Long ride to get to the... - Long ride to get to the destination and back but a very scenic ride. A good amount of time at the volcano observation point to walk around, do a short hike and take pictures. Plenty of time to relax at the hot springs resort. Make sure to have a change of clothes and a bathing suit. Have cash or a Visa or Mastercard to pay for drinks or additional food.

Amazing! 10/10 experience! - Shout out to our amazing guide - Rocio! She was so nice and sweet and explained things very well! Pick up was on time and was communicated ahead of time! Breakfast was great - it's not included but they let you know that! It was a relaxing time. The volcano was a bit cloudy, but that was outside of our control. It was still great to take pictures. The hot springs were so relaxing and we had ample time to explore the whole resort. You can reserve a locker for 6$ and towels are 10$ but you get the 10$ back when you turn it in. Once again, a really amazing time. Our guide and driver also stopped several times to show us sloths!!!!!

Five stars until the return journey - The guide Maricela did an excellent job, mastered the story and made it interesting. He cared at all times for our needs. The beautiful place... we enjoyed my sister and I incredibly until the moment of return. The driver was very reckless, it rained a lot and the speed was not adequate. Arriving in Alajuela, the journey became a nightmare, even grabbing a build-up of water on the track that caused him to brake sharply. Please converse with him as a wonderful day ended badly.

Was Ehh - It was a cloudy day, so we didn't get to see the volcano. The hot springs were nice, though. The drive from San Jose was long. The bus was not the most comfortable.

It was okay - I was a little disappointed that after a 3 hour drive, we only stayed at Arenal for about 20 minutes. Then spent 5 hours at the hots springs which was too long. It would've also been helpful to know that there was a charge to use the lockers at the hotel.

Bad service and dishonest - The agency canceled my tour on the eve leaving me with no choice and no opportunity to make this tour. This after they have stated that the Tours were already confirmed. In total they canceled three of the Tours that I had already paid, claiming they were unable to close the group.

Fraud tour - Useless experience , charged for volcano and baldi springs but was taken directly to resort without even showing the glimpse of volcano The whole trip was a waste of time, flight , hotel plus 300 for the tour for 2 people . Total disappointed and felt like cheated .
