Monteverde To Arenal By Boat Lake Crossing. Taxi-Boat-Taxi
Monteverde and Arenal Volcano are only about 136 km apart but the shortest direct route by road is not possible because of the mountain ranges. The taxi-boat-taxi options is a quick and scenic travel option! And you can have a relaxing time as you slowly cross the Arenal Lake on a motorized, covered boat at the foot of the Volcano.
This is a shared taxi-boat-taxi service (you can book a private one, see below) and departs twice daily and takes approximately 4 hours and provides door to door service for most hotels.
The boat ride is full of beautiful scenes including a great view of the volcano. This transport not only saves you time, but it gives you incredible memories. The majestic Lake Arenal near the famous Arenal Volcano is the largest in Costa Rica.
As the name suggests, the trip consists of a taxi ride (usually minivans or microbuses) to Arenal Lake, a boat across the Arenal Lake, and then another 25-minute taxi on to your hotel.
In total, this breakdown into about 2.5 hours by microbus and 30-40 mins by boat.
