Description
Discover Costa Rica's most iconic volcano on this exciting Arenal Volcano ATV tour through the lush landscapes and valleys of La Fortuna. Navigate your trusty all terrain vehicle through untouched rainforest trails and remote mountain routes on this tour combining exhilarating adventure, unique culture and incredible tropical nature.
Your journey starts with a thorough introduction and safety briefing from your expert local guides to ensure your confidence in handling your quad safely. Then you'll kickstart your ATV to set off into the lush rainforest to the first stop of the tour, the Maleku Indigenous Village to learn about their traditions and culture. After a short presentation, you'll hop back on your vehicle to the Monterrey viewpoint for unbeatable views of the majestic Arenal Volcano. Here, you'll have a break for photos and a sip of water, as you soak in all the views.
The last stop before return is at the pristine Arenal River, to cool off and take a dip in the refreshing waters. Keep an eye out as you may spot toucans or monkeys enjoying the same watering hole!
For those on the three hour tour, your last hour will include a ride through a private eco-park through muddier trails and denser rainforest, to reach a breathtaking view of Arenal Volcano, to see it's classic cone peeking through the tops of the forest canopy.
