Arenal Holidays


south & central america
Arenal holidays are famous for the picture-perfect cone of dramatic Volcan Arenal. This region is a must see for most people travelling to Costa Rica. Alongside the stunning, though sometimes elusive, views of the volcano this area has numerous other attractions to entice visitors.

The nearby rainforest is full of wildlife and you can wander along hanging bridges amongst the treetops, sail through the canopy on an adrenaline-fuelled zipline adventure or search for sloths from the forest floor. Lake Arenal lies in the shadow of the majestic volcano and is popular for activities like kayaking, paddle boarding and peddle boarding whilst the jungle trails around the lake can be explored on foot, by bike and horseback.

Arenal is also famous for its bubbling geothermal pools. After a busy day there is little better than soaking in one of the many volcanic hot springs to relax and rejuvenate.

Trailfinders offers a wide range of Arenal holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Arenal with your own private driver, embark on a fly drive, join a sociable small group tour, or are simply looking for advice on the best hotels to enjoy the stunning surroundings from – they are the perfect people to ask.
