Arenal Day Tour - Guancaste

Rio Toro rafting

If you would rather spend you holiday at the beach and do tours to the areas of great interest in Costa Rica then the Arenal Day Tour will be great for you. For anyone visiting Costa Rica a view of the volcano during your time in Costa Rica is a must. It would be like going to Egypt and not seeing the Pyramids. Your tour will begin early in the morning where you will be picked up from your hotel and driven 3 hours up into the mountains to the town of La Fortuna where one of the top 10 most active volcanoes in the world lies erupting.

Once you reach the volcano you will hopefully be able to see the eruptions that normally happen every 48 minutes so have your cameras at the ready. Do not worry as you will not get close enough to be in any danger. Once you arrive you will begin a 2 hour walk of the National Park that surrounds the volcano. On the walk the guide will point out animals and flora of interest and will tell you about how these plants have helped produce medicines. After about 30 minutes you will reach the old lava flow where you can see the old flow of the volcano 50 years ago. If you stand still you will be able to feel and hear the volcano as it grumbles. Once you have finished the walk you will be taken to the famous Tabacon Hot Springs where a river heated by the volcano awaits your tired bodies. You will relax in the natural hot springs and re-energise. Also a dinner will be served after the springs at the Tabacon Restaurant before the drive back to your hotel.
