La Fortuna Tours in Costa Rica: Five Ways to Explore Arenal
Arenal Volcano
Among the most iconic Arenal volcano tours, the lava-trail hike walks you through Arenal Volcano National Park and the 1968 eruption story.
Hot Springs & Waterfalls
Soak in geothermal pools at the foot of the volcano, fed by the same system that built the mountain. An evening of pure relaxation.
Wildlife & Nature
Spot wild sloths, toucans, and monkeys with a trained naturalist eye. A highlight of any La Fortuna travel itinerary.
Cultural Tours
Walk the canopy on the hanging bridges and connect with the rural farming traditions that shape life in Arenal.
Rafting La Fortuna
Class II-III rapids on the Balsa River with a traditional lunch at a local farm included. Departs around 10:30 AM, returns around 4:30 PM. Available in private format only.
Among the best things to do in Arenal, each experience is available as a shared tour or as a private tour in La Fortuna – just your group, at your own pace.
