    Arenal Volcano Hikes & Tours in La Fortuna

    Explore at your pace with VIVO local naturalist guides.

    • Local guides
    • Private or small group
    • Transport priced separately

    Explore old lava flows, forest trails and viewpoints around Arenal with a VIVO local naturalist guide. The 1968 walk focuses on volcanic history and the landscape left by past eruptions; bridge combinations add a different perspective on the forest canopy. Choose a shorter outing if you want time to relax afterward, or compare combinations when you want to connect several experiences in one day. Trails can be uneven, humid and muddy, so closed walking shoes, water and rain protection are sensible choices. Clouds sometimes cover the summit, but the forest and geological story remain worthwhile in changing weather. Wildlife is free to move and sightings cannot be guaranteed. Tell us your walking pace, hotel and preferred start time before booking so we can help identify a suitable route. Hotel transport is quoted separately, and each tour detail page explains its own itinerary.
