Enjoy a Day of Fun and Adventure
Club Rio Adventure Park at The Springs Resort in the Arenal area is an excellent choice for a full day of outdoor activities and natural experiences in one beautiful location. Located along a mile-long stretch of the Arenal River and directly below the resort, Club Rio offers a fun combination of adventure, wildlife encounters, hiking, and relaxation in natural hot springs.
Visitors have access to a variety of activities suitable for all ages and skill levels, including inflatable river kayaking and river tubing on Class I and II rapids, which feature calm stretches and some gentle white-water sections. There are horseback riding tours available where guests can explore the surrounding jungle and river trails, taking in the beautiful local wildlife and farmland scenery.
The park also features a 50-foot rock climbing and rappelling wall with routes for different skill levels, staffed by professional guides providing safety gear and instruction. For those wanting a more peaceful experience, nature hikes through hiking trails allow for bird watching, with about 40 bird species including White Hawks, Black-mandible Toucans, and Montezuma Oropendolas commonly seen. The on-site wildlife sanctuary is a highlight for many, offering the chance to observe rescued Costa Rican animals in natural habitats and enjoy behind-the-scenes wildlife feeding tours.
Guests can relax and rejuvenate in natural hot springs near the river’s edge, a perfect way to unwind after the day’s adventures. The Rancho Club Rio restaurant and bar provide local Costa Rican lunch options, drinks, and a tranquil place to rest while surrounded by rainforest sounds and river views.
Club Rio is ideal for families, nature lovers, and thrill-seekers looking to pack multiple activities into a single day without the hassle of traveling between venues.
