Arenal Volcano National Park Group Tour – Arenal Volcano Guided Hike
This tour takes you along the main trail at Arenal Volcano National Park.
It starts off through sugar cane fields and then thick rainforest, leading to the viewpoint of the volcano. Here, you’ll be able to walk on the old lava flows from a big eruption in 1992. You will also enjoy a view of Lake Arenal. The terrain is mostly flat except for the walk up to the viewpoint, which is short but steeper.
The tour is with a certified, bilingual naturalist guide. The company that we work with has guides that know a lot about the history of the Arenal area and its prior eruptions as well as about local birds and animals you may encounter. This is useful because there is very little information available at the park so you don’t really know what you are looking at without the guide.
This is the easiest of the volcano hikes in La Fortuna/Arenal. To get to the viewpoint, there’s a well maintained staircase. From there, you walk the old lava flows for a very short distance. This part of the trail is somewhat irregular due to rocks, but easy in difficulty overall.
The tour is a great option for families with young children or anyone looking for an easy hike to see Arenal Volcano.
