Go Adventures Arenal Park Full Day Adventure

Why choose one adventure when you can enjoy three of Arenal’s favorites in a single action-packed day? This full-day combo brings together exciting white-water tubing on the Arenal River, a rainforest zipline circuit, and a guided horseback ride with two scenic trail options. Along the way, you'll also visit the Indigenous Maleku community and finish with a relaxing soak in the thermal pools at Montaña de Fuego. It's a fantastic way to experience Arenal's wild side, discover local culture, and make the most of your time in Costa Rica—all in one memorable day!       

Visit with the Maleku Indigenous Community

Your day begins with a short nature hike through the rainforest to a small village beside the Arenal River, home to members of the Indigenous Maleku community. Enjoy a brief introduction to their culture and traditions, and browse traditional handicrafts if you'd like a special souvenir. Bring a little cash if you wish to purchase something and support local artisans.

White Water Tubing on the Arenal River

Time to get your feet wet! After your Maleku visit, follow a forest trail for about 10 minutes to the river, where your guides will help you get fitted with your tube and safety equipment and explain how to navigate the rapids.

Then it's into the water! Bounce, bob, splash, and paddle your way down the Arenal River through a series of Class I, II, and III rapids. Let the current carry you through the twists and turns, or use your hands to help steer as the river delivers a fun mix of splashes and excitement. Depending on the season and river conditions, you'll spend approximately 1 to 1.5 hours tubing. It's an exhilarating way to experience Arenal's natural beauty from river level!

Go Adventures Zip Line & Rappel Circuit

Ready to trade the river for the treetops? Head into the rainforest for Go Adventures' exciting zipline circuit, featuring seven cables and ten platforms with spectacular views of the Arenal River canyon and surrounding tropical landscape. Professional bilingual guides provide your safety briefing, equipment, and guidance throughout the experience.

Want an extra shot of adrenaline? Choose the optional 50-meter rappel for an exhilarating descent toward the river canyon. Keep an eye out for howler monkeys, white-faced capuchins, sloths, toucans, hummingbirds, and other rainforest residents. Wildlife sightings aren't guaranteed, but the lush scenery is impressive all on its own!

Arenal Horseback Riding – Choose from Two Scenic Trails

Saddle up for the final adventure of the day! Go Adventures offers two horseback riding routes, so you can enjoy either the landscapes around Arenal Volcano or the beautiful rainforest and canyon scenery along the Arenal River. Both options offer a wonderful way to explore the region at a different pace, accompanied by experienced guides and well-trained horses.

Option 1: Arenal Volcano Horseback Riding

Ride through the countryside toward Arenal Volcano, entering a private ecological park with a natural volcanic lake, lush rainforest trails, and historic lava flows. Along the way, enjoy changing views of the volcano and the San Carlos plains. Weather permitting, viewpoints may also reveal Lake Arenal and the surrounding mountain ranges. Your guide will share information about the area's natural history, and you may spot local wildlife and tropical birds along the way.

Option 2: Horseback Riding to the Arenal River Canyon

Prefer rainforest scenery? This route takes you through a private farm surrounded by primary and secondary forest, with beautiful panoramic views of the Arenal River canyon and tropical landscape. Your naturalist guide will point out interesting plants and explain the area's wildlife and vegetation along the way. It's a scenic option for guests who want to enjoy the countryside and connect with nature from the saddle.

Both routes offer a memorable horseback riding experience, with the exact scenery depending on the trail you choose. Let us know which option interests you when making your booking, and we'll help confirm the available arrangement.

Montaña de Fuego Hot Springs

After a day of river rapids, rainforest ziplines, and horseback riding, it's time to relax! Your combo includes access to the facilities at nearby Montaña de Fuego Resort, where you can soak in the warm thermal pools and try the mineral-rich volcanic mud. Apply the mud, let it dry, rinse off in the showers, and enjoy a relaxing dip in the pools. You can also explore the outdoor areas or stop by the bar for a refreshing drink. The atmosphere is rustic and open-air, making it a laid-back way to finish your adventure. Bring your swimsuit, a towel, and a change of clothes!
