Arenal Volcano 1968 Lava Flow Expedition

Caño Negro Tour & Río Frío Wildlife Safari by Boat

Only accessible by boat, Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge is a sanctuary for some of Costa Rica's rarest flora and fauna. Sail down the Rio Frio into this wild wetland area, world-renowned for its biodiversity. As you cruise, a guide will help point out exotic birds, monkeys, iguanas and even crocodiles, too. A Costa Rican lunch completes the experience.

Chocolate Farm Tour & La Fortuna Waterfall

Like Central America's very own Willy Wonka, Costa Rica cultivates world-class cacao beans – the key ingredient in top-quality chocolate. Take a two-hour tour of a fairtrade cacao farm to see how the beans ultimately end up as high-end organic chocolate bars. There'll be plenty of sweet treats to sample followed by a swim in La Fortuna Waterfall.

Hiking Tour in Tenorio Volcano National Park

Trek into Tenorio Volcano National Park to find hidden waterfalls, wildlife, and steaming hot springs. In the heart of the park is Río Celeste – a waterfall that owes its brilliant blue hue to a mix of minerals from the nearby volcano. And after all that walking, you can reward yourself with a refreshing swim and a Costa Rican lunch.

Peñas Blancas River Cruise and Chocolate Tasting

Cruising Costa Rica's rivers by raft preserves the peace – and in the rainforest, less noise means more wildlife activity. Glide quietly down the Peñas Blancas River on the lookout for exotic birds, monkeys, iguanas and even a crocodile or two. Then, after your wildlife-spotting cruise, you can try some chocolatey treats at a cacao farm.

Arenal Volcano National Park Tour

Towering at over 1,600 metres above the rainforest, the Arenal Volcano is Costa Rica's most famous natural landmark.

Arenal Hanging Bridges & La Fortuna Waterfall

Costa Rica's wildest adventures are all natural. And on this tour you'll take on two of Arenal's best outdoor experiences. Cross a hanging bridge over the rainforest and get up close to canopy wildlife like spider monkeys, sleepy sloths and over 400 species of tropical bird. Then, trek along the foothills of Arenal Volcano for a rewarding swim in the emerald pools of La Fortuna Waterfall.
