Today you will be transferred from Monteverde to Arenal, making use of both vehicles and a boat to turn this point-to-point transfer into an enjoyable and scenic experience. The transfer begins at your hotel, where a private minibus will pick you up and drive for approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes to Lake Arenal, making a stop along the way if requested to purchase beverages, food and to use the washroom. Upon arrival to Lake Arenal, you will board a comfortable and safe pontoon-type boat and set out on a 45-minute sailing, arriving on the other side of the lake in due time, and disembarking just minutes from the many resorts and iconic sites of Arenal and La Fortuna. Lake Arenal is the largest and most important in Costa Rica. It is of artificial origin - built in 1974 in order to obtain hydroelectric power for the country - and is a place where you can spot a variety of resident and migratory birds, and often times mammals like monkeys and sloths. You will also take in excellent views of the Arenal Volcano when it is not cloudy. After disembarking from the boat, you will board an awaiting minibus which will privately transfer you to your hotel, taking roughly 20 to 30 minutes (depending on the location of your hotel). It is recommended to wear long pants, a coat, comfortable shoes, and a waterproof jacket. Approximate travel time is 4 hours and 30 minutes.
