Relaxing way to end our trip

Published on Aug, 2024

Jose was a wonderful guide, narrating the wildlife and sites along the way. Fernando was a very skilled driver. It rained on the way back and the winding mountain roads would have been scary with a less skillful driver. The boat tour and hot springs were a nice way to end our trip to Costa Rica and we boarded our flight the next day very relaxed.

ARENAL Y BALDI

Published on Mar, 2023

Very good tour with fantastic views of volcan Arenal and a nice experience at the Baldi hot springs. Did it with a baby, everything was rightly timed and organized.

Pricey but do it!

Published on Jun, 2022

We had an amazing time. Highly recommend it. Jim was our driver and Alberto was our tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks guys! Lastly, The Baldi Hotel/hot springs was everything it was hyped up to be.

A wonderful way to spend the day!
