What To Expect
Discover several beauties of Costa Rica in a single day, on this Arenal Volcano Mega Combo Tour. You will be picked up in the morning from your San Jose Hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle. Then drive along the less-traveled “scenic route” to Arenal, with great views of volcanoes, plantations, waterfalls, jungles, and local towns. En route to Arenal, stop in a coffee plantation where your guide will show you the coffee plants, and will give you a briefing about coffee in Costa Rica (coffee degustation will be provided in a rustic restaurant later on).
Continue your tour with a stop at the famous La Paz Waterfall, one of the most famous natural attractions in Costa Rica. At this attraction, you will be able to admire the pristine Rainforest environment that surrounds the waterfall, and you will have the chance to take pictures of it for a few minutes.

5.00Great guide Guillermo! I loved soaking in the natural hot springs, heated by volcanic activity—pure relaxation! The region’s natural beauty is stunning, with diverse landscapes ranging from misty cloud forests to picturesque lakes. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the experience even better, sharing insights into the volcano's history and local culture. Costa Rica’s volcanoes are a must-see for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike! Highly recommended!

5.00Absolutely LOVED the experience, going to all these different amazing places, learning so much about the country. The tour itself is already a 10/10 just from the locations you visit. However, we had our wonderful tour guide Fernando, who made the experience an 11/10. He truly made the trip feel special and I would definitely highly recommend him! We spent just enough time at every activity to enjoy everything and it didn't feel rushed at all, despite being on a packed schedule. I expected it to be a great trip, but this tour has exceeded my expectations in every way!!
Amazing!
