Paradise Found Inclusive Adventure

Paradise Found brings together two sides of Costa Rica that complement each other beautifully. Around La Fortuna, Arenal’s volcanic scenery rises above tropical gardens and rainforest. Los Lagos makes an inviting base, with hot springs and pools to return to after a day outdoors. Your first adventure takes you into the canopy: follow a guide across rainforest hanging bridges for a fresh perspective on the treetops, or glide from platform to platform on a zipline near Arenal.

The following day takes you to a different landscape. On a Caño Negro riverboat safari, scan the waterways and forest edges for caimans, howler and spider monkeys, and birds such as toucans. Or choose Río Sarapiquí’s Class II–III rapids, where a guided rafting trip combines lively water with lush rainforest scenery. Both river experiences include guides, transportation and lunch. Bring a reusable water bottle for your outing.

After three nights in Arenal, travel to Playa Samara on the Nicoya Peninsula. Palm-studded Pacific beaches, time to wander into town, and an adults-only boutique resort set the scene for relaxation. Azura Beach Resort pairs its beachfront setting with an ocean-view pool, dining and a sunset bar.

Days 5 and 6 leave the calendar open. Enjoy a beach stroll, spend a leisurely afternoon at the resort, or explore Samara at your own pace. This is the rewarding rhythm of Paradise Found: rainforest adventure, warm water and time together, followed by an easy coastal escape. Pacific Trade Winds brings the week together—and makes it easy to add your own touch.

Love hot springs? Compare Los Lagos with the gardens and guest hot springs of Arenal Springs. Prefer a simpler Arenal base? Take a look at Magic Mountain Hotel and Spa. On the coast, choose Azura’s resort atmosphere, the smaller Hideaway Hotel, or Locanda’s beachfront setting. Pick each Arenal outing independently, explore a different destination order, and find your own balance of adventure and downtime.

Arrive in Liberia and travel privately to Arenal. After three nights near the volcano, continue by road to Samara, then return to Liberia by private airport transfer on Day 7. Prefer the company of a shared regional shuttle, private transfers throughout, or the freedom of a rental car? Explore the travel style that fits your week.

For smaller parties, shared regional transport can reduce costs; for larger groups, private travel can be the better value.

Enjoy a taste of rainforest adventure with plenty of room to relax. Canopy ziplines and a lively river outing bring energy to your Arenal days, while hot springs and time by the Pacific give the week its easy rhythm. It is an inviting balance of outdoor discovery and a coastal escape.

• Two adventure days: choose canopy bridges or zipline on Day 2, then a riverboat safari or Río Sarapiquí rafting on Day 3.
• Two open coastal days: Days 5 and 6 are yours to enjoy without a scheduled guided outing.
• Your own combination: mix the stays and experiences that appeal to you, with rainforest adventure followed by time on the Pacific.
