About the Tours

Boana Travel offers four nature experiences in La Fortuna and Arenal: the Mistico Hanging Bridges Tour, Sloth Tour, Arenal Volcano Tour, and Night Wildlife Tour. Each experience has a different duration, distance, price, and focus.
Mistico combines rainforest and hanging bridges; the Sloth Tour offers a shorter, more relaxed walk; the Arenal Volcano Tour focuses on trails, scenery, and natural history; and the Night Wildlife Tour lets you explore how the forest changes after dark. If you’re still unsure, tell us how much time you have and what kind of experience you’re looking for, and we’ll help you compare the options.
The Mistico Hanging Bridges Tour lasts 2 to 3 hours; the Sloth Tour, 1.5 to 2 hours; the Arenal Volcano Tour, 2 to 3 hours; and the Night Wildlife Tour, 1.5 to 2 hours.
All four tours include a professional bilingual guide, admission to the park or activity location, and personal attention. Flashlights are included when the activity requires them, such as on the Night Wildlife Tour.

Guide and Wildlife Observation

No. Wildlife is free-ranging, and sightings can vary. Your guide helps look for signs, identify details, and observe the environment responsibly, but cannot guarantee the presence of any specific species.
