Arenal Boat Tours

Understanding that not all travelers to Costa Rica are interested in extreme adventures, The Real Deal Tours offers an ideal tour for you and your family to enjoy. The Pontoon Caño Negro tour allows you to take in all the wonderful sights and get up close to the wildlife in a leisurely way with a visit to the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge.

Always striving for ways to combine eco-friendly technology with ecotourism in Costa Rica, we have a new eco-tour option that is great for all ages. Combining our comfortable rafts with the modern technology, our Eco Safari is the best way to connect with wildlife on the Rio Frio and the surrounding the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge.

There are several boat tours in Arenal that are fun for the whole family. This Arenal rafting safari on the Penas Blancas River is perfect for the more adventurous families with children as young as 3 years old! Gently paddle down the river while your naturalist guide points out wildlife such as monkeys, sloths, crocodiles and more!

The rainforest is a completely different place when the sun goes down, and now you can see it for yourself! Join the night shift: bats, caimans, monkeys, birds and so much more get this evening party started as you float your way right through the center of it all.

Sipping on wine. Snacking on some of Costa Rica’s best selection of local cheeses. Seeking out wildlife in their natural habitat. Watching the sun set with the Arenal Volcano as the backdrop. A boat ride on Lake Arenal. All this sounds like the perfect ending to the perfect day to you? Then our Lake Arenal Sunset Cruise is the perfect boat tour in Costa Rica for you!

You do not always need a boat to have the most amazing boat safari in Costa Rica. If a lazy river float is more your speed, then tubing Rio Celeste is a great way to get out on the water from La Fortuna area. Best of all, you will have a chance to float one of the most iconic rivers in all of Costa Rica known for its amazing blue lagoon.

All that adventure in the rainforest is amazing of course. But if you want to escape to the beach for the day, a trip to Tortuga island from La Fortuna is an amazing way to spend the day soaking up the sun. In fact, it is one of the most popular things to do in Costa Rica. With optional transportation from La Fortuna, you can come aboard and see for yourself. Relax on the beach, snorkel in Nicoya Peninsula, add some water sports action, enjoy a tasty beach BBQ, or opt to sip cocktails as you lounge away on one of the most popular beaches in Costa Rica.
