We visited Costa Rica in January and chose to travel with Bike Arenal on the 8 day Multi-Sport Tour. It was absolutely amazing, we had an wonderful time and I highly recommend Mario and his team of drivers and guides. Our first 2 days were spent with Mario and his driver, we did a lengthy but fun bike trip through... More

Pros: Great workout, pretty area, friendly guide, not much vehicle traffic to contend with. Bikes in decent shape. Cons: Very rough ride for those used to paved roads, concentrating too much on avoiding rocks, etc. to really enjoy the view. FYI: They provide water throughout, and a fruit and cookie snack halfway through. Tips: Ask for the gel seats when... More

I booked a 4 day biking trip with Bike Arenal as a 60th birthday present for my father for us to do together. Outside of some good reviews on this site, I had no idea what to expect. In every way they exceeded our expectations. Mario (the owner of the company) was great. Every hotel he picked were ones that... More

We can't say enough about what a super job Mario did planning a last minute trip for nine (3 sons, 4 nephews- AGES 13-25- and my indulgent and sporting wife and me), and how great Fernando, our guide was. The trip was well planned to the last detail, everything was well thought out and flowed perfectly, and having a van... More

My sisters and I went on a day ride around Lake Arenal. The company sets up everything so well. Bikes, equipment, snack, sag wagon were all excellent. Our guide, Donald, was wonderful. He let us set the pace for the ride and we always felt very safe on the roads. He was so informative about the area, nature, culture and... More

I had a hard time booking this activity (my fault). Something had gone wrong from when I had booked before I left for Costa Rica and by the time I had arrived. Mario had wired my hotel to let me know there was a problem and he was super patient and helpful in making sure the tour got booked just... More

What a great week! I highly recommend the "Volcanoes, Forest and Beach" 7-day mountain bike tour with Bike Arenal. I am traveling alone in Costa Rica and this trip was the perfect way to spend a week touring around some of the most beautiful parts of the country, have some fun company and stay active at the same time. Our... More

When we scheduled our Arenal multisport trip we expected a great time, but Arenal truly exceeded every expectation. As much as we anticipated our trip we never had any idea how complete it was in every aspect. Our guide, Fernando, quickly established himself as an intelligent capable leader whose aim was to show our family as much of the beauty... More

We have just returned from a 10 day, custom-designed Costa Rica biking/hiking trip arranged and run by Bike Arenal. We were supported on our trip by two world-class, knowledgeable, English-speaking Bike Arenal guides and a Bike Arenal van with driver. The guides and driver were charming and fun to spend time with. The first day of our trip featured a... More
