Planning Tours in La Fortuna, Costa Rica

La Fortuna is one of Costa Rica's best bases for outdoor activities, with a large number of experiences situated only a short distance from the town. Since tour pick-ups are available, visitors do not need to rent a car if they want to follow an active itinerary.

What to book first

Ziplining and the hanging bridges are among the most frequently searched activities in La Fortuna and are therefore a good option for tourists who wish to see the rainforest and the views in the Arenal region. Rafting, canyoning, ATV tours, horseback riding and night tours provide additional adventure, while experiences involving sloths, coffee, chocolate and hot springs are suitable for a more relaxed day.

When the Arenal Volcano is a priority, you should choose hikes and combined tours that clearly explain where the activity is taking place, what is included, and the amount of walking involved.

How to choose a La Fortuna tour

Before booking, compare the length of the tours, the pickup location, the level of activity, the minimum age required, the inclusions, the cancellation policy, and the recent traveller reviews. Although some tours last only a few hours, others combine a number of activities into a full-day itinerary.

When staying for three or four nights it is generally advisable to combine one major adventure with some lighter activities such as wildlife viewing, soaking in the hot springs, or taking part in cultural experiences rather than filling each day with long excursions.

The prices listed on this page are the initial rates offered through Viator and may vary depending on the travel dates, availability, group size, and the options chosen. It is advisable to verify the final price and details before making a booking.
