Half-Day Chocolate Tour And Boat Adventure Through Rainforest

This 2 in 1 adventure is a perfect way to see the beauties of the rainforest in a shorter period of time. On the boat, you will listen to the wonderful sounds of nature, birds, and the water, and of course have a great time finding amazing wildlife along the way. On the cocoa plantations you'll tehn learn a lot about the Costa Rican culture as well!

We'll meet you in the foyer of your hotel to begin this incredible adventure. Once your reservation is confirmed, your exact pick-up time will be confirmed on your itinerary. 

At the beginning of the journey your guide will offer all required boating equipment, including life jackets and paddles, as well as detailed instructions on how to navigate the raft. While navigating on level water, your guide will take you down the river, spotting flora and animals to show you. This is a terrific opportunity to observe monkeys, reptiles, birds, sloths, and a magnificent quiet backdrop.

After a couple of hours on the river, you'll disembark and have a delightful Costa Rican snack on a local family farm, which includes tropical fruits, plantain and cheese, and a delectable coffee. Then the Arenal chocolate tour awaits you. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in one of Costa Rica's most important traditions. The Arenal chocolate tour begins with a tasting of excellent sugar cane juice on the sugar cane fields. Then you'll visit a cacao farm, which is where the cacao beans that produce chocolate are grown, and you'll be able to see and taste the chocolate making process. 

A fresh and tasty typical lunch will be waiting for you at an outdoor private farm in the countryside, allowing you to get a real taste of Costa Rican cuisine and our popular "casado," which translates to "married," and consists of rice, beans, salad, picadillo, your choice of meat (chicken, beef, fish, or pork), and fried sweet plantain. There is always a vegetarian alternative.

This fantastic half-day is completed, giving you an excellent taste of what this lovely place has to offer and allowing you to unwind for the rest of the day. We'll bring you back to your hotel.
