Field notes
3h drive from SJO
San José International Airport (SJO) is a scenic 3-hour drive. The route winds through mountainous terrain and coffee plantations; private transfers or a 4WD rental are recommended. Arrive during daylight hours to easily navigate the final volcano roads.
Morning Excursions & Spa
Always schedule volcano hikes and hanging bridge tours at dawn. In Arenal, cloud caps build by 9am, and afternoon showers are common, meaning morning outings deliver the best views and animal sightings. Private thermal plunge pools are available 24/7.
High Canopy Exposure
The stilted tents are positioned high in the rainforest canopy, which delivers spectacular volcano views but also means you'll hear rain falling directly on the canvas roofs. The jungle environment also guarantees encounters with insects and humidity.
