Until fairly recently Arenal was Costa Rica’s most active volcano. Although it’s now in a resting phase and can no longer be seen spitting ash, smoke or lava, there is still a lot of geothermal activity in the area. For an unforgettable experience the formidable volcano can be viewed while relaxing in the soothing waters of one of the area’s many hot springs as night falls.
There are plenty of activities on offer around the area of Arenal, from hiking to canyoning and canopy tours to get a birds eye view of the forest. The surrounding countryside is perfect for breathtaking walks, cycles and horse riding.

Grant Rossouw Natural Highlights of Costa RicaThis trip truly lives up to its name and was an unforgettable way to experience Costa Rica’s incredible biodiversity. From lush rainforests and wildlife-rich national parks to volcanic landscapes and the coast, the itinerary felt perfectly balanced and thoughtfully paced, with each destination offering something new and exciting.
One of the real highlights was the wildlife. Seeing animals in their natural habitat was a daily occurrence, made even more special by the expertise of our local leader. Their knowledge, enthusiasm and ability to spot wildlife we would otherwise have missed added huge value to the experience and brought the landscapes to life.
The trip also offered a great mix of guided walks, scenic drives and time to simply take in the surroundings, making it feel immersive without ever being rushed. Early starts were well worth it for the rewarding wildlife encounters and peaceful moments in nature.
Overall, this adventure is ideal for anyone wanting to explore Costa Rica’s natural highlights in depth, with the reassurance of excellent organisation and an outstanding local leader. A truly memorable journey through one of the world’s most beautiful and biodiverse countries.
Benoit Pigeon Discover Costa RicaThe guide was amazing, the food and hotel were really good. I was expecting to hike in the forest and mountains but it was more of a bird watching tour. So it was zero walking and lots and lots of bird watching standing still for long periods of time. It was not what i was looking for.
