Adventure Holidays to the Arenal Volcano
Until fairly recently Arenal was Costa Rica’s most active volcano. Although it’s now in a resting phase and can no longer be seen spitting ash, smoke or lava, there is still a lot of geothermal activity in the area. For an unforgettable experience the formidable volcano can be viewed while relaxing in the soothing waters of one of the area’s many hot springs as night falls.
There are plenty of activities on offer around the area of Arenal, from hiking to canyoning and canopy tours to get a birds eye view of the forest. The surrounding countryside is perfect for breathtaking walks, cycles and horse riding.

Rebecca John Costa Rica Adventure
Ross Bishop Natural Highlights of Costa RicaThis one week tour is 50% wildlife spotting and 50% long travel days. Wildlife is colourful, diverse and fairly easy to spot, but the experiences were hindered by unseasonably cool and wet conditions – unexpected, but nonetheless possible in February. Walks were often spent sheltering under the hood of my waterproof jacket and an appreciation of the Costa Rican landscapes was limited. Road journeys between hotels were longer than expected, often due to heavy traffic. The optional excursions were OK, but not great value for money. Unfortunately, Costa Rica’s high end tourist industry has become expensive and quite commercialised.
