During the volunteer portion are there Amazon tours available to take or time to take them? The volunteering work is from Monday to Friday. On weekends you will have free time. We do not offer tours in the area (I don't think there are any really). But you can go on your own to Tena (1.5 hrs) where you can find rafting tours, community visits or jungle walks. These can be booked on spot.

This was a wonderful trip. If you are looking for a great family getaway with everything taken care of, we wholeheartedly recommend this package. This trip keeps you moving from one place to another (a plus in our opinion), and we never had any issues with our transportation. Our drivers were always on time and wonderful. Our guides and activities were awesome. Accommodation was consistently fair, but you should not expect fancy... which is in keeping with the price. We were happy with every aspect of this tour.

The overall trip was great! The lodges in Sarapiqui and Mt Arenal were awesome as they were "in the sites" and offered great great hiking trials right out your rooms. The style the trip was arranged is more laid back compared to some other packaged tours I've been on, as they arrange at the most a few hours or half a day's activities and you have free time for most of the afternoons. The drivers/tour guides in different locations are different instead of one same person accompanying you for all the time. All drivers/tour guides were super friendly and nice and we had a great time!
