Hotel Arenal Springs Resort (3 Nights)
Day 1 — Your VIP greeter will be waiting to assist with your luggage and get you on your way to La Fortuna as soon as your flight touches down at the international airport. Shift into vacation mode when you arrive at Arenal Springs Ecoresort, sip a drink on your private terrace while enjoying the exuberant tropical gardens and the best views of Arenal volcano. Relax this evening because tomorrow the adventures start in earnest.
Arenal Volcano Hike
Day 2 — Arenal Volcano dominates every view from anywhere in the region, but to really see the eruptive action and lava flows you need to be in the right place at the right time. The right place is the observation clearing at the end of a short walk through the rain forest and the right time is late afternoon and early evening when your guide will accompany you on the volcano viewing hike.
Baldi Termale Hot Springs
After the thrill of Arenal rumbling and erupting you're in for a relaxing evening at Baldi Hot Springs enjoying the geothermally heated mineral waters as the volcano continues to rumble in the background. The kids area (big kids or little) features water slides while the adults can enjoy a more sedate romantic atmosphere and swim up bar. Between dips towel off and enjoy a leisurely buffet dinner (included).
White Water Rafting Río Balsa
Day 3 — Today you have a choice between two activities on the water.
Choose White Water Rafting on the Río Balsa and professional guides will navigate you through Class II and III rapids. This is a great adventure for first time and experienced rafters alike. Hold on and enjoy the ride! Challenge yourself as you paddle through fun and safe rolling rapids with names like "Morning Coffee" and "Rock around the Croc" and then play around in tranquil river pools in an isolated rain forest river canyon! Lunch included.

Optional Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge
Or choose a jungle riverboat ride through the wilds of the Río Frío and ever changing seasonal Lago Caño Negro. The wetland refuge includes some of the best wildlife viewing anywhere in Costa Rica, protecting the breeding grounds of dozens of species of aquatic birds featuring three species of monkeys, both types of sloths, caiman (cousins of crocodiles) , turtles and even bull sharks. Lunch included.
Ríu Resort Playa Matapalo (3 Nights)
Day 4 — In the afternoon you'll head for the Pacific coast and the newest jewel in the crown of Guanacaste beach resorts. Isolated in tropical splendor on playa Matapalo the Riu offers quiet luxury surrounding pools and gardens sprinkled right to the edge of the sand.
ROOM DESCRIPTION - The Ríu and all its room amenities are brand new and the highest quality. Your double room features a jungle view, king or two double beds, central air-conditioning, satellite television and much more.

Canopy Zipline Adventure Guanacaste
Day 5 — The canopy is where the action is; over 80% of tropical species are in the treetops and the tropical dry forests of the Guanacaste hills are the perfect place to take flight! Pause on the platforms between the high speed zip cables to give your team of guides a chance to point out a mono carablanca (white-faced capuchin monkey) or pizote (coatimundi).
Optional Snorkeling Guanacaste
If you prefer you may replace the zip-line with a snorkeling tour on the Pacific coast. A professional bilingual guide will lead you on a snorkeling adventure above a vibrant tropical coral reef. Costa Rica's Pacific coast is teaming with tropical fish, but there's also a good chance of seeing pelagic sea life like Olive Ridley turtles, rays and maybe even a shark if you're incredibly lucky.
Optional The Ríu - Exclusive & Inclusive
Day 6 — The Ríu is the newest top end exclusive resort in Guanacaste and your stay is all inclusive.
A few days of relaxation in the sun with a cold beer or tropical drink (included of course) propped next to you on the beach could be everything you want to finish off your sojourn in paradise, but if you've still got energy for adventures we can arrange snorkeling, sailing or other excursions and of course the Riu has a full service concierge desk.
