Operated by Ecoglide Arenal Park · La Fortuna, Alajuela
The morning air around Arenal tastes of wet soil and green light; branches sway like muscles preparing for action as participants clip into a double-rope canopy system and step onto platforms high above the forest floor.
This combined itinerary starts in the treetops: 11 cables, 13 platforms and a suspension bridge that put the rainforest at eye level and the Arenal Volcano sometimes into view. The double-rope rigging used here adds redundancy and calm to the adrenaline — and the Tarzan Swing drops you nearly 40 meters into a vaulted green room, where the rope tugs you and the forest answers.
Geologically, you’re in volcanic country: Arenal’s lava flows shaped valleys and rivers that now carve class III rapids, the second act of the day. Culturally, La Fortuna grew around agriculture and volcano tourism; guides often share local history between runs. Wildlife is part of the set — toucans, howler monkeys and agoutis make frequent cameos.
Practical notes: expect an 8-hour outing that pairs aerial skills with basic rafting paddling. Fitness should be moderate; participants must be able to climb stairs, follow safety briefings and paddle for two hours on class III water. The operator provides helmets, harnesses and PFDs; bring a quick-dry change, sun protection and a secure waterproof phone case if you want photos.
Timing matters — mornings are cooler and drier, increasing visibility of Arenal. The combined format moves swiftly: canopy first while you’re fresh, then the swing, then a river-run that finishes with a compensating hot lunch. For families and mixed-ability groups, the program is intentionally accessible, but standard health restrictions (no pregnancy, serious heart/spine conditions) apply.
moderate.
8 hours.
Moderate—able to climb stairs, follow safety instructions, and paddle for two hours on class III rapids.
No. Guides provide a safety briefing and basic instruction; prior experience helps but is not required.
Helmets, harnesses, PFDs and paddles are provided; the canopy uses a redundant double‑rope system for added security.
The operator may cancel for heavy rain or unsafe river conditions; there is a 24‑hour full refund window for cancellations per policy.
La Fortuna developed as an agricultural town that expanded with tourism after Arenal’s modern eruptions and the growth of hot-spring resorts.
Operators emphasize minimal-impact practices: stays on platforms and marked trails reduce erosion, and guides discourage feeding wildlife to preserve natural behavior.
