Hot Springs at Arenal Volcano

The Arenal hot springs tour drops you straight into Costa Rica's most iconic geothermal landscape — a series of mineral-rich, naturally heated pools fed by water flowing under the slopes of the Arenal volcano. This Arenal hot springs tour gives you premium access to the country's most spectacular thermal resort, where steaming rivers, waterfalls, and jungle-shaded pools sit in the shadow of one of the world's most beautiful conical volcanoes.

You'll enter through a forested entrance and follow stone pathways past hot waterfalls, swim-up bars, and dozens of pools ranging from a refreshing 27°C to a deeply relaxing 40°C. The pools tier down the hillside, surrounded by rainforest, with bromeliads and orchids growing right at the water's edge and the silhouette of Arenal volcano rising overhead. Underground springs heated by residual volcanic activity feed every pool — the water is naturally rich in minerals known to soothe sore muscles and skin.

The Arenal hot springs tour includes a multi-course dinner buffet of Costa Rican specialties (ceviche, plantains, casado, tres leches), plus access to all relaxation areas, waterfall pools, and the swim-up bar (drinks sold separately). It's the perfect way to cap a day of adventure — ziplining, rafting, or hiking the volcano — with hours of warm-water bliss as the jungle wraps around you.
