Activities and Recreations at The Springs Resort & Spa, Arenal, Costa Rica

The miles of river frontage on the property lends itself to a variety of activities including swimming, inner-tubing, kayaking, fishing and hiking. Your stay includes unlimited access to all resort hot springs and pools. AND of course, nearby tours and excursions are a must-do.

Club Rio Outdoor Center
Club Rio Outdoor Center is located directly below the resort along the beautifully forested, mile long stretch of Arenal River frontage. With its eight different soft adventure activities, Club Rio is perfect for all ages and is a “Must See” area of the resort. Some of the tours and activities include River Tubing, Inflatable River Kayaking, Horseback Riding, Rock Climbing and Rappelling, Nature Tours, Hot Springs and River Fishing. Before and after the scheduled tours, guests are encouraged to walk the hiking trails leading to secluded, natural hot springs just feet away from the river’s edge.

Club Rio also features Arenal’s finest animal sanctuary. In conjunction with the MINAE (Ministry of Environment and Energy) they operate a preserve for Costa Rican wildlife that have been confiscated from poachers or donated by other private reserves, rescue centers or individuals. The Wildlife Sanctuary Tour gives guests the opportunity to experience a large array of Costa Rican wildlife living in beautiful, natural habitats all in one easily accessible location.

The Games side of the hotel's conference level features old-fashioned parlor games such as billiards, darts, chess, checkers, cards and backgammon as well as a few high-tech video games. Also, a rocking chair on the Sunset Terrace is a great place to not only watch the sun set behind the volcano but also enjoy the distant city lights glimmering at night.
