Jeep-Boat-Jeep
Perfect for saving time when traveling
from Arenal to Monteverde or vice-versa
Jeep - Boat - Jeep
The Jeep-Boat-Jeep service is the quickest & easiest way to travel between Arenal & Monteverde or vice versa. Because this area is so mountainous, there isn’t a direct route between the two places and the drive around Lake Arenal can take upwards of 5 hours.
The trip combines comfortable door to door service with a beautiful scenic cruise across the tranquil Lake Arenal, where you will experience beautiful views of the majestic volcano and the forested Tilaran Mountain Range. You will also have the chance to see a variety of wetland birds such as king fishers, fly catchers, waders and other exotic species that abound on the lake shore.
