What you'll see and do
Arenal 1968 Volcano View & Trails
The tour starts with a hotel pickup followed by a 30-minute drive to the 1968 Arenal Volcano Park, where you will start your activity, a 2.30 hour hike to the base of Arenal Volcano. The hike is fairly easy and most of it is over flat ground. The goal is to arrive at a Dry lava field from 1968 eruption (this part of the trail is rocky), see it, talk about it and give you all the history about the Arenal Volcano.

La Fortuna Waterfall
La Fortuna Waterfall is an amazing natural spot, about 70-75 meters tall. To get to the bottom, you'll need to go down and then climb back up around 500 steps, but it’s totally worth it. There are safe spots where you can swim and enjoy the fresh water. This is the perfect mix of adventure and tropical beauty in Costa Rica.
90 minutes here · Admission included
We will arrive at the casual eatery next to our office, where we will enjoy a traditional Costa Rican *casado* accompanied by fresh fruit juice (Flavor choice may vary)
60 minutes here · Admission included
Arenal Hanging Bridges
You'll spend about 2.5 hours walking through the rainforest, crossing 6 hanging bridges and 10 regular ones over a 3.2-km trail at Mistico Hanging Bridges. Along the way, you’ll get awesome panoramic views of the volcano and the whole ecosystem surrounding the forest. Just remember, this is a tropical forest, so rain is definitely a possibility—so bring something waterproof!

This was a wonderful experience. Catrina was very knowledgeable and passionate during each session of the tour. The volcano walk was beautiful and filled with nature, the waterfall was stunning and the hanging bridges allowed for many types of monkeys, birds, snakes, and spiders. Highly recommend

Look no further-Do this tour and ask for Kat!
Wow! What an awesome tour!! Kat, our tour guide was knowledgeable and had a quirky, fun sense of humor. This tour is comprehensive, so if you don't have many days in Costa Rica... this is the one! You do a hike, then waterfalls, then hanging bridges. We saw wild monkeys, a boa constrictor and a wild boar. Amazing tour!!!

Highly recommend this day-tour!
Had a very pleasant day with Green Vacations. Pick-up was right on time, the guide first took us to Arenal Hanging bridges, took his time to spot animals and take some picture of them through his lens. The volcano hike was a nice experience as well. The waterfull is certainly very nice! Would recommend if you need a tour of the higlights in La Fortuna.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful recommendation and for sharing your experience with us! For the Green Vacations team, it is a real pleasure to be part of such special moments. We are very happy to know that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery, had the opportunity to see different animals, and that the memories of the hikes and the waterfall will stay with you as an invitation to continue discovering the wonderful places Costa Rica has to offer. We hope to welcome you again very soon! Pura vida Green Vacations

La Fortuna Waterfall, Hanging Bridges, Arenal Volcano Combo Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does La Fortuna Waterfall, Hanging Bridges, Arenal Volcano Combo Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $154 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does La Fortuna Waterfall, Hanging Bridges, Arenal Volcano Combo Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Fortuna is not rushed.
Is La Fortuna Waterfall, Hanging Bridges, Arenal Volcano Combo Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,879 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule La Fortuna Waterfall, Hanging Bridges, Arenal Volcano Combo Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is La Fortuna Waterfall, Hanging Bridges, Arenal Volcano Combo Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book La Fortuna Waterfall, Hanging Bridges, Arenal Volcano Combo Tour?
+
Around 658 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Fortuna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does La Fortuna Waterfall, Hanging Bridges, Arenal Volcano Combo Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Fortuna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in La Fortuna?
+
On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, White Water Rafting Class II and III, Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit La Fortuna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in La Fortuna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); optical equipment. binoculars and telescope; Bottled water; and Personal expenses and souvenirs.
