Reviews of Arenal Hanging Bridges Tour

take a taxi and go on your own

While we loved the hanging bridges and we saw monkeys in the trees and some beautiful flora and fauna and waterfalls we did not like our tour. The guide spent so much time standing around and talking about the eco system which is basic knowledge and after one time through it did not need to be explained several times more. Some of us on the tour figured out that he was winded and couldnt keep up a normal pace and spent time talking to allow him to rest. I should have seen the writing on the wall when he said that this tour needed several hours and would we mind if we stayed a couple of hours longer as he could not tell us everything about the area in such a short time. We had another tour and needed to be done in the time listed. Many thanked us after for sticking with the time as we were all bored out of our minds.
It is something to see but you can take a taxi and enter on your own and enjoy at your own pace. It is not for those who cant walk a couple of miles. There was one man in a walker that was heading back by himself and I was worried about him.

Hanging Bridges

Great excursion: knowledgeable, proficient guide; incredible biodiversity; efficient pace; useful spotting scope for fauna (e.g., sloth in high tree), 5 star experience.

We had a wonderful time on the trail and our tour guide was great very informative. the bridges were great as you got to see great views of the rainforest. We saw a two toed sloth and a wonderful colourful bird of prey. We would definitely go again.

HAD A FABULOUS HANGING BRIDGES EXPERIENCE WITH A VERY INFORMATIVE TOTALLY PERSONABLE GUIDE. I THINK HE WAS CALLED ALAN. THE TOUR WAS PROFESSIONALLY CARRIED OUT AND WAS ENJOYED IMMENSELY BY MYSELF AND MY FELLOW TRAVELLERS... GRACIAS Y PURA VIDA!!
