Arenal Volcano is one of the most popular attractions in Costa Rica and for good reason! Today you will learn all about it, the wildlife that inhabits the surrounding jungle and then wind down at the amazing Tabacon Hot Springs Resort.

After picking you up at your local hotel, the tour starts off at one of the reserves at the base of the volcano. Your bilingual guide will lead the way telling you all about the history of the iconic volcano including the deadly 1968 eruption. While Arenal is not erupting at the moment, it can start back up at any time. Scientists still consider the sleeping giant to be an active volcano. There are plenty of signs of life including frequent steam and the hot springs that flow from the base.

The tour through the reserve will be on a trail through secondary jungle. With a little luck and cooperation from Mother Nature you may be able to see exotic wildlife such as sloths, monkeys, toucans, iguanas, peccaries and more.

After an hour and a half to two hours of walking and hiking through the reserve, you will be brought to the world famous Tabacon Hot Springs Resort. This beautiful resort is surrounded by jungle and lush tropical gardens that highlight the main attraction, the soothing hot springs. Tabacon offers guests a wide variety of hot springs pools and streams of varying temperatures and sizes, so you will surely find the perfect spot to relax and take in the beauty.

A buffet style dinner is included at the Tabacon Resort, so you will be able to replenish after your day of adventure. After two to three hours at the Tabacon Resort you will be picked up and returned to your area hotel. Note that the El Silencio Trail is normally used, but this is subject to change as are approximate times. This fun filled half day, evening excursion includes guide, transportation, entrance to the private reserve, hot springs admission and dinner.

Our guide was fabulous! The visit to the volcano was very informative, not too strenuous. The hot springs was also great. We wish we had gotten to the hot springs a little earlier in the day. Was dark by the time we got there, but we did spend a lot of time at Arenal volcano. Food and service at the hot springs was excellent.

The guide was very nice, fun, and knowledgeable. I think we misunderstood the logistics of the tour from the original description though. It was still a good experience, but we thought that it was a hike into a natural hot springs area, so we might have dressed differently for the hike. Tabacon hot springs was beautiful though, a very fun experience, and the dinner was great. The logistics of the new driver picking us up at the end went perfectly. Overall we had a great time but expected something slightly different.

We ended up having a private tour which was really nice. Our guide was super knowledgeable about the plant life and pointed out a bunch of stuff for us. The hot springs were huge and seemed never ending and the dinner was one of our favorite meals.
