What people say

"Although the Arenal Volcano has entered an indefinite resting phase, you can’t get too close for safety reasons (toxic gas and hot steam). Still, numerous hikes lead you around the volcano’s base, through its lava fields, and into the surrounding rainforest. Three main venues offer this bucket-list experience: - Arenal Volcano National Park - Arenal 1968 Private Reserve - Arenal Observatory Lodge and Spa I recommend a guided hike which is sure to elevate your experience. Local and knowledgeable guides are trained to spot native wildlife, detail the 1968 eruption, highlight the regional flora and fauna, and lead the way through the trails. Plus, many guided experiences include transportation to and from the trailhead! "

" These trails are great. There are different levels for beginner, moderate and expert hikers. The beginner trail is about a mile. The moderate trail is about 3 miles and the expert trail is about 5 miles. We had a beautiful day and the trail. We were pretty much alone, other than a few other hikers and viewpoint of the volcano at the top was stunning. We didn’t see any sloth. At the end we went up to the observe observatory look out they had a great menu of food, but we were getting lunch elsewhere so we just got two delicious strawberry daiquiris $15 entrance fee "
"Admission: $25 Hours: Open daily from 7:30 am – 5 pm (Last entrance at 4pm) Two different hiking trails walking on hills formed by lava during the Arenal Volcano 1968 eruption.

This 10 day itinerary and adventure guide to Costa Rica is the result of over 1 month spent exploring the country, dozens of hours of planning, and my in-person experience.

These areas include a variety of waterfalls, hot springs, hikes, wildlife, beaches and much more which is why I decided to focus on these 3 specifically! The guide includes an fun features such as an interactive map, directions that connect directly to your phone’s Google or Apple Maps app, and the exact coordinates to some of my favorite hidden gems & activities. It lays out instructions to help you plan your perfect trip to this area including over 35 accommodation suggestions plus where I stayed myself, 13 waterfall locations, 4 hot springs experiences, 4 hiking destinations, 7 beautiful beaches, boat tours & island day trips, direct links to every resource you could need, exclusive photos and videos from me, and so much more!
