Welcome to San Jose. In the evening, meet your HGV host, tour director and fellow travel companions for a welcome dinner.
After your morning breakfast, drive to Arenal Volcano and explore the adventure capital of Costa Rica with a Pick Your Experience activity.
Option 1: Shoot down the roaring rapids and bob over the gushing waters of the Sarapiquí River, then glide along smooth waters for scenic forest, exotic birds and wildlife views.
Option 2: Learn about and taste one of Costa Rica’s delicious and versatile foods, the heart of the palm.
Enjoy a private lunch surrounded by lush rainforest and drive to your Arenal accommodation. After you’ve settled into your accommodation, you’ll learn how to make a Guaro Sour cocktail using the traditional liqueur of Costa Rica at a private class at the hotel. Junior Adventurers will enjoy a tropical fruit juice tasting experience.
Explore the flora and fauna of the Rio Frio (Cold River) on a guided boat ride through a wildlife refuge. Keep an eye out for the local wildlife, including monkeys, sloths, bats, crocodiles and more. Enjoy a riverside lunch at the wildlife refuge before spending the rest of your day at leisure.
Prepare for an adventure-filled day. Take the scenic Sky Tram gondola through the rainforest and up the mountains for breathtaking views. Once at the top, Pick Your Experience between an adrenaline rush or a peaceful retreat.
Option 1: Gear up for the ultimate zipline experience and zip from peak to peak for awe-inspiring views of Arenal and its forest canopy.
Option 2: Enjoy a peaceful and guided nature walk through the surrounding jungle.
Enjoy your afternoon at leisure in La Fortuna. The Arenal volcano serves as a backdrop from almost any vantage point in this small yet picturesque town. In the afternoon, immerse yourself in a geothermal pool with a visit to the natural hot springs. Relax in this soothing sanctuary heated by the Arenal volcano. After you’ve finished relaxing at the hot springs, you’ll enjoy a traditional Costa Rican dinner prepared onsite at the local restaurant.
Finish out your visit to Arenal with a guided tour of the Cacao Rainforest and learn the history of the native Cacao tree and sample the chocolate it produces. After lunch at a traditional local restaurant, enjoy an afternoon drive to the tropical paradise of Guanacaste – famous for its pristine shoreline, beautiful mountain ranges and tranquil waters. In the evening, adults will enjoy a contemporary cuisine made from fresh local ingredients while Junior Adventurers enjoy a kid-friendly dinner followed by a Disney movie presentation.
After your breakfast, head down to the beach to begin your Catamaran adventure. You’ll anchor in deep waters where you can snorkel, swim or sunbathe. After a light snack onboard, your catamaran returns to your hotel for an afternoon at leisure. Take a stand-up paddle lesson, go kayaking, go surfing or simply sit back and relax on the beach. In the evening, join your HGV host, tour director and fellow travelers for a traditional music and dance performance followed by a farewell dinner.
Your vacation ends with breakfast as you prepare to say farewell and journey homeward.
