Good views & peaceful lake - Great views! Very peaceful. Recommend wearing just a swimsuit because you will get wet and have drive clothes for ride home!

Magical time at the lake!!!!! - This was the best experience during out trip to La Fortuna. We got lucky with an amazing day of weather but even luckier with our tour guide David who helped us spot birds and animals and even pulled over while dropping us off at the hostel to see a sloth since we hadn't yet on the trip! He was amazing and any tour with him would be fantastic.

So fun and relaxing - So fun! Our guide Saul, was great and so sweet and knowledgeable. Kayaking across the lake was a little difficult due to the current and wind, but so much fun regardless! We were able to stop and swim for a little bit at a little island. The volcano was covered by clouds but we were able to see the sun peek out a little while we were on the lake. Would highly recommend!

INCREDIBLE kayaking in lake Arenal - Had so much fun kayaking on the lake with Eddy! The views of the mountains and small islands are incredible! Able to see so many birds and other wildlife. Definitely a workout though, and winds can be pretty tough. Totally worth it for the experience, and Eddy made sure everyone had a good time and learned about the area. Very personable and fun! Would 100% recommend for a visit in La Fortuna

Kayaking with Roger - Great to be kayaking when I know our rivers at home are still solid!
Roger, our guide, is true CR, born under the volcano & had great knowledge of Lago Arenal, and area.

Fun paddle on Lake Arenal. - Two couples with lots of canoeing experience were able to get out on the water on a beautiful March day. The guide could lead us at our pace, and was an excellent bird watcher. He spotted birds and had a lot to say about them, as well as the development of the area. Great resource of information. We really enjoyed ourselves.
