Overview

Make the most of your time in La Fortuna with this adventure that takes you from day to night, combining three must-do experiences in Arenal: La Fortuna Waterfall, Arenal Volcano Hike, and a Guided Night Walk.

Your day begins around with a visit to La Fortuna Waterfall, where you’ll descend approximately 530 steps to reach the stunning 70-meter (230-foot) cascade. Take in the breathtaking scenery, enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters, or relax by the river, surrounded by lush rainforest.

Next, you’ll explore Arenal Volcano, one of Costa Rica’s most iconic landmarks. As you hike through ancient lava fields and tropical forest, your expert guide will share fascinating insights into the volcano’s history, eruptions, and the region’s diverse ecosystem. Keep an eye out for local wildlife, including toucans, monkeys, and coatis.

As the sun sets, get ready for a Night Walk, where the rainforest transforms into an entirely different world. With naturalist guides, you’ll explore a carefully selected trail in search of Costa Rica’s famous nocturnal creatures. Spot Red-eyed Tree Frogs, Glass Frogs, snakes, insects, awesome nocturnal mammals, and even nocturnal birds like the Spectacled Owl. The sounds of the jungle at night make this a truly magical experience.

To ensure a comfortable experience, we schedule time for a lunch break, and we’re happy to assist you with restaurant recommendations and reservations.

This experience offers a perfect balance of exploration, learning, and adventure, allowing you to witness Arenal’s incredible biodiversity from day to night.
