Sustainable Vacations featuring Arenal: Eco-Education (guided tour), Costa Rica Classic (guided), Costa Rica Multi-Sport (guided & self-guided), Family Vacation (self-guided), Responsible Luxury (self-guided), Hot n Cool (self-guided excursion)

You can't leave Arenal without a visit to the thermal springs heated by the volcano. Tabacon is our top choice among others in the region. Pools and waterfalls of various temperatures are dispersed within a beautiful tropical garden/jungle setting. Main pool with bar and slide are a nice touch. Definitely the place to rest and relax after a long day of activity in and around Arenal.
You'll quickly forget your disappoitment should Arenal fail to erupt during your stay with a visit to these falls towering 70m, dispensing a magnificent and powerful display of water. Small pools located around the falls provide safe swimming. The cool pristine waters should be inviting after the journey. The falls can be reached by hiking, on horseback, by car or taxi.
For those who want to get up close and personal with the mighty Arenal Volcano a trek through the park provides opportunities for visitors to do so. Marked trails (stay on them!) take you by the sites of past lava flows as well as sections of rainforest where white-faced capuchin and howler monkeys can be seen. Keep an ear out (or both covered) for massive explosions from Arenal's crater. Boom!
....and please don't try to climb the volcano, its dangerous.
The only lodging option with a view of Arenal's northern side. Excellent views of gas, ash, and lava. Up close and personal! Featured in E4 itineraries.
