Apart from enjoying the Hot Springs in Arenal you can do different activities related to the nature of the place. This day I recommend that you do two of the following activities or at least one.
Hike in the Hanging Bridges of Místico Park (https://www.misticopark.com/) - In this park you can enjoy nature and see animals such as snakes, monkeys, arachnids and different types of birds. The park offers several types of activities, so I recommend you to take a look at their website. The place is impressive and the visit is well worth it. a highlight of your Costa Rica vacation.
The entrance to the park without guide costs around 26 usd per person and with guide 42 usd. If you decide to visit without a guide, be careful not to disturb the animals. The advantage of going with a guide is that they have a very trained eye to see animals. The advantage of going without a guide is that you can make the visit more calmly and at your own pace.
The park offers a night tour experience to watch the animals. If you are brave this experience is highly recommended.
There are several companies that offer this expedition. Honestly for me it was the activity that I liked the least because the volcano can be seen from many points quite well. The hike does not bring you too close to the volcano and does not require much effort.
La Fortuna Waterfall (https://www.cataratalafortuna.com/) - During the visit to the Fortuna Waterfall you take a walk though the jungle to arrive to the waterfall. In the park there are activities such as horseback riding and zip lines. I personally think that the best way to visit this park is to walk on your own. I recommend you to check their website in advance to prepare your visit.
