La Fortuna Waterfall Guided Hike: swim beneath the cascadeYou hike to a 70-meter waterfall in a protected forest, swim in the river below, then tour an organic farm and eat lunch there. Your guide manages the route, timing, and all entry fees, so you show up ready to move. The steep path and river swim mean you need good fitness, but that's what makes the whole day possible in one morning.Is it for me?Right for travelers with solid fitness who want both nature and culture in one morning — the steep hike and river swim are what let you reach the waterfall's base and understand the forest around it, while the farm visit adds the agricultural story that makes the landscape make sense.
La Fortuna: Horseback Riding & Waterfall with Volcano ViewsYou ride through forested trails and volcanic terrain to a viewpoint overlooking Arenal Volcano, then drive to La Fortuna Waterfall for a guided walk down to the 70-meter cascade where you can swim. The day includes your horse, the naturalist guide, waterfall entry, transport between the two sites, bottled water and fruit, so you show up and the rest is arranged.Is it for me?Pick this if you want to see Arenal Volcano and La Fortuna Waterfall in one morning without arranging two separate trips—the horseback ride and the waterfall are connected by transport and timing, so you move through both without gaps or logistics to figure out.
La Fortuna Waterfall & Zipline Tour with LunchYou hike through rainforest to a 70-meter waterfall with a swimming pool at its base, then spend the afternoon ziplining through the canopy with views of Arenal Volcano. Lunch at a local restaurant, all gear and transport included, means you show up and the day unfolds without logistics getting in the way.Is it for me?Book this if you want both the waterfall and the zipline in one day without arranging transport or figuring out which restaurant to find — the fixed itinerary and included lunch mean you move through La Fortuna without stopping to plan.
La Fortuna: 7-Cable Zipline & Waterfall Canopy TourYou board a Jungle Bus to the canopy top, hike 20 minutes with a guide spotting wildlife, then zip across seven cables—including a 980-meter line directly over La Fortuna Waterfall. The tour wraps at a Maleku village where you meet indigenous locals. Gear and water are provided; the optional waterfall hike adds another hour if you book it in advance.Is it for me?Book this if you've ziplined before and want to skip the beginner setup—you'll go straight to the cables without practice runs or hand-holding, which is what makes the 980-meter waterfall line and the full canopy sequence possible in one morning.

La Fortuna Waterfall & Arenal Volcano: Full Day with Hot SpringsYou swim in La Fortuna Waterfall, hike to Arenal's highest viewpoint through lava fields, walk through a butterfly conservatory with rainforest views, visit a Maleku village, and end the day soaking in natural hot springs with a cocktail. Hotel pickup, bilingual guide, lunch, and all park fees are included; the group stays small, and the day is structured so you're moving between different ecosystems without dead time.Is it for me?Book this if you want to pack multiple ecosystems and activities into one day without arranging transport, paying separate entrance fees, or timing yourself—the fixed itinerary and included guide handle all of that, which is what makes a full volcano, waterfall, and hot springs day possible in one afternoon.
Arenal Volcano, La Fortuna Waterfall & Hanging Bridges Day TripYou’ll hike down to feel La Fortuna Waterfall’s spray on your skin, walk ancient lava fields near Arenal Volcano with a local guide, cross rainforest canopy bridges (if your legs don’t shake too much), enjoy lunch and two swims—including time soaking in a natural hot springs river before heading back relaxed and maybe a little changed.
Arenal Volcano & La Fortuna Waterfall from Jaco with Hot SpringsYou swim at La Fortuna Waterfall, hike across Arenal's 1968 lava field, and soak in Paradise Hot Springs' thermal pools—all in one day with lunch and dinner included. Hotel pickup and a bilingual guide handle the logistics, though the full day means you're out from early morning until evening, and the volcano hike requires moderate fitness and sturdy shoes.Is it for me?Right for travelers based in Jaco who want to see Arenal's main attractions without arranging transport or timing the stops themselves. Expect a full day out—early pickup, late return—and moderate hiking with uneven lava rock underfoot; that's what fits three major stops into one trip.
La Fortuna & Arenal Volcano: Guided Hike, Waterfall Swim, Local LunchYou’ll hike through Arenal Volcano National Park with a local guide who shares stories about eruptions and wildlife, then descend to swim beneath La Fortuna Waterfall’s spray before relaxing over a home-cooked lunch at a family ranch. Expect real Costa Rican flavors, friendly faces, and moments that stick with you long after your shoes dry out.
La Fortuna: Safari Float & Waterfall Swim Half-DayYou start with a guided raft float down the Peñas Blancas River spotting sloths, monkeys and birds, then eat a traditional lunch with a local family, and finish with a swim in the natural pool beneath La Fortuna Waterfall. Hotel pickup and park fees are included, and the whole experience runs about four to five hours, so you're back with time left in your day.Is it for me?Book this if you want wildlife spotting and a waterfall swim without arranging transport, park entry or timing the stops yourself — the half-day format means you're done by early afternoon and the guide's local knowledge is what makes the animal sightings actually happen.
Private La Fortuna Waterfall & Baldi Hot Springs Tour from San JoseYou’ll hike through rainforest to swim beneath La Fortuna Waterfall and then unwind at Baldi Hot Springs—all with private transport and a local guide from San Jose. It’s a full day of nature, adventure, and real Costa Rican flavors.
