We booked the Volcano/Sunset Tour with captain Marc which includes a 3 hour boatride on the lake with an amazing view of the volcano and some fishing. Captain Marc was easy to communicate and coordinate with before the trip, and the location was easy to find outside of La Fortuna. It was apparent that Captain Marc was an expert guide in the area and knew a ton of great fishing and view locations. He had all the gear to fish if we wanted, which of course I did. We caught multiple fish on our short trip and had an amazing time! Captain Marc was personable, easy to talk to, and a great guide. This trip felt like a steal for the experience and value we got - I couldnโt recommend this enough!

Hi Brody, thanks for your review and maybe we will see you back on this lake, Captain Marc.
It was an experience for sure. The advertising led me to believe we were fly fishing for rainbow bass, but when we got aboard there was spinning gear only and the captain had no bait. We spent 4.5 hours jigging in the rain. Caught several small unkeepable fish and one decent but not big rainbow bass. Overall it was disappointing but at least the price was reasonable.
Hi Donna,ย thanks for your review.ย First of all I donโt offer fly fishing only spinning and bait casting rods.ย Number 2 I bring life bait on request that also shows on the page of fishingBooker.ย If you know about fishing you donโt always catch the fish you want and the weather is hard to control.ย I am very sorry you didnโt like your trip,ย Captain Marc.
beautiful view of the volcano, not much action in the fishing department
Thanks for your review Vince and yes pretty slow although you caught 1 nice one,ย today was better, Captain Marc.
I am an avid fisherman, I live in Florida have a boat and have fished all over the world. This was one of my favorite trips. Lake Arenal is beautiful and being out on the lake is an excellent way to see it. Marc is an excellent guide and switches fishing techniques to give you the best chance of catching fish. Rainbow bass are like largemouths on steroids and this was a new species for me. I will do this trip again.
Had a great time this Fatherโs Day with two of my sons and my father in law.ย Great experience
Thanks for your review and hope you enjoyed your fish.
