Hot Springs La Fortuna Costa RicaCanopy Tour and Hot Springs in Arenal: Zip Line, Rappel and a Soak
This canopy tour and hot springs in Arenal combines a zip line course, a 50 meter rappel and a thermal soak in one booking. Go Adventure Park runs 13 platforms and 9 cables over the Arenal River canyon, with chances to see monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds and sloths along the way. After the adrenaline part ends, the tour moves to the hot springs at Montaña de Fuego Resort, with the entry fee bundled into the $70 per person price.

About This Tour
This Go Adventure Park combo starts in the trees and ends in warm water. The canopy course runs 13 platforms and 9 cables across the Arenal River canyon, and a 50 meter rappel is part of the course. Guides point out wildlife along the way, including three kinds of monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds and sloths.
The tour is listed at 2 hours for the zip line, cables and rappel. After that comes the hot springs soak at Montaña de Fuego Resort, included in the price. No separate figure is published for how long you spend in the water, so treat the soak as a closing stop rather than a full afternoon at the pools.

What the Day Is Really Like
The listing publishes no clock times, so the sequence below follows the operator's own itinerary description rather than fixed hours.
Pickup in La Fortuna
Hotel pickup starts 30 to 60 minutes before the tour start time, so allow for a van window rather than an exact minute. The meeting point is Go Adventure Park itself, and the operator sends a Google Maps link at booking. Arrive at least 15 minutes early, because the operator states the tour starts on time.
The Canopy Course
The 2 hour activity covers 13 platforms and 9 cables strung over the Arenal River canyon. Between cables there is time to look for the three monkey species that live in the zone, plus toucans, hummingbirds and sloths. Wear clothes and shoes that can get wet.
Crocs or sandals with a backstrap are best, and flip flops are not allowed.
The 50 Meter Rappel
A 50 meter rappel is built into the course, so you descend rather than only fly. The listing rates the activity as suitable for all physical fitness levels but not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries. The maximum weight is 225 lbs or 110 kg.
Maleku Village Visit
The inclusions list a visit to Maleku Village alongside the fees and taxes, so a cultural stop is part of the package rather than an optional extra.
Hot Springs at Montaña De Fuego Resort
After the course, the tour moves to the hot springs at Montaña de Fuego Resort with entry already paid. This is the closing stop. No minutes-in-water figure is published, and the listed 2 hours covers the zip line, cables and rappel before the soak.
If you want a long, unhurried session in the pools, book a separate day pass afterwards or instead.
Who This Tour Rules Out
The operator states clear limits on age, weight, health and footwear. Check them before booking rather than at the platform.
Age and Weight Limits
Minimum age is 6 years, with age bands running child 7-9, youth 10-12, adult 13-59 and senior 60-99. The maximum weight is 225 lbs or 110 kg. If your group includes younger children or anyone above the weight limit, a pool-only pass such as the Los Lagos hot springs ticket avoids the harness rules entirely.
Health and Fitness
The listing says the activity suits all physical fitness levels but is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries. That warning is specific to the rappel and the harness work, not the soak. Travelers who only want the thermal water can look at a quieter option like the Ecotermales rainforest day pass, which involves no equipment at all.
Footwear and Mobility
Flip flops are banned. Any clothes and shoes that can get wet work, and crocs or backstrap sandals are the operator's recommendation. No wheelchair access is stated in the listing, so contact the operator before booking if that matters.
Public transportation options are available nearby if you are not using the included pickup.
People Who Hate Crowds
This is a shared tour, not private, with up to 50 travelers per booking. If you want the course to yourself, the private ATV and hot springs combo runs as a private, one-person-per-ATV outing instead, at $160 per person.
What to Settle Before You Book
A few practical points decide whether this $70 combo goes smoothly. Most of them are settled with a message to the operator before you pay.
Cancellation and Weather
You can cancel free up to 24 hours before the scheduled departure time for a full refund. The listing does not state that you can cancel for bad weather and still get a refund, so if the forecast looks wet, cancel inside the 24 hour window rather than waiting. Rainy season in La Fortuna runs May through November, with the heaviest rain from June to October.
Confirm in Writing
Ask the seller to confirm your exact pickup time, since pickups start 30 to 60 minutes before the tour start and no fixed schedule is published. Also confirm the guide language, because none is stated in the listing, and ask whether the hot springs stop has a set time limit on the day.
What to Bring
Wear clothes and shoes that can get wet. Crocs or backstrap sandals are best and flip flops are not allowed. The operator recommends sunscreen, water, a hat and a waterproof camera, and says you can bring your own small cooler.
No towel or locker is mentioned as included, so bring a towel and a little cash for extras such as souvenir photos, the DVD, drinks and gratuities.
Getting There from La Fortuna Town
You do not need a car. Hotel pickup and drop-off in La Fortuna are included, starting 30 to 60 minutes before the start time. If you prefer to drive yourself, the meeting point is Go Adventure Park and the operator sends a Google Maps link when you book.
No drive time or parking cost is stated in the listing, so use the map link to plan the route.

What Works and What Does Not
An honest read of this listing against the other passes on the site.
What we genuinely like
- The $70 price covers the course, the rappel, the soak entry and hotel transport, which is rare at this level
- 13 platforms, 9 cables and a 50 meter rappel make a genuinely varied course over the Arenal River canyon
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure
- Small commitments of time, with the core activity listed at 2 hours rather than a full day
The honest downsides
- The soak is a closing stop with no stated time in the water, so pool lovers may feel shortchanged
- Souvenir photos, DVD, drinks and gratuities all cost extra, and no towel or locker is stated as included
- Shared transport with up to 50 travelers per booking, not a private outing
- Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, and the 225 lbs / 110 kg weight cap excludes some adults
Who it's NOT for: Travelers whose main goal is a long, relaxed session in thermal pools should book a dedicated day pass instead of this adrenaline-first combo.
Questions About This Tour
How long do I get in the hot springs on this tour?
The listing does not state a minutes-in-water figure. The 2 hour duration covers the zip line, cables and rappel before the soak at Montaña de Fuego Resort, so if long sessions in the pools are the priority, compare it with the Ecotermales day pass, which runs 10am to 4pm.
Is hotel pickup included from La Fortuna?
Yes, hotel pickup and drop-off are included, with pickups commencing approximately 30 to 60 minutes before the tour start time. That puts it ahead of passes like the Baldi day pass, which requires your own transport.
Can children join this canopy and hot springs tour?
Yes, from age 6, with age bands of child 7-9, youth 10-12, adult 13-59 and senior 60-99. There is also a maximum weight of 225 lbs or 110 kg for the course. Younger children who only want the water may do better with a pool-only ticket from our La Fortuna, Costa Rica hot springs.
What should I wear and bring?
Wear clothes and shoes that can get wet. Crocs or backstrap sandals are best and flip flops are not allowed. The operator recommends sunscreen, water, a hat and a waterproof camera, and you can bring a small cooler. No towel or locker is stated as included, so check what to expect at Montaña de Fuego in the hotels with hot springs guide.
Can I cancel if the weather turns bad?
You can cancel free up to 24 hours before the scheduled departure time for a full refund. The listing does not state a refund for weather cancellations on the day, so decide inside that window. La Fortuna's rainy season runs May through November, with June to October the wettest.
Is this a private tour?
No. It is a shared tour with up to 50 travelers per booking, and private transportation is explicitly excluded. If you want a private format, the private ATV and hot springs combo runs one person per ATV with a rustic rainforest spring at the end.
How does this compare with other hot springs options in La Fortuna?
This combo trades pool time for adrenaline at $70 per person with transport included. If you would rather go straight to the thermal water, the Los Lagos hot springs ticket covers resort pools heated by Arenal's groundwater from $65.
