This full-day nature and adventure combo tour is designed for hikers, nature lovers, and explorers who want to experience Costa Rica’s most iconic landscapes — from ancient lava fields to the lush rainforest canopy, and finally, the soothing embrace of natural hot springs.

Start your morning with a guided hike along the Arenal Volcano trails, exploring old lava flows and tropical forest paths at the base of this majestic volcano. Your local naturalist guide will share fascinating stories about Arenal’s eruption history, unique geology, and native wildlife, bringing this legendary destination to life.

Along the way, keep your eyes open for sloths, monkeys, toucans, and other tropical wildlife that call this lush ecosystem home.
