| I did: (1) half day canopy tour. You wear mountain climbing gear and slide across the tree tops on cables. Lots of fun and kinda scary. Do it. Jungle, monkeys, Iguanas. Guides were safety conscious and friendly. (2) Arenal volcano night trip. This was all day 9:00am-11:00pm. Worth the price of the whole trip. Beautiful country around Arenal Lake, where we had lunch at a German style restaurant. The hot springs and jungle setting are beautiful. The water is HOT. You can’t stay in there too long. After dinner there, we drove around the other side of the volcano (after dark). It rumbles and spits our the red hot rocks/lava junks that proceed to crash down the mountain side. It glows in the dark. An amazing view of Mother Nature. And, (3) Sunset cruise – We went on a two masted sail boat. German captain. Very nice, with lots of info. about the local area. They served us beer, wine, chips, and fruit. Very relaxing on our last day.
Others in our party did: (1) Pottery village – half day, Indian artisans. They recommend it. (2) All day canopy tour, horseback ride, mud bath, rain forest. They said good, but long day. (3) River tour – crocs, etc. and good (4) Horseback rides – good (5) Dives – They loved it. Saw sharks, eels, rays. Lots of fish. Visibility is not as good as Caribbean due to plankton, but the amount of fish made up for it. Several went on night dives, and returned for additional days diving.
