Want to spend an unforgettable day hiking through the lush Costa Rican rainforest and witnessing three of the most famous sites in the Arenal, La Fortuna area of Costa Rica? Check out this Arenal Highlights COMBO Tour where you can hike across the Arenal Hanging Bridges, take a leisurely nature hike in the Arenal Volcano National Park–the closest you’ll get to the Arenal Volcano–enjoy a delicious lunch and visit the massive and breathtaking La Fortuna waterfall.

Start the day by hiking across the Arenal Hanging Bridges to see the jungle from high above the forest floor. Your naturalist guide will teach you about Costa Rican culture and history while you experience what we like to call “nature therapy.” Immerse yourself in nature while you try to spot different species of plants, animals, and birds along the way. These trails bring you as close as you’d ever hope to see the rainforest and its inhabitants, as well as give you access to see stunning views of the rainforest and mountains.

After your adventure on the hanging bridges, you’ll head to the Arenal Volcano National Park. The trails in this park are generally flat and not very strenuous, perfect for a leisurely and informative hike with one of our naturalist guides! We’ll head through the jungle, hiking through well-groomed, easy trails that skirt the base of the Arenal Volcano.

Once you’re done in the national park, you’ll head to our very own Hunters & Gatherers restaurant where you will get to try delicious Costa Rican food that makes you feel good. Plenty of vegetarian, gluten-free, lactose-free and vegan options are available. You’ll love this fresh, amazing meal in one of La Fortuna’s secret hangouts at the El Salto waterfall park.

Then, you’ll head to the stunning La Fortuna Waterfall. When you reach the entrance, you will have time to change into your bathing suit in case you want to cool off in the cool pools that flow from the waterfall. This is sure to be a good workout as there are 300 steps to get to the down to the waterfall, and 300 to get back up! When you reach the bottom, you’ll have an opportunity to take lots of pictures and swim in the cool waters of one of the largest and most breathtaking waterfalls in Arenal!

Last but not least, we will stop at the Springs Resort Hot Springs to soak in the natural pools and have an enjoyable dinner.
