Daily Adventure: Cano Negro Tour with Aventuras Arenal
We had booked a boat trip on the Rio Frio near the Nicaraguan Border. This river is known for their wildlife so we were very excited. We were picked up right at our hotel and were driven about 1.5 – 2 hours to where our boat would depart.

Our boat was big and spacious, comfortable and looked very safe. Our tour guide, Oscar spoke excellent English. The boat trip was relaxing and we saw SO many animals. We saw sloths (with a baby!), anhingas, bats, cormorants, basilisks, iguanas, howler monkeys and spider monkeys are just some of what we saw. Oscar was amazing at spotting these things that otherwise there is no WAY we would have seen. He even did his best howler monkey impression to get them to talk to us. We saw probably 4 or 5 different howler monkey families. It was incredible The boat trip lasted a few hours and they passed out cookies and drinks while we were on the boat.

Afterwards we were taken to lunch and driven back to our hotel.Read more
