Volcano tours

Things to do in Volcano

Arenal Volcano National Park offers travelers the chance to zoom in on Costa Rica's breathtaking biodiversity. But this pristine package comes with a hefty price tag: popularity. Don't risk getting stuck behind camera-toting tour groups - take a private Arenal Volcano National Park tour with a local guide who knows how to lose the crowds…and find the nest of the Resplendant Quetzal. The park has two volcanoes - Arenal and Chato. Both are pure photography gold, so ask your guide about the best spot to snap the perfect picture. Hikers of all abilities will enjoy exploring the forested trails that lead to the lava flows. The next day, climb high into the Monteverde Cloud Forest to hang out with two-toed sloths, white-faced capuchin monkeys and more than 800 species of birds. Ready to ride the rapids? Jump in a raft with your guide for a heart-pounding journey down the Balsa river. For something tamer, try a dip in a mountain hot springs, where you can soak and chat with friendly locals.
