Why April
April is the dry season's closing chapter and the timing within the month matters considerably.The first two weeks deliver conditions close to March: good morning volcano visibility, dry trails, accessible hiking. The second half sees the first wet-season storms building from the Pacific side, arriving as afternoon thunderstorms that grow more frequent as the month closes. The Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge lowland channels to the north begin filling as early rains move across the plains, and the guided boat float through the refuge starts offering better wildlife returns.
What's possible this month
Hike the lava field trail in the first two weeks before afternoon storms begin arriving regularly
Join the Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge boat float as early wet-season water begins filling the refuge lowlands
Zip-line over the canopy on clear April mornings before afternoon cloud builds from the Pacific
Kayak Lake Arenal as April trade winds deliver consistent conditions across the water surface

First half beats the second halfEarly April is excellent. Late April can be compromised by the opening weeks of the wet season. The split is real but the exact timing varies year to year. If dry-season volcano views and trail access matter to your trip, the first two weeks are a more reliable bet than the last.
