Kayaking on Lake Arenal
Your adventure starts on the calm waters of Lake Arenal, surrounded by lush forest and distant hills. You paddle for about two hours along a quiet shoreline filled with vibrant vegetation. The water is stable, allowing you to enjoy uninterrupted views of Arenal Volcano from every angle. Wildlife is common in this area. You may spot Ospreys, Cormorants, and Kingfishers soaring over the lake. Howler monkeys and coatis often move along the forest edges. Sloths sometimes rest on branches near the water.
After your kayaking session, you take a relaxing break by the lake. A light picnic with fresh local snacks helps you recharge and enjoy the scenery at a slower pace.
Mountain Biking Through Rural Trails
Once you finish your break, it’s time for the biking section of the tour. You switch to a mountain bike and follow a guided route through forest trails, small rivers, and peaceful rural villages. The terrain is varied but manageable, making the experience enjoyable for most travelers. As you ride, feel the fresh breeze and the rhythm of the countryside.
