2 in 1 Safari Float and La Fortuna Waterfall

This combination tour includes a safari float along the Peñas Blancas River and a visit to the La Fortuna Waterfall. It’s a great introduction to the Arenal area.

This tour begins at 7:30 AM. You’ll be picked up from your hotel and taken to the Peñas Blancas River, arriving at 8:00 AM—this is the time of day when birds and animals are most active. As such, travelers will have awesome opportunities to see wildlife and experience the sights and sounds of the rainforest. The float takes 2 to 3 hours and is suitable for the whole family. Tropical fruit will be offered during the float.

After the safari float, you’ll drive to the La Fortuna Waterfall. The La Fortuna Waterfall cascades from a lush forest into a cold and clear pool. You’ll have the opportunity to swim, take photos, or simply enjoy the scenery.

Lunch is included at the end of this tour. A local family will prepare a delicious, typical-style meal. You’ll probably be hungry from all the activities and are sure to enjoy this home-cooked food.

The tour starts at 7:30 AM and ends at 2:30 PM.

Our guide was exceptional and would certainly recommend.

The safari float was quite nice. We saw lots of wildlife and took some good photos. Our guide was quite knowledgeable. You don't have to do any paddling - just watch the animals. The waterfall hike is quite strenuous. Two of our party of 4 decided to not try it. Most people can make it okay but the hike back up is quite an effort. The effort is well worth it.

William, the guide, and Edgar, the driver provided a memorable, informative experience. William is a walking encyclopedia for the plants and animals we saw along the float. This tour is a way to imerse onesself into this area. We are both seniors and they accommodated our physical abilities.

A big rap for our tour guide Zender who was charming, informative and funny and went out of his way to make sure we saw lots of the local wild life and gave us lots of information about Costa Rica itself.

Loved the tour but unfortunately it rained all day! Tony was a very good guide pointing out wildlife and informing us about lots of things. I still swam in the waterfall well I couldn't get any wetter. We had been to the waterfall the previous day in the sunshine so I knew the swim was good. Our lunch at Edgar's house was delicious. Ileana really looked after us so well. We loved their beautiful garden, so amazing to be able to grow such a variety of food and have such colourful birds visit the bird table.
