Itinerary

Liberia (Pass By)

Know as the "white city" Liberia is the capital of Guanacaste and the main city in the North Pacific side of the country.
N/A

Café Macadamia is the best restaurant in Arenal Volcano lake. People from all over Costa Rica and from around the world travel to this place to taste the amazing food with the best view of the Arenal Volcano Lake. In here we will have breakfast

1 hour
Lake Arenal (Pass By)

Lake Arenal sits at the base of the Arenal Volcano in the northern highlands of Costa Rica. It is the country’s largest landlocked body of water, with a surface that covers nearly 33 square miles (85 square km) and a depth that reaches some 200 feet (60 m). In 1979, Lake Arenal was enlarged to three times its original size with the construction of a hydroelectric dam. The towns of Arenal and Tondadora, which were originally sited on the spot where the lake now rests, were relocated to the northeastern side of the lake. Nowadays, Lake Arenal’s dam is hugely important to the country, as it produces nearly 12% of Costa Rica’s electric energy.
Arenal Hanging Bridges

A short walk will introduce you to the interactions of the rainforest and the hanging bridges will show you a different view of the area.

2 hours

From Jungle Walks to Volcanic Baths: A Cool Arenal Adventure!

Published on Jan, 2025

I signed up for this tour thinking I was about to embark on some hardcore jungle adventure—like dodging lava flows and swinging through trees like Tarzan. Spoiler alert: it’s not. But hey, it’s still a good time! The day kicks off with breakfast at a spot boasting jaw-dropping views of a man-made lake. Next up is the jungle walk at MisticoPark. They hype up those hanging bridges like they’re death-defying, but trust me, you’ll be fine (yes, even if you have kids who think they’re Spider-Man). You’ll spot plenty of wildlife—bugs, snakes, toucans, monkeys, and if you’re really lucky, a sloth just chilling. The best part? Nothing jumps out at you, so leave your horror movie fears at home. Then it’s off to the volcanic baths. The water ranges from “mmm, cozy” to “OMG, I’m being boiled alive!” But honestly, it’s heavenly, and you’ll feel like a soup dumpling in the best way. The tour wraps up with a late lunch at a local hotel, where you’ll finally sit down and realize, “Wow, I didn’t have to walk on lava after all!” The guide? A champ—sticking with you the whole way like a trusty sidekick. One warning: The drive is so twisty. If motion sickness is your nemesis, pop some pills beforehand unless you want to turn the van ride into a personal disaster movie. All in all, would recommend—just maybe dial down your Indiana Jones expectations!

Outstanding excursion! Worth the drive from Guanacaste

Published on Nov, 2024

This tour was outstanding. Our guide, Arturo, was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable and informative and he made it a fun and memorable experience. One thing we were unprepared for was how rainy it was in the rain forest (guess we should have known). Bring a rain jacket, change of clothes, extra towels, bags for wet clothes and something warm for the ride home.

A must do

Published on Nov, 2024

Wonderful day. Easy hotel pick-up, friendly driver. Great breakfast and lunch included. Beautiful views at both breakfast and lunch restaurants. Amazing guide. Awesome views of Arenal Volcano and hanging bridges. We saw monkeys, sloths, birds, insects and then had a relaxing time at hot springs. Overall a great tour.

Excellent Company!

Published on Nov, 2024

CAT Tours was exceptional. We booked a trip through AAA and they used CAT Tours for our excursions and transportation. What a great experience. The excursions were professional and interesting and the transportation on time. They even found a way for us to get to the airport when the roads were flooded by booking a water taxi with a different company. We were safe and sound in their care. Fantastic experience!
