What to Expect on This Full-Day Sky Tram & Hot Springs Combo

Your private adventure begins with a convenient morning pickup directly from your hotel in San Jose. Traveling in a comfortable, modern, air-conditioned vehicle, you will enjoy a scenic drive through the beautiful mountains and countryside of Costa Rica, heading toward the northern lowlands and the famous town of La Fortuna, right at the base of the active Arenal Volcano.

Morning: Breathtaking Arenal Sky Tram Gondola Ride

Upon arrival, you will board the Sky Tram, a high-tech gondola system that smoothly ascends through the tropical rainforest to an observation deck located at the highest point of the reserve. This ride is perfect for all ages and physical conditions, offering a safe, comfortable, and slow-paced way to take in the scenery.

Accompanied by a certified naturalist guide, you will glide above the treetops while learning about the local ecosystem and spotting birds or wildlife. Once at the top observation platform, you will be rewarded with jaw-dropping, unobstructed panoramic views of the colossal Arenal Volcano, the vast Lake Arenal, and the surrounding mountain ranges—making for incredible photography opportunities.

Afternoon & Evening: Relaxation at Baldi Hot Springs

After taking in the views from above, the journey transitions to Baldi Hot Springs, one of the premier geothermal water resorts in the Arenal region. Here, you will spend the afternoon exploring 25 distinct thermal pools naturally heated by the volcano’s geothermal energy.

Surrounded by lush, beautifully manicured tropical gardens, these mineral-rich waters provide the ultimate setting to unwind and soothe your body. Baldi also features exciting, large water slides for those looking for a bit of extra fun.

To perfectly round out your full-day excursion, this private tour includes a comprehensive, delicious Buffet Meal at the resort’s main restaurant, featuring a wide variety of authentic Costa Rican specialties and international dishes before your comfortable private drive back to San Jose.
