Next, we head for a bit of rest and relaxation at the beautiful Tabacon Resort! The indescribable hot springs and exotic tropical gardens will soothe your body and soul. When the sun sets, the show begins, and the sight of red-hot lava boulders rolling down the volcano as you soak in the springs, will stun you.
Our Arenal Volcano hike through the rainforest is one of the best ways to experience the mighty "Mountain of Fire." Hike through the diverse flora and fauna to the famous lava wall where you will walk on lava rocks from ancient times and observe lava boulders tumbling down the flanks of Arenal. You could get the chance to see the glowing cinders from the crater and hear the booms from gas eruptions as your professional guide educates you on the activity and history of the marvelous volcano. A dip in the Tabacon Resort hot springs after the hike is available upon request ( entrance fee to Tabacon Resort is not included ).
Birdwatchers and nature lovers, this is the tour for you! This all day trip takes you to the mighty Rio Frio near the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge. One of our professional bilingual guides will pick you up at your hotel and take you to the small town of Los Chiles near the Nicaraguan border. Here we will begin our three-hour ride up the Rio Frio in search of sloths, caimans, lizards, tropical birds, various species of monkeys and much more in the surrounding lush rainforest and wetlands. You will be amazed with the beauty as your guide shows and teaches you about the marvels of the wildlife, vegetation, ecology and culture of this tropical paradise. It certainly is a learning experience and one not to miss. A typical Costa Rican hot lunch is included in this tour and is served on the tranquil banks of the Rio Frio.
This tour offers the perfect combination of beautiful sightseeing and physical activity. We begin with an easy and scenic horseback ride from La Fortuna to the entrance of the waterfall. After viewing the magnificent 40-meter waterfall from a distance, we descend on a challenging hike through the dense rainforest where you will see amazing specimens of flora. The hike will bring us to the base crystal blue pool the waterfall pours into where you will be able to take a wonderful refreshing swim.
Located only an hour from La Fortuna, these caverns offer an unforgettable underground mystical adventure. If you're ready to get wet and muddy and to see amazing stalactites, stalagmites, bats and subterranean streams, then join us! On this tour, we'll be trekking through some narrow winding passages, therefore it is not recommended for those with claustrophobia.
What better way to explore the beautiful lush rainforest around Lake Arenal then by mountain bike! Gear yourself up for a physical ride on a quiet country road that begins at the Lake Arenal Dam, proceeds to the entrance of the Arenal Volcano National Park and ends near the Observatory Lodge. Enjoy magnificent views of the Arenal Lake and Volcano along the way. Perhaps a monkey or two will come out to cheer you on! Your professional bilingual guide will educate you on your surroundings and provide assistance in whatever ways necessary. A dip in the Tabacon Resort hot springs after the bike tour is available upon request (entrance fee to Tabacon Resort is not included).

It is about seeing the rain forest from a completely different perspective…from the top. The canopy is the habitat for approximately 65% of all species of flora and fauna. You will slide with the help of cables, and will cover 9 platforms built around huge and strong trees, that stand at an average height of 25 meters. At this altitude you will see a wide variety of orchids, bromeliads, ferns, moss and lichens that stand out like decorations on the green treetops. As far as animals are concern it is not unusual to run into sloths, white-faced monkeys, and a huge variety of birds. Canopy is a supervised activity and the equipment utilized can hold up to 3 tons of weight, which assures the highest standards of security. The activity starts off with a brisk 45-minute walk into the forest, among well-trodden paths, in order to reach the first platform. The tour is approximately 3 hours long and you will need comfortable clothes that allow for maximum flexibility and the desire to enjoy the sensation of great altitude.
Our guests traverse from tree to tree and platform
to platform using pulleys on horizontal traverse cables, as they sail through
the treetops of the tropical rainforest canopy, and over the trails far below.
Expert guides assist you in this exciting journey through the different layers
of the virgin rain forests and explain whats going on around you, from the time
you leave the ground, until you rappel back down to the forest floor.
