Sky Tram at Arenal

Sky Tram at Arenal: A Scenic Rainforest Journey The Sky Tram in Arenal offers a serene and unforgettable way to experience the lush Costa Rican rainforest from above. This peaceful aerial gondola tour carries you slowly over the treetops, where the landscape opens up to reveal sweeping views of the majestic Arenal Volcano, the sparkling waters of Lake Arenal, and the rolling green hills of the surrounding valley. The journey begins with a 20-minute gondola ride up the mountainside, a gentle ascent surrounded by dense forest, wildlife sounds, and the cool breeze of the highlands. Once you reach the top station, you’ll step out to multiple scenic platforms, including the famous Giant Hand of Arenal—an ideal spot for memorable photos and breathtaking vistas. After spending time at the top, enjoying the peaceful environment and mountain air, a 20-minute descent completes the circuit. The entire experience lasts about one hour and is suitable for all ages and activity levels. Located within Sky Adventures Arenal Park, the tram is just 30 minutes from downtown La Fortuna, and only 10 to 20 minutes from top resorts such as Tabacón Thermal Resort, Arenal Kioro, Arenal Manoa, Nayara Gardens, and Hotel Los Lagos. A restaurant and facilities are available at the base station, making it convenient to enjoy a meal before or after your adventure. For guests staying in La Fortuna or at nearby hotels, optional transportation is available upon request at an additional cost. The Sky Tram can also be combined with other experiences in the same park, like the Sky Trek zipline or Sky Walk hanging bridges, for a full day of adventure and discovery.
