What To Expect

Baldi Hot Springs
Our tour begins when our guide pick you up at the lobby of your Hotel and move to the northern part of the country, being unavoidable to make a brief stop in the famous town of Sarchi, internationally known for its laborious artisans who give Sarchi renown as the cradle of the Costa Rican Crafts.

Following our trip we will pass through plantations of various agricultural products, ornamental plants, cattle farms, until we reach the town of La Fortuna to have lunch in a cozy restaurant just in front of the Volcano. This excellent location allows us from very early, to have the best view waiting for the Volcano to please the visitors. 

We will rest in one of the best hot springs in the area, where you can optionally have the oportunity to have a massage or spa treatment booked in advance.

13 hours • Admission Ticket Included

This was an amazing trip. Guide Edgardo was knowledgeable and gracious. We learned a lot about the geography and history of the area. The Baldi Hot Springs were relaxing and very clean. The lunch and dinner were fabulous with a view of the Arenal volcano.
A MUST DO!!!!

Wonderful experience. I would recommend this trip to anyone regardless of group size. The food was amazing, more importantly, the tour guide - WILL - was knowledgeable and patient with me and my family. The hot spring resort was unforgettable. This tour is a must when traveling on Costa Rica.
Muy buen tour

Nos encantó la experiencia. Fuimos con Daniel fue un tour privado completamente ya que solo íbamos nosotros dos con nuestro guía Daniel quien siempre nos tuvo paciencia de espera y muy a gusto todo.
Lo único que sugeriría sería realizar una actividad extra en el tour pero de ahí en fuera súper bien. La comida deliciosa, los lugares visitados muy lindos.
Springs were AMAZING

The Baldi Hot Springs was fantastic. There were 25 different pools to pick from, some relaxed and secluded, others decorated with waterfalls and rock features. It was a variety that everyone could find something they liked - as long as they liked hot tubs.

On our way to the springs we stopped to see some attractions which was nice to get some history of Costa Rica.

I would certainly consider this excursion again.
A good way to spend a day outside of San Jose

We passed through San Jose on both ends of our trip to Costa Rica. I picked this day tour as a way of getting to see more of the country and was not disappointed. Be prepared for a long day. With traffic and a backup due to an accident, it was 14 hours for us. Hotel pickup and drop-off were convenient. The bilingual tour guide was excellent. if you are full of questions as I am, sit close to the guide so you can get your questions answered enroute. I could not get connected to the bus offered wifi though, The first stop at the tourist souvenir shop was what you might expect. I'd pass on it if I could. The countryside was fascinating as we drove up over the mountains and saw rural homes, farms and ranches. Lots of nursery plants farmed. Lunch was efficient with our meal choices phoned in ahead. I'd not have the club sandwich again (fried egg, cucumber, and canned ham). 20 minutes to the volcano; a mile high cinder cone. Then a half hour to Baldi hot springs; a first class resort and water park. Then a long after-dark bus ride back to our hotels. It's a long day, but wonderful to see the CR countryside.
