A beautiful volcano experience - The views were amazing. We enjoyed interacting with other people on the tour. Our guide Mercedes was informative about the flora and fauna, and the science of the volcano. We enjoyed the feast of fruits on our return to the van.

Great choice for hiking the Arenal Volcano with experienced guide and driver - Mercedes our guide was excellent. Manuel our driver and chef was fantastic. The hike was just the right amount of challenging and stopping to enjoy the views. They were on time for pick up. The driver was smooth and I didn’t get motion sickness on the drive. We loved celebrating our anniversary in this romantic and adventurous way. Highly recommend this way to enjoy the Arenal Volcano. Thank you Mercedes and Manuel! -Megan and Andy

Beautiful - Marcellas was an excellent tour guide. He knew so much about the plants and wildlife. Very interesting learning the history of the volcano while standing so close to it. A truly amazing experience, we even saw a sloth before we existed the parking lot!

Family volcano hike - We went a the tour with Mercedes and his team. It was brilliant, they picked us up from our hotel, we stopped to look at a sloth (a bonus) and then on the volcano hike. Mercedes was so knowledgeable about all the wildlife and vegetation. Our boys loved the tour and found the hike easy enough to do (ages 6 &9). I highly recommend.

Great Hike with view of the Arenal Volcano - Great Tour with a short steep hike up to have a beautiful view of the volcano. The clouds didn't clear up completely to see the top of the Volcano but it still was definitely worth it. We were lucky enough to be the only ones to book the tour that morning, so we basicly had a private tour. Mercedes - our guide - did a fantastic job an is very knowledgeable and kind. On the tour we were also able to spot two white nosed coati and a few Sloths. Would recommend.

Arenal Volcano tour - Fantastic tour with our guide, Ricardo! We had a wonderful time hiking up to see the lava flows. Ricardo was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot. We got to see a variety of animals during the rainforest hike portion, including monkeys! At the end, we were treated to some fresh fruit, which was so delicious. Highly recommend this tour to anyone in La Fortuna.
