We did this tour a couple of weeks ago. Our guide Santos (sp?) was AMAZING!!! It was a such a great day. We started at the hanging bridgesl, where we saw some spider monkeys, tarantulas, and other assorted wildlife. Santos did an excellent job explaining the wildlife to us. After that we had an impromptu stop at the side of the road to see a coati. After this we went to the hike the volcano (where we saw about a billion orchids, some white faced monkeys, large turkey like birds). We got an informative talk about the history of the volcano, the explosion of 1968 (?) and such. There was a lunch after the volcano, after which we went to the waterfall for swimming. Although the water was cold, it wasn't super-cold, and it was swimmable. It was fun attempting to swim up to the waterfall (which isn't really doable as the water keeps pushing you back). But you get a good view, and it is a great location.

This was a great well rounded tour. Our guide was super knowledgeable! It definitely helped having a guide through the hanging bridges to spot animals, birds, and insects. It’s a very tiring day but worth it. We luckily had perfect weather for hiking and viewing Arenal volcano.
