Arenal Volcano Eruption Journal - October 30th, Evening Eruption

The night of October 30th the Volcano was steadily active on the North side. For much of the day and early evening there were clouds which made it impossible to see the entire base and cone of the Volcano. However between 7:15PM and 8:45PM the weather cooperated and conditions were ideal for photographing the beautiful site. Around 9:00PM the clouds once again engulfed the peak until around 10:15 PM before the air cleared and once again the entire Volcano was visible. However my battery in the Nikon D80 was tired after a long day so I simply sat down and relaxed on my porch at Arenal Springs Hotel and Resort and enjoyed the steady flow of hot rocks tumbling down the side of the majestic Arenal Volcano.

There are a number of excursions in Arenal that allow for close viewing of the Arenal volcano. These include hikes through the Arenal Volcano National Park and the 4-in-one Arenal excursion, which includes a trip to the waterfall, a volcano hike, and a visit to one of the area’s hot springs.

We had a wonderful trip. All arrangements were handled promptly and on time. With howler monkeys outside our windows and being able to walk right onto the beach, it doesn’t get better than this.
