Getting There

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.

The Playbook

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.

Good to Know

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.
