Waterfall, Volcano Hike & Hot Springs Combo

Our Top Pick for an Essential Day Out Without the High Price Tag

If you want a classic, perfectly balanced Costa Rican day—hiking across volcanic lava fields, descending to a roaring jungle waterfall, enjoying a home-style meal, and soaking in thermal waters—without paying for extra bells and whistles, this is the one we always recommend.

Offered by Arenal Jungle Tours, this streamlined combo packs La Fortuna's most famous natural landmarks into one seamless, budget-friendly day trip where everything is completely taken care of from start to finish.

What to Know Before You Go (No Sugarcoating)

• Who is it for?: Perfect for travelers, couples, and families who want a classic, all-in-one day exploring the waterfall and volcano, followed by well-earned thermal relaxation, at a great price.
• The flow of your day:
  • • La Fortuna Waterfall: Start your adventure heading down into the lush canyon to witness the jaw-dropping waterfall and feel the mist of the cascading water.
    • Arenal Volcano Hike: Explore the national park or reserve trails, walking over old lava flows with your guide while learning about the region's volcanic history.
    • Traditional Lunch: Midday, you'll sit down for a satisfying, authentic Costa Rican lunch to recharge.
    • Thermal Hot Springs: Wrap up your afternoon soaking your muscles in warm mineral waters to unwind completely.
• What others won't tell you (And we will): Visiting the waterfall involves a good workout coming back up the stairs, and the day moves at a steady, group-tour pace. But because everything is organized for you, it is an efficient and stress-free way to see the highlights.
