The combined tour of Arenal 4 in 1 with Tabacon it’s a one-day trip that merges the rainforest hanging bridges, the waterfall of La Fortuna, the Arenal Volcano National Park and the hot springs of Tabacon.
But, put in other words, it’s a whole day of breathtaking experiences immersed in nature.
Without having to rush, you will see the rainforest from all possible perspectives, with a volcano, and with a waterfall, but then again, you will see virgin jungles, and walk through a resilient rainforest that is growing back over the old lava. And at the end of the day, you will immerse in the soothing hot waters of the Tabacon River amid a stunning garden.
You will start this fantastic day when your driver and tour guide pick you up at your hotel to take you to the Hanging Bridges.
The Hanging Bridges trail is around 1.8 miles (3 km) long, paved and quite easy to walk.
You will see the rainforest from all angles and as you walk in the sturdy suspended bridges you may understand this impressive life system. Your naturalist tour guide will be telling stories and pointing aspects of the rainforest natural history.
Keep your eyes open for the multicolored species of birds and the possibility of glimpsing monkeys or other mammals down below from where you are. As, in this trip, you will find bridges above the trees and their magnificent diversity.
From the hanging bridges reserve your tour guide and transportation will take you to La Fortuna Waterfall, a private reserve that holds one of the most beautiful sightings in Costa Rica, a 70 meters waterfall amid primary forest.
You will come down on a stairway of 500 steps into an ancient volcanic crater and to the bottom of the waterfall. As you come down, you will feel that nature somehow is taking you in. The sounds of the cicadas, frogs and birds, the giant trees and ivies, the roaring water falling.
Let your senses take this experience in.
When you get to the bottom of La Fortuna Waterfall, and depending on the time of year you may take a dip in the river.
And then you come back up, to follow the amazing combined tour of Arenal 4 in 1.
Your transportation and tour guide will then take you to a local restaurant for a delicious lunch.
After lunch you will hop back on your vehicle to go to the Arenal Volcano National Park.
The walk in the National Park takes approximately 2 hours, as it is 4-kilometer (2,4 miles) as your guide, an expert in the region, will give you the most important information on the volcano, the eruptions, the history of the region and how the area thrived.
You will also discover the most affected part of the volcano, walk on the volcanic sand and the old lavas.
This tour has superb chances to take photos, as there are some 360° breathtaking views of the Arenal Lake and Volcano.
At the end of the walk, your transport will be awaiting to drive you to the stunning Tabacon Hot Springs.
Considered by known travel magazines and awarded in several travel publications, these thermae are immersed in a gorgeous tropical garden with the view of the mighty volcano on the back.
The Tabacon River comes from the mountain as hot as can be and as it reaches the resort it gets combined with cold water in dozens of small ponds surrounded by tropical vegetation.
The sensation of wellness will take you while your muscles rest after the walks you took in the long day.
After a few hours relishing in the hot springs, you will have a delicious dinner buffet to end the day and before your tour guide and transportation take you back to the hotel.
