    Other Must-Do La Fortuna Activities

    While chocolate and ATV tours are among the top highlights, La Fortuna offers a wealth of other experiences that should be on your bucket list.

    Arenal Volcano hike: a guided volcano hike is the best way to safely explore the lava trails and learn about the area's volcanic history, mostly within Arenal Volcano National Park or private reserves like Arenal 1968.

    La Fortuna Waterfall: this 75-meter-high waterfall is one of the most iconic sights in the region. Hike down to swim in the cool pool below, or take a horseback tour to the entrance — a must for nature lovers and photographers.

    Hot springs: after a day of exploring, there's nothing better than soaking in La Fortuna's natural hot springs. Top options include EcoTermales, Baldi Hot Springs, and Tabacón Thermal Resort. Many tours combine activities with hot springs passes for a relaxing finale.

    Ziplining and canopy tours: soar above the jungle canopy for breathtaking views of Arenal Volcano and Lake Arenal, ideal for families and adventure seekers. Sky Adventures is a favorite for a day full of adventure with friends or family.

    Combo & Family-Friendly Tours

    Want to fit more into your visit? A combo tour bundles several activities into one day — perfect if you're on a tight schedule or want to experience a bit of everything. Popular combinations include a chocolate tour with hot springs and the La Fortuna waterfall, an ATV tour with ziplining and a volcano hike, or hanging bridges paired with a chocolate tour and cultural experience. Combos usually include transportation, meals, and bilingual guides.

    La Fortuna is also an excellent destination for families with kids of all ages. Many tours are designed with families in mind:

  • Educational chocolate and farm tours
  • Gentle river safaris on the Peñas Blancas or Río Frío
  • Sloth and wildlife watching tours
