Pure Life Adventure

In La Fortuna, Arenal Springs Resort and Spa places you close to the region’s rainforest and volcanic scenery. The starting plan walks the suspended paths of Arenal Místico Hanging Bridges, then moves to the Río Sarapiquí for Class II and III whitewater. Each included activity can be exchanged for one of ten visible alternatives, including the Athica zipline, the Caño Negro riverboat safari, canyoning, wildlife walks and cultural experiences.

After the shared transfer to the central Pacific, Shana by the Beach becomes your starting stay for three nights in Manuel Antonio. The next two days remain open for beach time, the national park, cafés and sunsets, or a planner can add another experience. La Vela Boutique Hotel is the Save option, while Arenas del Mar Beach and Nature Resort offers an Upgrade comparison. Hotels, tours and transportation can all be adjusted to fit the travelers and dates.

• The route balances action and downtime: two included Arenal activity days lead into two open days by the Pacific.
• The starting stays are Arenal Springs and Shana by the Beach: each region also shows a lower-cost Save option and an Upgrade comparison.
• Río Sarapiquí is the rafting river: the starting rafting choice uses Class II and III rapids, with the Caño Negro riverboat safari available for a gentler day.
• The mixed transportation plan combines private and shared service: airport arrival and departure are private, while the Arenal-to-Manuel Antonio transfer is shared; all-private and rental-car comparisons are available.
• Party size can change the best transportation value: shared service is often less expensive for fewer than four travelers, the difference can narrow around four, and private service may cost less for larger parties.
