I thoroughly enjoyed my day with Harlem! We started off at a coffee plantation, then tasted some strawberries, then juice and bird watching, went to see iguanas, had a nice lunch and then headed zip lining. Zip lining was the best experience and Gabriel and David were such great guides. After zip lining we went to a hot spring and then a souvenir shop with amazing gifts and finally the best meal i had in Costa Rica (Chifrijos). All in all a great day

The all-inclusive tour was excellent with our guide, Oscar, who is very knowledgeable about Costa Rica and managed time well. After picking up guests at hotels, we started with a short coffee plantation tour, then on to visit waterfalls, and to an iguana sanctuary. Before heading to lunch, we also made a quick stop to see sloths and to take photos. Food at lunch was good, then we headed to the Zip line, which was a fantastic experience with the professional staff at Go Adventure Arenal Park. After, we relaxed at a resort near the Arenal Volcano. The volcano fortunately was visible, with fairly clear skies. We then made a quick stop to a large souvenir shop then onto a good dinner, before getting dropped back to our hotels. It was a fantastic day - I was picked up at about 6:30 am from my hotel and returned about 9 pm.

It's a very long day, with a lot of travel. The Arenal Volcano no longer erupts, and is frequently shrouded in cloud. We were unfortunate to be unable to see the summit. It therefore felt as though it was an extremely long drive, to do things that could be done closer to San José.
