You start your tour at 9:00 AM when you are picked up and transfer to the first park located about 25 minutes away on the north side of the Arenal Volcano. Here you will hike along 3.5 miles (6km) path starting at 1640 feet (500m) above sea level climbing to over 2625 feet (800m) to reach the base of the volcano. There you will find a solid lava field. Then you will go to the green lagoon found right in front of the volcano where you can swim and jump into the water. After your time in the green lagoon, you will be served a typical Costa Rican lunch and drinks.  After lunch, you will go to the Observatory Lodge. There you will find hanging bridges, a waterfall in the middle of the forest where you can swim. Enjoy a tour of the area and its viewpoints where you can wait for the sunset while looking out over Arenal Lake. Then travel to the hot springs of Tabacón to enjoy 1.5-hours in the hot springs. Enjoy alcoholic drinks and a volcanic mud mask. After relaxing in the hot springs you will be taken back to your hotel.
