Start a day of adventure with a Sky Tram cable car ride that rises gently through the tropical jungle, offering endless views. During the ride in the gondolas, your bilingual guide will teach you about the area, also having the ability to stop the cable car at any time to capture magnificent photographs. Observe birds and tropical forest species until you arrive at the observation deck, boasting stunning views of the volcano and the lake. From here, we’ll enjoy the SkyTrek zip-line tour and fly along almost two miles (3 kms) of cables, with speeds of more than 60 km per hour and with wonderful views of the rainforest, the volcano and Lake Arenal. Once we disembark from our adrenaline adventure, we’ll have some time to enjoy the orchid and butterfly garden before returning to the hotel. This add-on incudes entrance fees and roundtrip transportation.
