Guide Jairo war super. Hat viel erklärt und gezeigt.

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.

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!

Amazing trip with a brilliant guide (Nacho) and driver ( Eric). It’s not cheap at over £500 for a family of four. We saw crocodiles, sloths, an Oscelot, lizards, birds, bats, monkeys and white faced coiti. Eric stopped the bus a couple of times for us to see sloths and Nacho was great at spotting the wildlife with his telescope. Hot springs were relaxing. Food was ok but not amazing - we had lunch at about 2.30 and were ready for it! Overall an amazing experience.

Spectacular trip, but you need a head for heights and stamina for the climbs and descents! At least 6 Hanging Bridges up to 98 metres in length that will swing whilst being crossed but amazing views. Beware it is a Rain Forest and yes it rains, Ponchos can be purchased for those who travel light and without rain protection as we did. Plenty to see and learn from the guides. After lunch it is into the Volcanic Springs, which the higher up you go the hotter the water is. With only 73 minutes difference in Day Light between Shortest to Longest day the Sunset around 6.00pm on the return will be the Icing on the Cake.
