The river is filled with waterfall, canyons, and crystal clear water on your 4 hour rafting trip. The rapids are class III & IV and during April it is running a bit low so it will not be too rough.

You will have a great view of the volcano from your hotel room. Dinner will be at the hotel as we will be arriving late after the day of rafting. (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner)

Day 3 ------ Zipline & La Fortuna Falls (Arenal Hotel)

The views of the active volcano are unmatched and the cables go through the rainforest. After the zipline we will make our way to La Fortuna Falls which is one of Costa Rica's most beautiful waterfalls. It is a bit of a hike but well worth the swim hole at the bottom. (Meals: Breakfast)

Canyoneering (Could be you Laura!)

This is an adventure for all ages (almost all ages) and great fun if your looking to get wet, see the jungle, and feel some adrenaline.
