Discover La Fortuna with Greater Awareness

At Boana Travel, we believe discovering a destination means more than visiting its best-known places. It also means slowing down, observing, and understanding the nature that gives it its identity. Our guided experiences are designed to help you notice the details around you, ask questions, and enjoy La Fortuna and Arenal in a more personal, relaxed, and mindful way.

Private Tours and Small-Group Experiences

Boana Travel has experience with both formats, but they are not the same. A private tour is arranged for one specific group, while a small-group experience may be shared with other participants. The available format must be confirmed based on the tour, date, and number of travelers. Not every tour should automatically be presented as private.

How We Guide You

What You Can Expect from Boana Travel

Despite the horrible weather, we had the chance to see several sloths, among which a baby and one going down and up a tree. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable! Note that you need to book your tour upfront...

Awesome tour! Our guide Eric found so many sloths 🙂 really worth it.

Olivier Gauthier

What a nice tour close to the Arenal area but far from the mad crowds of La Fortuna! Their rain forest has everything: sloths, howler monkeys, birds and a great volcano view point too. Our guide Miller was super kind and very knowledgeable, and so was Francela at the reception. Highly recommended!

It was honestly one the best experiences we had in Costa Rica! There were two guides and the group was divided in two, so only my friend and I went with the guide which made it possible to see so many things and ask so mny questions. Our guide Eric was truly knowledgable and we learned so much! We were able to see many frog and toad species, stick bugs, leaf bugs, many lizards and snakes, and even a wolly possum which was so adorable. Truly amazing totally recomend!

AMAZING!! I came solo and had an incredible time! I loved looking for all of the frogs and spiders and snakes! It was such a fun and exciting experience!

Hicimos el safari nocturno en el Arenal con Eric. Aún no terminamos nuestro viaje por Costa Rica, pero hasta ahora, ha sido nuestro tour favorito de todo el viaje. Eric es un guía fantástico: agradable, gracioso y sobre todo se ve que controla el ecosistema animal y vegetal. Nos respondió varias dudas que no habían sido resueltas por otros guías y nos dotó de información extra muy interesante durante todo el recorrido. A pesar de los días lluviosos que tuvimos, esa noche con el conocimiento de Eric pudimos ver serpientes, ranas, arañas y escorpiones. Eric en todo momento se mostró servicial y dispuesto a ayudar (hace unas fotos increíbles). Si puedes elegir tu guía, pregunta por Eric, que sin duda es el mejor.

Wildlife, Great guides, 100% recommend This was a fantastic experience. On time hotel pickup, friendly and very funny guide Eddy, and we saw snakes; a variety of them, red eyed frogs, scorpions, spiders, freshwater crabs, stick bugs, butterflies and moths, fireflies; he told us to turn off all of our lights for a beautiful night view. We were given lamps, and he offered to take amazing photos for us and it was truly a great experience.. i had a 6 years old with me who was happy and taken care of! 100% would do it again.
