A plethora of activities await you here.  Soar through the rainforest canopy on this thrilling zip wiring adventure in the Arenal reserve. Experience the sights and sounds of the rainforest from a bird’s-eye view, admiring the wildlife and spectacular scenery from above.

Gently paddle around Arenal Lake and soak in the spectacular views of the volcano, explore the shoreline and observe a variety of birds including herons, kingfishers and flycatchers or spend a full day hiking through the lush Arenal area, visiting invigorating waterfalls, passing along hanging bridges high above the canopy and hiking up the majestic Arenal Volcano.

A privileged beach and rainforest location you will submerge into exclusivity at Lapa Rios, an award-winning jungle eco-lodge with eco-chic bungalows with fantastic service to match. All set in 1,000 acres of tropical rainforest reserve on the wildlife rich Osa Peninsula overlooking the pristine point where the Golfo Dulce meets the Pacific Ocean in Costa Rica.

Many excursions within the reserve are included during your stay lead by a team of expert naturalist guides. Don your binoculars and join bird watching tours, night walks and nature hikes where you’ll encounter miles of private, uncrowded trails in prime rainforest home to wild waterfalls and pristine beaches. Costa Rica has the longest humpback whale watching season in the world (August-October) so catching a glimpse of these magnificent marine mammals is more than likely and dolphins are regular visitors to the bay.  Fly into the teeming rainforest of Corcovado National Park, one of the world's most biologically intense places, for an incredible wildlife experience, looking for tapirs, jaguars, ocelots, brilliantly coloured birds and much else besides.
