About This Experience

Side by side tours are a perfect way to cover the variety of exciting and challenging terrains while offering spectacular views of the Arenal Volcano. (on a clear day)

Guides will navigate you through rivers, mud, and the Costa Rican Jungle, sharing knowledge of Costa Rica’s incredible biodiversity.

The tour starts with a warm-up track to help you get comfortable with operating the machines. Once the SBSs are warmed up, we’ll progress to the more advanced sections, bringing you closer to the volcano. Here, you will have a short break to take in the stunning views of the La Fortuna ranges and the majestic Arenal Volcano.

After enjoying the backcountry and some trails, you head to the Arenal River for a drink and a refreshing swim. (weather permitting)

Once you’ve relaxed and cleaned off some of the mud from your SBS adventure, it’s time to return to the trails and head back to the entrance.
