Amazing. - Very good guide, it was a good experience although it rained a lot and we couldn't see the volcano up close, but eventually we loved it

History and culture and fun - I loved my tour guide, Sergio. I went hiking with him, and he was very knowledgeable about Costa Rican history, and I had a lot of laughs!

Some great photos - Abel was awesome. He used his lens to spot birds and used my phone to take pictures. Not a ton of large wildlife but lots of birds and insects.

Volcano Hike - Amazing experience with Norlan. It ended up being a private tour but the guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He talked the perfect amount and really enhanced the experience.

Rainy but Magical Arenal Adventure - We had an amazing rainforest hike at the foot of the Arenal Volcano, followed by a relaxing visit to the hot springs. Our guide Joseph was fantastic — full of energy and incredibly knowledgeable. Thanks to him, we spotted a sloth right at the beginning of our tour! The hike itself was rainy, but still unbelievably beautiful. Unfortunately, we couldn’t see the volcano because of the weather — that’s nature for you. To end the day, we soaked in the hot springs, which was absolutely wonderful. A perfect finish to a great adventure!

Ended up being the only... - Ended up being the only one booked, so was just me and guide. Easy hike up to viewpoint while looking for wildlife and learning about the area. Only managed to see snakes as raining quite a lot. Unfortunately we weren't able to see Arenal due to weather. Hot spring river was a nice way to end the tour.

A must do hike - Jhonny made sure everyone in our group understood the much knowledge he shared with us, took his time explaining and nade sure nobody was left behind. He was also very passionate about taking the very best professional pictures of the wildlife and was nice enough to have us send him his email to share them :) Thank you for the wonderful experience

Disappointing tour - The tour pickup was late by 45 mins with no communication , wasn’t sure if they were picking us or not . Then wasted more time my joking around and loud speaking by the group guide (Joesph) , no animals were to be found except we saw a marmot like animal and a Toucan towards the end . Then got dropped off at the hot springs in pitch dark , nothing to be seen and overcrowded . Very disappointed with the tour
