Great tour with an exceptional guide! - This was a great tour, but our amazing guide, Yulian, really made our day. We thoroughly enjoyed him, his knowledge, enthusiasm, and fun personality. It has been the highlight of our trip!

Hanging Bridge wildlife walk - We had an amazing walk along the trail crossing the many swinging bridges with Diego as our guide. Without him we would not have seen the many species of wildlife that he not only spotted for us, but told us all about each animal. I would highly recommend that anyone doing the trail go with an experienced guide.

Suspension Bridges and Animals Galore! - This was a fantastic nature tour. Our guide Carlos was extremely knowledgeable of the plants and animals we encountered. He was able to hear the chirp of the poison arrow frog and then locate and photograph for us. The small group tour is well with the added cost as you are not rushed Alberto the bus driver was very good as well taking the curvy roads nice and slow since we had some folks who were sensitive to motion sickness. A fine snack of local fruits and drinks and chips awaited us at the end of our tour. Don’t miss out on this wonderful adventure.

This is a great excursion with a great company! - This was a great experience and our guide Cyndi (Cynthia) was fantastic! She was super knowledgeable and fun. We saw so much wildlife and she spotted so many creatures we would’ve missed on our own. The park is so well maintained and we felt super safe. It was definitely a highlight of our trip.

Arenal Hanging Bridges with Guide Cindy - We had an amazing experience at the Arenal Hanging Bridges with our guide Cindy. She was so well-versed in everything "jungle" and found so many hidden animals for uss to view and photograph with her help. We saw two venomous vipers, a Costa Rican turkey, tons of lizards and tarantulas, plus the ever elusive red/green poisonous frog. We would do this again without a second thought!! The bridges themselves were fun to cross with many opportunities for great pictures...

A Must Do- even in the rain! - An enjoyable day despite a downpour! Diego and Ronald, our guides could not have been more knowledgeable about the park’s wildlife and shared in our excitement when discovering monkeys, snakes and birds on the trail. A special treat was waiting for us at the end which was a nice surprise and much appreciated.

Not a Happy Camper - This was a 2 part tour, the first part was the Hanging Bridges which was good and the guide was good, the second part was at Paradise Springs where we were dropped off and told they would pick us up at 4:00pm, we checked out and the employee at the springs told us they called and would be 15 minutes late, 30 minutes later I was texting them and they did not respond, the employee called from her phone several times before they picked up which was now 4:45, they finally came but we had missed a dinner we were supposed to go to with family due to this, with no explanation, I would not recommend.
