Christy & Ben

The Arenal Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the Americas. From our observation point, we will feel the ground tremble and see the night sky explode with ash and lava in a natural display of fireworks. We will visit the hot springs of Arenal, where we will relax in the soothing waters and be caressed by the cool night air while observing the stars and the incredible night sky above the volcano. This is absolutely an evening we will not want to miss.

From the Bijagual Waterfalls we will plummet from cliffs deep within the lush jungle, climbing a small mountain range in the Carara National Park. On our adventure, we will witness breathtaking beauty of the Pacific Ocean and quaint fishing villages along the way, continuing on horseback through a jungle trail leading us to the waterfalls with its natural beauty, such as lush vegetation, toucans and red macaws. We will experience the pleasure of plunging in the pristine pools at the base of the waterfalls!

On our all-day tour we will be setting out to the open sea, having the chance to visit a burial grounds of the Pre-Columbian tribes, snorkel or scuba dive at a world-renowned diving hot spot. We will see many magnificent corals of a thousand colors, brilliantly colored fish and maybe even some friendly and fun-loving dolphins!

On our tour, we will depart from La Fortuna and drive to Los Chiles, a rustic town, taking a boat down to Rio Frio to the Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge. There, we will observe many different types of birds along with sloth, monkeys, caimans, lizards, bats and an array of colorful flora of the wetland. A truly beautiful experience!

Our tour begins with a hiking trip through a tropical humid forest, passing bridges and spectacular scenery, to the Fortuna Waterfall with amazing swimming holes. After our honeymoon lunch at "Lava Rocks Restaurant" we will make our way to tour the Arenal Volcano. As we walk up the lava flows and watch the sunset we'll await the darkness to see and hear glowing rocks of lava tumbling down the side of the mountain, then it's time for a relaxing soak in the warmed mineral waters of Tabacon Resort and a romantic honeymoon dinner for two!

With your wedding gift, we will experience the diversity of abundant marine life, magnificent colorful corals and the reef beyond! We will truly know where paradise subsides!

We are excited to go kayaking to Manzanillo arriving on the pristine Manzanillo Beach where we will start our underwater expedition. Swimming over beautiful corals, through caverns where an enchanted underwater garden awaits us with its precious treasures, brain coral, fire coral, turtle grass, parrot fish, angel fish, blue tangs and many more! Thanks to you!

We will journey deep into the rainforest with the sound of the crested-mandible toucan, the mealy parrot and the bay wrens as we see the jungle's tropical beauty, coming across an indigenous village with a thatched big hut where the clan's chief used to live, now used as a ceremonial place receiving knowledge and learning about the history of the different constructions. Our grand finale, stopping at the Medical Botanical Garden learning about the medicinal plants and what they have done to help the people. A truly wonderful and interesting experience for our honeymoon!

Floating down the Penas Blancas River, we will discover true peacefulness as we observe monkeys, sloth, iguanas, turtles, crocodiles and many species of birds. Rowing quietly and gently down the river will enable us to take photos, enjoying the sounds of nature, sipping on a drink and indulging on the local tropical fruits and not even disturbing the animals!

We look forward to scuba diving in this world-renowned diving location. The water is crystal clear and warm. The marine life is abundant with magnificent corals and the sea crustaceans of a thousand colors will amaze us. This will be a honeymoon day we'll always remember!

On our honeymoon we would love to visit the Botanical Gardens with a spectacular variety of plant life, with tropical wild flowers of every brilliant and bright color imaginable! Our guide will tell us about cultivation; characteristics and the care taking of these jeweled exotic beauties. One magical honeymoon experience!
